I had my procedure April 4th. Took me about a week to recover and felt great for about 2 weeks like I wasn't bloated feeling anymore. Recently, I started feeling my stomach being bloated and protruding again . It concerns me as to why I feel bloated and swollen again. I have my mri next month to see if anything has changed as far as shrinkage is concerned. My uterus was enlarged with 2 fibroids on the outside wall measuring roughly 7cm and one small one at 1cm. Was hoping with any shrinkage with the blood supply bein cut off that my uterus would shrink as well . My period is better but trying to figure out my cycle dates. I had one period then got it again 2 weeks later. It's been about 4 weeks now and haven't gotten my period yet. Anyone else having similar issues or am I being too impatient?

    Hi.

    We are very closely linked. I had my procedure March 13th. Like yourself, my periods are wonky and I am feeling bloated again. I am just thinking it is because I am expecting my period. But who knows? In Canada we have to wait 3 months for our follow up appointment - so I too will look forward to learning if it has shrunk, and by how much...

    The only news that I have read that may help is that for the first 3 months, it is truly the entire 3 months. You think it may not be because the relief is so genuinely great right away...then it kinda creeps back. Hang in there. Keep me posted on what you learn smile
