I just had an attempt at novasure, a similar procedure where they burn the lining of the uterus away so that you will no longer have a period. I have been suffering from extreme pain on and off since I was 11. Unfortunately the doc accidently punctured the uternine wall so I will now be having a hystorectomy done on the 17th. Im nervous and anxious about having this done, but I am so ready to be done with the pain of periods. Im 44 so Im done having kids.
