Is There Any Possibility Of Being Pregnant During Endometrial Ablation?
I had an endometrial ablation 6 years ago and have a mentstral cycle 4 times a year. I am having lots of bloating in my stomach and cramping and pinching lower abdomen and pain in my back. I also feel tired and eating more and I am gasy and burp a lot. I took 4 pregnancy tests and all came out negative. Could I be pregnant even though I had an endometrial ablation 6 yrs ago?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The possibility of pregnancy is less after endometrial ablation.
As all pregnancy tests gave negative result, that should be considered.
The symptoms you are having could be due to some gastric disturbances.
Possibly taking antacids can decrease the symptoms.
If symptoms persist even after taking antacids, better to go for ultrasound once.
Ultrasound helps in ruling out the possibility of pregnancy and possible cause for your problem.
Check for hemoglobin and blood sugar levels.
Take care.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After an endoetrial ablation the chances of pregnancy are very remote. These chances are even lesser if you are not having your regular periods. The symptoms you have are likely to be due to indigestion.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

in endometrial ablation patches of endometrium are removed so pregnancy may occur even after this procedure.your symptoms may be because of hormonal changes during mentrual cycle.
