I had the procedure done in February of this year. I cannot say how well it has work for me because it will take 3 months I was told to find out how well it will work. I will say that last months period was better than previous ones. I was given pills to open my cervix the night before. Make sure to take some type of pain reliever before you take those pills. That will cut out most of the cramping. I hate the speculums, so for me that was the worst part for me. Make sure you have a full bladder before hand. Procedure takes about 20 minutes. There is cramping but I felt it was not that bad considering what you are having bad. Plus, if you continue taking Aleve or Advil from the night before it will take edge off and you will have a head start on pain. Besides the speculum the only real pain I felt was at the end when the internal ultrasound was inserted. And it was more because of being sore, and it was a few seconds. When you go home continue pain meds. I got up and did things that day, and, then the next day just went back to normal activities. I did have discharge and thought to myself will this ever stop and it finally did. I know everyone had different pain tolerance, but, in all sincerity this is not a bad procedure. I can see where your nerves would get the best of you and make it worse. That began happening to me while I waited for my bladder to get full sitting on the exam table. But if it helps you it is worth it. Good luck to all you ladies :)
