I had my internal scan today. No pain or real discomfort with that and it was done in 10 -15minutes. I then saw the consultant who said I have a polyp but also the lining of my womb is thicker than normal. I’ll need a hysteroscopy within the next week to 10 days. He said the positives are that I have presented to them early on with my symptoms and that I have had 2 vaginal births. The negatives are that I am overweight and that can cause an increase in oestrogen which can increase the thickness of the lining of the womb which can cause cancer. He said I would have a hysterectomy if cancer cells were present. I’m terrified as I heard one of the sonographers say ‘66’ to her colleague and if that was the thickness of  the lining, 66 mm is very, very high! (Might have been another measurement though!)

I feel worse now I think than I did before. I know there will be lots of waiting now which is so hard. 

66 is probably the size of your womb length. They do length width and girth (all around). Keep your chin up girly. We’ve all got this!

Thank you so much! Yes I think 66 is probably the length of my womb! I’m driving myself mad with looking at Google. I live on my own and am overthinking everything this afternoon. Good to have this online support group though!
