Endometrial Biopsy - results/waiting time

Hi! 
Im 25 years old.. 

Overview: Since I was 18 I always had irregular periods ect.. Ive been fobbed off for years! Evenutally was diagnosed with PCOS, was told I pretty much couldnt have children. Me and my partner were having unprotected sex 4 years and nothing! Any how in lockdown a mircle happened!! I got pregnant! Long story short I have a very healthy 21 month old son! This is when my problems got bad.. 

He was an emergancy c section & I was put to sleep. 3 week after I started bleeding (I think my period I dont know anymore) any how this bleeding continued for 10 months straight non stop! Doctors fobbed me off didnt really know what to do, so I begged for a refural he put me in for one but non emergancy. After 10 months the bleeding stopped for a couple weeks.. and now I bleed for 23-26 day then i stop for a week or two then its the same again.. the pain I get a week before I start bleeding that continues through is nothing I could ever explain, I feel just dead almost, im taking lots of opiods to manage the pain but its truly ruining my life & my experience of motherhood with my little one.  anyhow I finally got my refural on the 14th of Feb! In which doc did a endometrial biopsy? Im abit shocked that I was offered no pain releif to help this process as I was in aggony, my legs were shaking so bad and I literally couldnt stop them! Any how the doc said hes sent it as an emergancy and I should have results back in 2-3 weeks! We are almost hitting 2 weeks and absolutely nothing? Ive been told to wait for a letter..

I just need to know has anyone else experience this? Ive been having the worst depression and anxiety the past 2 weeks, im struggling to cope really I just want to sit and cry.. 

Should I assume its good news? That Ive waited this long? I just need some reassurance? Has anyone waited 2 weeks with no results and then still got bad news? Or should I expect them to be normal with it being a while? Im so worried I just need peice of mind - why does NHS now only give results by letter? I cannot concentrate on anything I feel alone & scared (only because of how much pain im in daily and the extent of the bleeding) I just need some reassurance from someone, anyone please

 

sorry for the ramble xx

    I had hysteroscopy and biopsy back in July and heard by letter after just over 4 weeks. I think I would have had a phone call before that if needed. The letters were dated at least 10 days before I received so the results and the MDT meeting were obviously earlier. My outcome was repeat scans and further biopsies after six months, nothing suspicious found but cysts and polyps (now removed). Biopsy last week I was told results are taking 2-3 weeks to come back to them from histology now.
