[quote=Anonymous][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 was suppose to have it done and I chickened out. My doctor told me he had a few patients that had the lining grow back in such a way where there were pockets of blood that get trapped and the pain was so bad they had to have hysterectomies. I still wish I had not chickened out though. I don't like to leave the house 3 out of 10 days that I bleed because it is so bad.[/quote]

I'm 48 and it is tempting.  I will say that.  But the thought of complications and having to go through a hysterectomy - no.  Not worth the risk to me.

My periods can be heavy but it's mostly the first couple of days and after that it's not too bad. Even when it's heavy and can still go about my normal routine even if it is a pain to make extra trips to the bathroom and I have to be careful to wear dark pants just in case.  I am getting more than a little sick of it I will admit but I think that I can wait for it to stop naturally. Especially if I would still be going through PMS and all that crap anyway even if I had the procedure.
