Hi
I feel a bit silly but I am finding it difficult waiting for the results of my womb biopsy.
I am 50 in April and stopped having periods 2.5 years ago and in August last year I had a small bleed. I went to the doctors, she wasn't concerned and said that as I was under 50 it was usually only a concern if you had bleeding after 2 years. I said it was only a month until the 2 years and only 6 months until I was 50. She agreed to refer me. I had almost forgotten about it and then got an appointment for a scan January just gone.
I got a phone call from my GP a few days later saying I had unexpected womb thickening and she wanted me to have a camera take a further look , 2 days later I got a scary letter saying it could be cancer ( it did also say that 9/10 people referred in this way didn't have it) I got an appointment through for the following week 31st Jan for the hospital. No information, just assumed it was for a camera investigation. When I got there they informed me that I didn't need that as I had already had an ultrasound on my abdomen and transvaginal so they were taking a biopsy.
after she had taken the biopsy she said it was going to take about 3 weeks for the results. I am now 2 weeks and a day in , I have managed to keep busy with work (I work in a school) and we have just been away for the weekend but now I am off for half term and been having terrible period like pain and pain in my lower back . Now I am going out of my mind waiting. I keep telling myself it's probably going to be nothing, the Dr who took the biopsy said she wasn't expecting any surprises from the results , anything sinister so I don't even know why I am worrying.
Thank you for reading
