Background:

Endometrial ablation is a common procedure for managing abnormal uterine bleeding.
While effective, it is associated with rare but significant complications.

Observation:

This report details a rare case of pregnancy occurring after endometrial ablation.
The pregnancy in this instance concluded with a spontaneous abortion.

Findings:

Pregnancy post-endometrial ablation is an infrequent event.
Outcomes of such pregnancies can vary, including spontaneous abortion and, in documented cases, full-term delivery.

Implications:

Clinicians should remain aware of the possibility of pregnancy after endometrial ablation.
Patient counseling should include discussion of this rare complication and its potential outcomes.
