 Does anyone have anything they can share with me about the Novasure Ring placement? My daughter is going to have it done soon. Thanks!

Novasure
The little booklet said that it helps with PMS symptoms, but I thought that in a few months I would give it a go. Not having periods in itself is a great reason to do it for me, no remembering pills! I'm done having kids too, so I think its just right.
NovaSure Procedure
I had the NovaSure procedure in February of 2007. It was the best decision of my life!! I was extremely anemic and was on IV iron supplementation for several years before I went searching for an OB/GYN for options for my heavy cycle. I was introduced to this procedure by my OB/GYN and did lots of research online. Basically, it is a minimally invasive endometrial ablation that burns the lining of the uterus to destroy the endometrium. The procedure only lasts a few minutes, but you are put under general anesthesia. My doctor told me it should last approximately 5 years, maybe longer (no guarantees). She told me some patients have much lighter cycles and some have no cycles afterward. I was a lucky one....I have had no cycle since I recovered from my procedure, and also no more IV iron supplementation. This has been great!!!!
