Hi Hopskotch71 and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn about your situation.

It is understandable to feel unsure about having a hysteroscopy, especially if you were expecting another scan first.

It is ok to ask whether you could have a repeat scan, especially as you have had successful transvaginal scans in the past.

But if the ultrasound did not give enough information, your doctors may need to find another way to check the lining of the womb.

A hysteroscopy allows them to look directly inside the womb and, if needed, take a small sample for testing. It can give more information than an ultrasound alone.

If you are worried about the procedure, it is reasonable to ask your GP or the gynaecology team why they feel a hysteroscopy is needed rather than repeating the scan.

They should explain the reasons and discuss any other options with you so that you can make an informed decision.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support

It might help to talk things through with one of our nurses on the helpline. You can call for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

I hope this information is helpful.
