Hi Denise, I just spoke to my doc about this same procedure. I've been on a wonderful pill to control my heavy bleeding since 1997. It's called Aygestin. I take one pill every day 5 mg with no side effects. My doc and I talked over the pros and cons and we both decided that being on Aygestin was better than having scar tissue build up which can be painful. So, I suggest speaking with your doc about the pros and cons as well as Aygestin. They have a generic form now so if you don't have prescription insurance it should still be affordable. Good luck, Diana
