A member asked:
I had an endometrial ablation on december 7, 2012. is it normal to have a period now? two and a half weeks after procedure?

Not unusual: The destroyed lining has to pass. It's generally not indicative of future results. See how you do after this, hopefully you'll be seeing good improvement.

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.
