It has been a few months since I've had the procedure and I have had several people asking me to update how things have been since having the procedure. Probably the best thing that has happened since having the procedure is the fact that I have not had a period at all. However, I do get back pain, cramping, etc still around the same time I would normally get a period. And it is getting worse and worse each month. I haven't called my doctor because I figured I would give it at least 6 ... Read More about Novasure Procedure Update

NovaSure Procedure
NovaSure is the out patient procedure I had done on Friday. My husband took me to the office, I was taken back to a room and told to take 1 Vicodin (oh I was feeling good!). An IV was started and I was given something that basically put me asleep for about 10 minutes. I needed no breathing tubes, nothing. They did put an oxygen mask on me (I think). I woke up, got dressed, and was on my way home. Very easy procedure. Image courtesy of imagerymajestic at FreeDigitalPhotos.net Why Did I ... Read More about NovaSure Procedure
Doctor Appointment Update
Last week I told you about the Novasure procedure I had back in 2008 that did not work. I met with my doctor yesterday and he and I went over the problems I've been having the last few months.

I knew we were done having kids and I knew I didn't want to live with those female issues for the next however many years until I hit menopause. Of course I blogged about the initial procedure, which was no problem at all (if you leave out my accidental overdose on pain meds that made it feel like each individual hair on my head was being pulled ...

Interesting day at the doctors
Today I had to go to the doctor with my husband. It was the first time I went to the doctor with him. Well, the first time it was a doctor for him. He's been to my va-jayjay doctor many times when I was pregnant with the kids. But this time it was for him, and boy did it bring me back to my 10th grade biology class.Since we are done having children (read here), Dan has decided to get the "snip snip" done. He hates when I use that term, but the word "Vasectomy" sounds so...weird. I know ... Read More about Interesting day at the doctors
