Hi i am litrally going through the same thing. I have had a fibroid for around 28 yrs it has now calcified in 54 and gone a whole yr without a period then the day I finishes exactly a yr to the day I had very slight spotting. My linning is 6.5 mm b3cause they say any bleeding after 12 months should be investigated. I had a biopsy for this 3 yrs ago and it was clear. Your probably light headed from the blood flow. Some people have 30mm lining and still have a clear biopsy of cancer. Its good that there sending tou for tests as this can rule out cancer. Fibroid can also make you bleed so it could be that.

Hi Katdea, thank you so much for replying. The 30mm makes me feel a bit better. Yes, you’re right it’s good to have it checked. Fingers crossed x Glad you results were fine. Thanks for sharing. Take care 

I am about to have another one because of the slight spotting but im hopful it will be clear. If it isn't then at least it can be dealt with. We will be ok x

Wishing you all the best x I hope you are right x Lets stay positive xx 

Hi Lottiebun, and thank you for posting,

I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Waiting for tests and results can be incredibly stressful, and it’s completely understandable to feel anxious during this time.

Unfortunately, until the biopsy is done, no one can say for certain what the cause of the bleeding is. This period of uncertainty can be very difficult, and many people describe feeling as though things are out of their control.

Most women who have post‑menopausal bleeding and a thickened womb lining are referred for a biopsy. While the doctors need to rule out anything serious, such as cancer, it’s important to remember that most women do not have cancer. There are several non‑cancerous causes, including fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia, which are much more common.

I hope you have supportive friends or family around you while you’re waiting. If you’d like to talk things through or need some emotional support, our nurses are here for you. You can call our freephone helpline on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Take care,
