[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone had a complication from one?  My doctor explained all the possible complications and I decided to wait (I am 49 so I don't know how much longer I will have periods anyway).  But my bleeding is so heavy now and the cramps are crazy.  They seem to be getting worse over time.[/quote]

I didn't have a complication FROM the surgery itself, but I had a complication during the surgery, in that the doctor was unable to properly open the tool and make it fan out correctly and ended up tearing my cervix as a result  :shock: .  I ended up with a fairly severe post-op infection because of it and was very ill for a few weeks, as well as scar tissue in my uterus that luckily has not caused any long term trouble.  From what I understand, the complication I had is extremely rare and I still don't know how or why it happened.  The doctor offered to try again, but uh...no thanks.  I opted to try a Mirena IUD instead, even though there was some concern that it wouldn't be compatible with the scar tissue from the procedure, but fortunately I haven't had any problems.[/quote]
