Postmenopausal bleeding after 10 years

Hello Greenvelvet

Thank you so very much for thinking of me and remembering my appointment. I can't tell you how touched I am.   My ultrasound is tomorrow.  I am still awaiting the results of the biopsy I had on the 5th April. They told me those results would take two weeks. Due to the Easter break I'm hoping I hear something today or tomorrow with the US also tomorrow.  Since you reached out to me I have not googled or researched anything as your positive and supportive words were all I needed. However the last few days have been a challenge and I was in bed with a migraine yesterday no doubt due to the stress.  Thankfully I haven't bled since the original five day bleed so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

I hope you are coping with the trauma and turmoil you have been through these last few months. Even though you got the right results I have no doubt the worry and anxiety will have had a profound affect on you.

I'm not used to discussion forums and your last message did not allow me to reply in the way I had previously so I really hope you receive this reply.  I am so moved by your kindness. Thank you. I will be in touch with my news.

    Hello 

    I have literally just been through this process and I know how scary it is

    i have been on HRT since 2015 ('m 53) and for the past couple years, continuous hrt where you don't bleed. I started spotting out of the blue in January and didn't think much of it as not uncommon to bleed on hrt. When it dragged in into Feb I went to the Dr ( or spoke on the phone!) and was referred for the 2 week wait for urgent assessment. I was very scared. Too much googling and forums and reading about cancer convinced me I would be facing that outcome. I had a biopsy (not painful but uncomfortable- take a paracetamol an hour beforehand) and then the scan a week or so later. I was eventually told I had a thin endometrium and needed to modify hrt. Just waiting for that appointment. I stopped hrt a couple of weeks ago through my own choice and will decide whether to have a coil when I next see the GP. It is a scary time but the overwhelming majority of women have nothing to be concerned about and my research revealed that women on hrt were even less likely to develop womb cancer. PLease try not to worry. The sonographer won't tell you anything at the scan so don't read anything into that. You should hear within a few days - chase the GP up if you don't hear within a week.

    Take care of yourself and keep busy and I wish you all the very best xx
