Tubal & BCP - Frustrated!
| Thu, 10-19-2006 - 11:03am |
Hi!
I had my tubes tied about 2 years ago when we decided not to have any more kids. I had to go back on the pill shortly after that, since my son was born (4 years ago), I have not been regular. I would sometimes have 2 periods per month and never knew when it was going to start. I am on Ortho-TriC and now my sex drive has been gone for a while and I am starting to have breakthrough bleeding. Not to mention I have had horrible migraines for years, not pill related, but who knows if they contribute. I am tired of taking a pill every day, especially when I had my tubes done! I have read about the endo ablation, is this safe and will it help my periods not come so often? Short of having a partial hysterectomy, I dont know what else to do anymore. I am 36 years old and healthy. Thanks!

I had a tubal 3 years ago and just a few weeks ago my gyn talked to me about options to regulate my periods and decrease the heaviness. I ended up getting a prescription for a Nuvaring and just started with it on Sunday. Obviously I haven't been on long enough to really notice anything, but I liked that the dosage was less than the pill and that it was not something I had to deal with daily. I don't know anything about endo ablation, but I hope you find something that works. I'm 43 and healthy too
