Atrial Tachycardia Ablation

I had an ablation for atrial tachycardia three weeks ago. A focal source was found and ablated but EP had trouble confirming if it was the true source (they found a spot that when stimulated started firing off runs of AT, but wasn't having enough AT at baseline to confirm that's where it was coming from). They also found an Atrial Flutter circuit and ablated that as well, a nice bonus.

Anyway, so far things have only been worse, especially recently. EP wanted me off of flecainide so maybe that's why but have yet to see any improvement. Anyone who's had ablation for AT share a similar experience? EP was upfront about AT being difficult to ablate so I had an inkling that this might not work. Just curious if I need to wait months to find or if the fact that my arrhythmia still exists unchanged gives a good idea that it may not have worked.
