Its common: Not all patients will completely stop bleeding after an ablation. It may take a few months before you know what your menses will be like. You should talk to you md about your particular problem.

That's OK: Endometrial ablation is typically done by using thermal or rf , (radio frequency), to destroy the endometrial lining. Imagine a burn on your skin. At first, the wound "weeps" fluid before healing. This is similar to the watery discharge during the 4-6 weeks after an ablation. This is a normal response after the procedure and may cause some spotting or discharge for several weeks.
