Hey Sarah!

      I just got the result of my biopsy yesterday and it came back saying that I had Complex Hyperplasia Atypia also. I haven't had Mirena or anything like that. The only reason I found this out is because I've been trying to conceive without success and my gynie wanted to see why, so we did a biopsy. I'm sorry to hear about your issues and I will keep you in my thoughts that it isn't Cervical Cancer. What is the next step for you? I am meeting with an oncologist on Wednesday to have a consultation and then a D&C so they can really see what is going on. I am trying to stay positive and hope that I don't have to get a hysterectomy! I need to stop reading the worse case scenarios online. 

I hope it works out, we can chat if you need an ear!

Hey Sarah, 

     It sounds like we are at a similar points. I am currently on Progesterone tablets, I meet with an oncologist tomorrow morning and I will know more after that! Have you had any issues with Mirena? Can you feel it at all? Was it painful when it was put in? The idea of Mirena freaks me out honestly, haha! I don't like the idea of having a foreign object in my hoo-hah! 

Sending you all the best! I hope that the biopsy comes back with cell improvement.

Hello Caitlin, 

I have got on well with the Mirena, nothing to worry about!!! It is a little unpleasant when they put it in, but is very fast.

I do sometimes get what I would call period pains but nothing worse, a little spotting every now and again but I have been told this normal. No period for the past six months and I am blissfully unaware of it being inside me, so do not worry!

You hear stories of women feeling very down as a result of the hormones but I would not say mine have been any different to normal. With our situation you are going to feel highteed emotions anyway.

How did you get on with your new oncoloigist? Have they given you a plan?

I have sent you a friend request so we can direct message each other, it is so nice to talk to someone who knows what your really going through.

Sending you nothing but positive thoughts! Sarah xx

Thank you Sarah for you're reply I had my hysterectomy on the 30th of jan this year.My body could not take any more medication the mirina coil didn't work for me but after that I was put on a high dose of megace which made me really sick and very low moods.so my doctor said hysterectomy would be the safest option because it was not going away .I still have my ovaries but I must get a scan once a year and a blood test incase my ovaries change.if you need any advice please contact me.im just taking one day at a time...

Hi everyone 

would love an update on how your all doing. I am due a scan and a hystroscopy (think that's what it's called) as I had a polyp removed and a blind womb biopsy that showed thick lining. Consultant said no abnormal cells were present but wants to have a full look at my womb. I don't have regular periods due to pcos and I don't think I ovulate (been trying to get pregnant) he mentioned the mirena coil to help shed the lining regular. I'm terrified as I have been googling (I know I shouldn't) and I have seen lots of horror stories. I feel totally lost and alone as nobody I know has been through anything like this. I'm just praying it is all normal and just a thick lining.
