Hey Maudella :)

I hope you are OK, just wondering if you have heard anything back?

I am in a similar situation at the moment, I am 37 and have been have heavy periods since June last year, often lasting 8 weeks + and then spotting inbetween, which has caused anaemia.

I had abdo and internal ultrasounds done 2 weeks ago and it showed that I had grossly thickened endometrium (27mm) so my GP referred me to gynae under the 2ww.

I had a hysteroscopy and biopsy done last Friday and I was told that it would be approx 4 weeks until I get results.

My aunt passed away last year from Ovarian cancer, she was stage 4 at diagnosis and only lasted 9 months so I am really petrified at the moment and I don't know what is going to happen if there is a positive or negative biopsy result.

Good luck 

Hi voodooqueen86 I have my appointment for the hysteroscopy this week. Have you got any advice to make it more bearable?

how have you been whilst waiting for your results?

Hey Maudella definitely take both paracetamol and Ibuprofen (if you can) 1 to 2 hours before the appointment. It did hurt at the end, mainly when the biopsy was being taken but it really wasn't as bad as I imagined it being. The consultant did offer me gas and air or local anaesthetic, if I thought I needed it. 

I'm ok, just want to know what's going on really. Finding it difficult trying to concentrate at work etc.

How are you doing? X

Thanks voodooqueen86 Trying not to think about it really, but actually very anxious about the actual procedure and then what might happen.

just have to put on my big girl pants and get through it!

Hey Maudella  how are you doing? Did you have your hysteroscopy? How did it go? 

 voodooqueen86 I did, it was ok. Had a polyp removed and biopsies taken. 
The team were so good, very thorough in their explanation of what would happen and why.

Said I’ll get a letter with the results and next steps. But will be returned to the GP, the removal of the polyp is expected to improve the situation. We shall see.

Pending any results from the biopsy

how are you doing?
