I had the procedure done at the end of March 2013. It was a difficult decision for me as I was not done having children but it was no longer safe for me to have more due to 3 c-sections. My doctor pushed me to have this surgery despite my resistance. When I say pushed, really pushed. I believe they might get a kickback for doing the procedure.
Since then, I have been constantly spotting, sometimes heavy, sometimes light. I have also had abdominal cramping that sometimes reaches around to my lower back. At times, I take Advil to help with the pain. I have also had two severe bladder infections – prior to this, I had no bladder infections. Intercourse is also painful. I am heartbroken over this. This has been not only an extremely emotional time, it is now turning out to be very painful as well. Worst decision of my life!
