The little booklet said that it helps with PMS symptoms, but I thought that in a few months I would give it a go. Not having periods in itself is a great reason to do it for me, no remembering pills! I'm done having kids too, so I think its just right.

Does anyone have anything they can share with me about the Novasure Ring placement? My daughter is going to have it done soon. Thanks!

NovaSure Procedure
I had the NovaSure procedure in February of 2007. It was the best decision of my life!! I was extremely anemic and was on IV iron supplementation for several years before I went searching for an OB/GYN for options for my heavy cycle. I was introduced to this procedure by my OB/GYN and did lots of research online. Basically, it is a minimally invasive endometrial ablation that burns the lining of the uterus to destroy the endometrium. The procedure only lasts a few minutes, but you are put under general anesthesia. My doctor told me it should last approximately 5 years, maybe longer (no guarantees). She told me some patients have much lighter cycles and some have no cycles afterward. I was a lucky one....I have had no cycle since I recovered from my procedure, and also no more IV iron supplementation. This has been great!!!!
