Hi, 

I was wondering if any of you had a hysteroscopy prior to diagnosis and how you found it? I'm pretty certain I'm going to have to have one as my transvaginal ultrasound showed a thickened endometrium and large ovarian cyst and I've been having heavy long periods(lasting up to 7 weeks at some points) for the last 6 months, but am really scared of having the hysteroscopy having read about how painful most people find it. To complicate matters I'll be having all this done in Portugal as that's where I'm now resident. I feel like I'm being a coward considering what you're all going through, but on the one hand am dreading the procedure and on the other just want to find out what's going on as I've been waiting 4 months since my urgent referral to Gynae. Thanks
