I had my endometrial ablation today. Accounts on the internet had led me to believe that this would be an easy breezy procedure and that I would be feeling great by dinner-time.
Not so much.
I am much crampier than I anticipated. I had a D&C following a miscarriage a few years ago, and asked the doctor if recovery would be similar. He responded that cramping was generally worse following a miscarriage and D&C than after this procedure. But I don't really remember having any cramping after the D&C, and I do remember feeling really well morning after (it surprised me because I am always really, really sick when I am pregnant and I was shocked at how quickly the nausea went away once I was no longer pregnant.) This is early-labor type cramping--except that it is constant rather than appearing every 5 minutes or so.
I'm also quite nauseated--probably from taking morphine on an empty stomach. But that's kind of a catch-22.
Here's hoping this all sorts itself overnight, because TT has her first football game in the morning, and I really want to be there for Mommy support.

A friend of mine who had the proceedures was crampy for about three days afterwards, but it did get progressively better.
Good luck!!!
