I had this, had a proper period.

After biopsies and everything came back ok I was told this happens alot like the ovaries kick up for one last time but it is important to get it checked just in case.

Evening All.

I am 43 I've not had a period for three years but had in last 6 months started HRT.. I've had some bleeding... some brown discharge and light bleeding and few weeks later bad cramps and heavy bleeding. I've had ultrasound with thickning of the cervix identified  and booked in for thr camera procedure tomorrow.. Feeling a little nervous but hoping its the HRT that is doing this? 

I wondered if HRT was causing my bleeding, though I've not had bleeding with it before. Good luck with your procedure tomorrow. Let me know how it goes.

I spoke to the GP this morning who said that my transvaginal ultrasound was normal, therefore no other tests were indicated. She put my postmenopausal bleeding down to hormones. Is that right? Should I be asking for further tests like a hysteroscopy? I only ask as I am aware of people on here who have said how long it took for the GP to take their symptoms seriously, and then found they had cancer.

Hi Kerry

You said you ended up not having a transvaginal ultrasound but an abdominal- is that right? If I were you, I'd want further investigations rather than putting it down to hormones. Having had post menopausal bleeding myself, I don't feel your doctor should dismiss your symptoms without you seeing a gynaecologist. Just my opinion. 

Thanks Minska, that was what I was thinking. It's hard to get past the GP sometimes

Yes, it can be difficult, but I think you're right-given your symptoms-to want further investigations. The gp is not the specialist, the gynaecologist is. Good luck!
