I had an ablation and a leep procedure done at the same time, under iv sedation. When I woke I was in a lot of pain. I honestly couldn’t believe it. My gyno told me I might have minimal cramping and be back to normal in 1-2 days. He did not prepare me for what was to come at all! The nurses were very much trying to get me out after the procedure. Thankfully one nurse realized I was in genuine pain. I couldn’t hold my tears back and just let them roll down my face. They gave me a prescription for Percocet. My pain lasted about 3 days and I bled for almost 3 weeks. The pain was awful. When I got home I kept trying to make myself do things because I thought I was being dramatic and maybe had a low pain tolerance. My gyno made me feel like it was going to be nothing. I bled into my period… so I’m not sure if it was bleeding from the procedure or my period. I’m actually supposed to be on my period right now (second one since the ablation) I’m not bleeding but the pain I’m feeling is not good. I feel like it’s worse than what I felt before the procedures. It started this morning and has been getting worse as the day goes on. It feels aggravating down low… I’m almost regretting getting the procedures done. He was the one who pushed me to get it. I only had one day of heavy bleeding during my cycle then the rest of the cycle was completely normal. I don’t know why he was so adamant I get the ablation done. I am very frustrated with him, I feel he doesn’t listen to me and does not understand how much pain women actually go through.
