Hi, I am in a similar situation,age 56,  GP concerned with bleeding since changes to HRT ( to progesterone only from combined patches),after almost a year of no period.Had Ultrasound scan Tuesday, shows thickened lining, now awaiting urgent Gynae appointment within next few weeks.Am obviously worried about outcomes but also glad that it's all being dealt with quickly, it's all a bit overwhelming tbh.

My story is identical to yours. I should have had my hysteroscopy on 29th but my anxiety was through the roof so consultant asked me if I preferred general aesthetic. I jumped at the chance. Now I am waiting for a pre op appt and a telephone call for appt to have the hysteroscopy and biopsy done. It’s very overwhelming but reassuring that things are happening quickly.

I’vs got an internal scan tomorrow and then see a consultant afterwards .I’m getting more and more worried the nearer it gets! Am dreading that they say I need a hysteroscopy, as I’ve heard they can be very painful. Hugs to everyone going through all this!! Xx

I too was a ball of n iety about the hysteroscopy but my consultant gave me the option of having a general anaesthetic so don’t get worried. Just ask them. My consultant said I won’t have to wait for a new appt as it’s still under 2ww and asked if I would be ok if the called within 2 to 3 days. Chins up girls. We got this :) hugs

Just had to complete an online pre op assessment and been notified my day surgery for hysteroscopy will be on 16th July. Timing is good for our holiday which is booked for 20th July. Can’t believe how fast this is all going. 

Good to know that a hysteroscopy is day surgery. I hope all goes well and that you will be celebrating good news on your holiday!

Were you offered just sedation as an alternative to a full anaesthetic? 

Due to my heightened anxiety the consultant mentioned GA and I said yes! Yes please!. I didn’t give the poor man the chance to offer anything else. I just want to sleep and deal with whatever when I wake up. I had sedation when I had a laparoscopy when I had an ulcer and I can still remember the yucky bits of that so GA is better option for me. 

Hi I had to have my Hysteroscopy done under general anesthetic because the pain was so intense when they tried to do it before. I just had it done Friday 12th july. It all went very well & I'm recovering at home. Just got to wait for the results of the biopsies now. The waiting is very hard. Like you said, it's a very overwhelming time, and I am struggling with it. But rest assured, you will be fine having it done. Thinking of you x

Wishing you all the best. I totally understand what you are going through. Desperately waiting for the results of the biopsies now. Glad I found this forum as I feel alone with my feelings, although my family and husband are supportive.  X

Abbie52 did they give you any feedback at all after your hysteroscopy? Hope you continue to rest and recover well. 

No feedback really. I asked if any polyps had been removed because from the internal scan they thought polyps were present. But i was told that during the Hysteroscopy they didn't find polyps. Apart from that I was told results would be 2-3wks. X

Hi, my hysteroscopy and D&C was on June 28 and I’ve still not had any news. To be honest, I’m on holiday anyway and have taken the gung-ho attitude of “what the heck” whilst I wait. How long is too long before I start to bother someone in a lab somewhere?

Here’s hoping we all get good news.
