I am waiting on the same but my lining is 12 mm i would imagine from what I have read that you have nothing to be worried about and that your dr is just double checking as they should investigate any post menopausal bleed xx good luck  

I hope you get a date soon.

The waiting is the worst thing.

I've had a series of tests recently including a colonoscopy for a separate condition and then the whole gynae thing.

I'm convinced the stress has caused two bouts of shingles,and have now reached my limit.

I do appreciate the importance of these tests but have run out of steam.

I hope all goes well for you.

Thanks - u got a date quick enough ! Wishing I had held out for g a now xx 

I was surprised to get the letter yesterday.

I can understand your worries,please be sure and tell doctor that you are anxious.

If it becomes too much you can ask for them to stop the procedure at any time.

Will be thinking of you.

The good thing about having it done whilst you're awake is at the end they can pretty much tell you if they saw anything worrying or not they told me as soon as it was over that they couldn't see anything nasty although they did take biopsies and a polyp but I felt assured it would  be ok and it was .

Thankyou yes I will and I got something to relax me hopefully that will help and then take the ibuprofen’s before hand  

Thanks Jenny I never thought of it that way it would be great to find out straight away as I think it’s the waiting is the worse… glad everything was ok for you 

At least whilst you're awake you can judge their expressions I couldn't stand to wait weeks or longer for a G/A then wait weeks for results as you say that is the worst ,I would say by Friday you'll pretty much have a good idea one way or the other ,the quicker the better at least you can then get on with other things .

Tks Jenny 

I didnt think I would get any results on the day I thought I would still be waiting so that’s good to know 

Please let us know how it goes.

Good luck.

Hi Mary. great news that you have an NHS appointment so soon. I am having to pay for a private consultation because I could have been waiting weeks for an initial Gynaecologist appointment. I had a TV ultrasound on Tuesday and my uterus lining was 5.3mm but I have had no bleeding but other symptoms like frequency and urgency of urination and my stomach has hit a lot bigger.  Hoping that he will then arrange a hysteroscopy and biopsy through NHS as some of the prices to have this done privately are ridiculous. Can I ask if they did any blood tests such as CA125. Thanks

Hi Jow,

I didn't have any blood tests at all,

I had what I thought was a period for five days(I'm 59 so was unexpected),

I mentioned it to my GP who tried to examine me but there was still too much blood,sorry for gross information.

She referred me via the two week rule,

I had an appointment for gynae following week,they did a ultrasound and a vaginal ultrasound,

she said lining was 5mm so would need hystercopy, biopsy and a smear( thankfully under general anaesthetic).

I think I first reported bleed at beginning of September so fairly quickly though have been warned biopsy results are five weeks.

Like you I am bloated,peeing a lot more and period pain( without bleeding).

I had bowel issues too but that has been diagnosed as diverticulitis.

I hope you do manage to get sorted via NHS,

my daughter paid for private health care via work and it has cost a lot.

Take care and good luck.

Thanks for your reply Mary, from what you have said it sounds like the coil could have caused the bleeding. Fingers crossed that the biopsy results don’t show anything. It is good that you have been seen so quickly. I have been quoted around £3000 for a hysteroscopy so will have no option but to wait for an NHS appointment. Good luck Mary. 

Sorry Mary, just read Rachel’s post as part of this thread so comment about the coil is not relevant. Fingers crossed that you get done good results. I have not slept properly for the past few nights so my appointment on the 5/10/23 can’t come quickly enough. 

That's an outrageous price for a hystercopy.

I have mine on the day before your appointment,though then there is the wait for the biopsy.

Hopefully all of us get good news

I am not sure if the price if £3000 included the biopsy and the pathology. One company quoted £4000 to £6000. I queried this price to make sure she wasn’t quoting for a hysterectomy but it was definitely for a hysteroscopy. I suppose they assume that most people going private have private medical insurance but the price seems extortionate. I don’t want to give you false hope but read last night that a uterus thickness of less than 5.5mms is less likely to be malignant. Trying to hold on to that thought until I have the biopsy and get the results.
