Post Menopausal Bleeding

Wiseowl1

I am 65 and had an early menopause at about 45. I have had 3 episodes of some post menopausal bleeding over the last 2 months. It’s been very light, and just been a one off thing each time. I have a cervical smear test booked for the week after next . I’m wondering if I should chat to my GP before that though? Also I feel bloated, but I’m not sure if that’s just psychological!

    I had bleeding at Easter, it stopped and then started again, stopped and started. Finally saw a doctor on Thursday, so 2 days ago and I am booked in for a D&C on Friday of next week. My uterus lining is thicker than it should be. I’m terrified but trying not to imagine the worst. Have been overweight all my life and have never had children, two factors which can also contribute to cancer. I’ll crumble, I know I will, I won’t have it in me to fight.
