ablation

Hi, I am new to board along with being new to my situation. I had an ablation done on Friday. The surgery and the recovery is going fine. However, emotionally I feel like I am on a roller coaster. I am going thru crying spells and mood swings. It this normal? If so, how long does this last. I still have my ovaries, so I am not sure why the mood swings.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks is advance.

Dear Tracy:

Ohhhhhh my gosh girl i thoght it was only me!!!! I had mine erformed on May 9th and still am a mess, I am so moody and all i do is cry, my gyno put me back on natural progesterone to see if that helps!!!! contact me if ya wann be moody together, my hubby is ready to sell me!!!! LOL

Oh my goodness I am not crazy someone else has the moody blues. I am getting a little better but when the moody swing hits it is a home run. I can be very sensitive one minute the next minute I can be a royal pain in the dairy air.

My Dr. tels me that I should not feel this way because I have my ovaries. I totally disagree with him of coarse. I told him just because it is not in your text book that does not mean these feelings do not exist.

Can you tell what mood I am in now.

Hi Ladies,
I had the ablation done in Feb due to excessive bleeding (probably fibroids). Each month since, I've had a very heavy period, like I had before the procedure. I went back to the Dr and she said that my best alternative was the hysto. I'm scheduled for the 22 June.

I don't recall mood swings, but the recovery from the ablation took longer than I thought it should. I was still bleeding quite a bit, and very uncomfortable for a while.

Hope your experience is better than mine.

I think if you will go to the EA board mentioned by twysmilng you will find it's pretty common to be a hormonal mess after EA. It seems to last a couple of months and then get better especially if your EA was successful. It seems the ovaries are missing their cohort (uterine lining) and it takes a while to balance out. We have also discussed that our uteruses have a lot to do with our hormonal balance and having an EA disrupts that.
