Re: post UFE

Kamni,

I had my UAE over one year ago. I remember having the flutter

feeling after about two months. It went away after about a month.

It felt similar to an eye tick like a nerve pulsing in my abdomen. I

don't believe it is anything to worry about. I also had cramps on

and off for about the first three months. I never had bleeding

symptoms just bulk symptoms so I can't help with that. I hope your

next period is better. You can post on the embo group if you want

to " talk " with more people who have had UAE.
