seeking data from people with uteruses (uteri?)

Dear Internets,

Please tell me about your experiences with endometrial ablation.
Because I'm on a lot of different drugs currently, and it looks like that's going to be a long term thing, I'm reluctant to go back on the Pill (also, there's the endless uterine drama of trying to find the one that works, but doesn't give me horrific side effects, and then there's the long-term effects of the Pill itself, and, and, and ...), but I'm a little skeeved by the whole idea of ablation, and there's also the fact that as a woman who started menstruating before the age of twelve, who has never been and never intends to be pregnant, and thus also has never lactated, I hit several of the risk factors for endometrial cancer--which ablation makes much more difficult to detect.
Basically, I don't like any of the options I can see, and I think I need more data. All comments, from the anecdotal to the clinical, will be gratefully welcomed.

And, as an apology for a very self-centered and overly share-y post, let me point out that "Blue Lace Agate" is available as a podcast at Lightspeed, as are many other fine stories, including one by [info] mrissa . (I would link, but Lightspeed's site is currently down.)

message 1: by Beth (new)

Beth Sarah, I have had an endometrial ablation and my only regret is that I didn't have one sooner. I endured horrific periods for thirtysome years with excessive menstrual symptoms. I haven't had a period since the operation and feel great. I encourage women who are suffering the same way I was to check out the operation. It's fast, painless, and the best thing I ever did for myself.
