I was trying to be brief

But I guess I should have gone into more detail. I was living in another state when I started this ordeal. This is when the pills, shots, etc. were started. The doc there said the next step was surgery, then we moved to NC. I didn't press anything early on because I have other medical issues, and I wanted my doc to get familiar with me before approaching this issue. He then sent me to the gyno. Of course, a new doc meant they had to go through the whole process again. That was when the constant bleed began, and suddenly I couldn't get an appointment without waiting a couple of months. I then got a different gyno, got my records from the other gyno and the previous state, and within a month I was having my ablation.

When it was time for the period I didn't have, I had some slight cramping, felt a litte grumpy for the day, and that was it. I can live with it, it's SOOO much better than the he11 I dealt with before.
