Period Changes and Cardiac Ablation

Ashley

So a little history, I had no history of cardiac problems until I was 16 years old and a nurse at a local health department told me I needed to get it checked out, that my heart sounded like a washing machine. My dad never took me in, and I went and had it checked out by a family doctor and he said oh just a regular heart murmur, so I figured everything was fine. Fast figure a number of years and started having lots of palpitations and pains, went to a new family dr who walked in and checked my pulse immediately, he said that’s not a heart murmur, and sent me to a cardiologist and they ran tests, I ended up having over 10,000 pvcs a day, and a couple other issues. I was started on a medicine that knocked the pvcs down to 5000 a day, we tried a medicine increase but it made me so tired so it was bumped back down. Now my periods have always been painful, cramps, lower back pain, pain down my thighs the first day or two and always lasted 6-7 days and usually 33 day cycle or sometimes missing a month here or there. I started having short like two day periods of just having to use panty liners and changing just due to cleanliness in August of 2020 and that lasted well until I had my ablation in May2021z my husband and I actually got pregnant December of 2020 but lost it in January 2021. I talked to my ob in January about my new cycle length and she said oh the amount doesn’t matter as long as your having some sort of period, my family doctor in December 2020 said the same thing. I went to my electrophysiologist appointment in April of 2021 and he said it was time to quit babysitting the problem with medicine, I was having too many pvcs in a row. I had my procedure done May 13th of 2021 with no anesthesia…talk about horrible experience, but I suppose what I’m getting at is, since having the procedure done my periods have been 28 day cycles now, and not hardly painful at all. I haven’t been doing anything differently other than the procedure. So I guess what I’m asking is if having the procedure done, would that mean that my body is working like it’s supposed to now, and getting the proper blood flow? My nurse practitioner at my cardiologist office gave my husband and I the all clear to start trying again in June too. Nothing yet, but fingers crossed.
