A few more questions...

It sounds like many of you don't have period related symptoms any more. Does this help reduce PMS?

The website mentioned 2 week recovery time - is that the case? If that's two weeks off the bike, it'd have to be in the off season.

What (if any) difference is there when menopause hits?

I'm looking for a solution to spotting. Periods are moderately heavy when off the pill, however even on the pill I have a mid cycle bleed; sometimes lasts half the cycle. My gyn is having me take extra estrogen to see if that helps, but isn't overly hopeful that it will resolve these issues.

I only took one day off the bike. I could have ridden if I had wanted. No restrictions except "nothing in the vagina" for 4 weeks.

I am doing well. I have had 2 or 3 mini periods (several hours of light flow) in the last 8 weeks. Nurse says this is normal and It may take up to 3 months to get the little to no period results. I still think it's been worth it, but I think that I need more time to be able to gauge the success.

No menstrual flow at all, still some monthly breast swelling and occasional minor cramping. Novasure is a cauterization of the endometrium and is primarily for extremely heavy menstrual flow. PMS is hormonal.The hormones are still raging and the endometrium is no longer responding but the brain is.
I don't think it will help you there.
