Pipelle biopsy result

Hi, I wondered whether anyone had been through anything similar? I gave birth 6 months ago. I started to have some discharge about 3 months afterwards and then this turned to light bleeding. I then had an internal examination done at the doctors and since then I have bled every day since the end of February. I got rushed through for an appointment as they suspected endometrial hyperplasia but I had a pipelle endometrial biopsy done last week which has found that the cells were all normal? I have been so worried for 2 months and I cried for an hour today when I got the results through. The only thing is I still don't know the cause as to why I'm bleeding like this and the hospital said to maybe look at having the coil fitted to regulate the bleeding which keeps happening? Has anyone else been given this advice and did going on the coil stop the bleeding?

    I was fitted with a mirena coil late February. I was told that hormonal inbalance had caused womb thickening and polyps. I had bled solidly for 3 months by the time the polyps were removed and the coil fitted and had had about 6-8 months of irregular bleeding up to 8 weeks at a time before then.

    I'm a lot older than you and have had a coil in the past due to pcos and heavy bleeding and had no side effects and no periods.

    I was told when this coil was fitted that it could take up to 3 or 4 months for everything to settle and after a week of no bleeding, the bleeding started again. At the 6 week check, I was still bleeding and was then given tranexemic acid tablets by the GP to stop the bleeding and give me some respite. 

    I would definitely try and talk to your GP - not just for explanation and discussion about the why and the coil but also to try and get something to get the bleeding to stop. Good luck
