Discuss with surgeon: Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any option to reverse the ablation. I highly recommend asking your doctor for verification however. Best of luck!

Risky: Pregnancy after endometrial ablation is unlikely and when it occurs is at high risk for serious complications such as abnormal placental attachment, hemorrhage, preterm delivery, and bleeding leading to need for hysterectomy. Pregnancies after ablation have a 49 percent termination rate in addition to the above complications. If you are willing to take these risks, discuss your plans with a good OB GYN willing to closely follow you and manage complications to the degree possible.

Not reversable: and can cause problems with the pregnancy so discuss with your GYN. Ablations are usually only done in women who are never contemplating any future pregnancies.
