Waiting on biopsy results

I had an endometrial biopsy on 17th June and it was so painful. I’m glad I didn’t read up on it before I got it done because otherwise I would have backed out! I didn’t have any anaesthetic and it was one of the worst pains I’ve ever experienced. 

 

Im 25years old and went the doctors about something completely different but decided to mention whilst I was there that my periods had become longer. Spotting before and then my main period and then spotting afterwards - totalling almost 14 days sometimes. 

They sent me for an ultrasound as a precaution and that wasn’t bad at all. I wasn’t expecting to get a phone call after the weekend to say there were abnormal results and I was being put on the fast track referral. I wasn’t expecting a biopsy at all but it’s been 9 days and I’m literally panicking so much. 

The odds are apparently in my favour but statistics don’t mean anything nowadays. I had a bit of bleeding after it and excruciating pain for the rest of the day. Like others, the bleeding then stopped and came back but more like bloody discharge and not so much in my knickers but more when I wipe. I think it’s finally stopped now

I’m so panicky and I don’t know what the normal aftermath is. I just want to know and I can deal with whatever it is the best I can. The doctors think it’s Endometrial Hyperplasia but google isn’t very good. 

My head is everywhere

  • Good luck to you  hope the pain has resided now I had a core biopsy in my breast  4 samples of skin was taking pressed on my breast for 5 mins to stop bleeeding had breast cancer 9 years ago only got a needle in the tumour so no pain afterwards tumour was removed I was in remission then a lump appeared in the left out of the blue I cried  the pain was awful after local ansetic wore off  waiting 2 weeks called hospital you will be phoned for appointment wed or Thursday  so should be today you must have been in agony  my mum had what you had  she got a local ansetic not put to sleep she’s brave but they removed some tissue that was showing abnormal cells as a friend I would advice you to say to them what options you have have to be knocked out for it or local etc good luck  I hope it’s very little x

  • I don’t think you would have abnormal cells I went through what you did when I was 22  they gave me a womb scrape to clean inside womb afterwards no kore heavy periods etc anyway I wish you well with your results x

  • Thank you Lorz.

     

    Well they said I’ve got abnormal results for my ultrasound and I’ve got cystic tendencies so they’re testing for cancerous cells. 

    The spotting of blood stopped yesterday completely, finally! But now today it’s started again and I called the doctors who passed me to my consultant. Her secretary advised they will call me back on Monday. 

    That doesn’t help because I’m meant to get blood tests on day 2/3 and 21 of my cycle so if this carries on, I won’t know whether it’s the start of my cycle or not! 

    I just don’t know what’s normal for post endometrial biopsy x
