Hi I’m in the same boat haven’t had periods for 14 years was at work ( I work with all men so made it worse ) was just stood chatting no symptoms nothing then like a haemorrhage it was all down my legs nearly fell over with shock and pain but the pain passed quickly contacted my doctor and got fast tracked for an scan next Sunday I’ve googled to death and scared myself stupid I’m hoping that by replying to you I can also get some help or reassurance   

hiya how did you get on ?

Hiya , so I had external and internal scans said my womb lining was thick , had a hysteroscopy under GA , 3 weeks later I have a call saying I need an MRI bcus although what they took on the biopsy was normal , they didn’t get enough of the right cells so she wants an mri just incase she is missing anything  , so here I am waiting for the MRI and then a long wait for the results . 
it’s such a nerve wracking time 

I had 1 period and then another exactly 28 days later , but nothing since 

what are your symptoms ?

I agree the waiting is very nerve wracking!

I had a period at the beginning of July after being 2 years clear so I went to the GP and am now in the 2 week pathway system.  

First came the scans which showed no major concern but my lining measured slightly high at 7mm with a polyp. 

Unfortunately there have been 3 failed attempts at taking a biopsy including under GA - they just cannot get through my uterus!  So I was referred for a MRI which happened very quickly (Monday just gone). I’m hoping they got a good enough picture to help make a diagnosis and am now waiting. 

After my procedure under GA last week I asked what next and was advised that they could attempt the hysteroscopy again but I’m not too keen as they made a false passage last week … luckily no infection has appeared. 

I’m having some low level discomfort in the pelvis and back but that could be a stressy belly!

Not being funny but I’m guessing your not going to have anymore kids so I think I would be saying to them no more just give me a hysterectomy then test it if it is then the first stage is done with and if not then at least that worry is taken away I realise not everyone thinks like me but I’m a very just get on with it and do what needs to be done sort of person I do speak my mind which sometimes gets me into trouble lol but I think that’s the path I would take in your position x 

Omg 3 attempts ?  My word they told me they won’t try to do mine again they don’t want to anther biopsy if they don’t have too as in an invasive procedure so hence the mri

they are kind of saying it’s going to be ok but I’m now panicking about the MRI

It’s all so worrying your mind goes crazy thinking all the things it could be just rest assured no matter what they find your on the right path to have something done sooner rather than later thinking of you all speak soon xx

I’m starting to think along these lines myself. You should have seen my face when he mentioned a 4th attempt!  But they gave me the impression that my case is quite insignificant - I mentioned hysterectomy but he said no, that’s not something which is to be considered at the moment and there are other options to get the biopsy. 

Yep! I’ve got a pretty unfriendly uterus - back in 2013 I had a coil which wouldn’t budge and had to have it removed whilst under GA. They couldn’t get another in and I was told that the entrance to my uterus had veered to the right although they did try to correct this. Unfortunately this isn’t written down anywhere so I find myself having to try to explain this at every appointment and they look at me like they don’t believe me … until they try! 

Good luck with your MRI and don’t worry about the actual appointment - it’s fine ️

Apparently my uterus is tilted!! I mean who knew ??!! 
im not worried about the actual mri it’s what they may see , I think if they offered a hysterectomy at this stage I would just take it ! I’m fed up of all the tests and uncertainty now , I have a couple of holidays to book for next year , but I won’t until I get the all clear ! ( just my mind going to the worse case scenarios) 

I have absolutely no symptoms at all now so I think surely I would if I was ill ? 
I am so surprised at how many women acutely go through this tho !! 

I know I was surprised too just how common it is considering I had never heard of any of this before 

Yes I have a tilted womb too. It is surprisingly common and I was always told it wouldn’t cause any issues but I beg to differ.  I needed a lot of help in childbirth and ended up having an emergency c-section with my second and now continuous failed attempts with hysteroscopies. 

Do you know how long you are going to have to wait for your MRI? Mine happened very quickly - I had a phone call on Sunday night and had it done on Monday.

Ooh I also have a tilted womb !! I have to have 2 c- sections one of those as an emergency bcus of this 

I had waited 10 days , then they called me and it is this Monday coming  she said it was routine  that’s why have had to wait 

been told the results are 4-6 weeks 

im hoping to see a consultant after that cus I feel they are sending me from test to test with no consultations 

You really are being left hanging arnt you it’s not fair really they should be doing all this much quicker have you spoken to your gp or gynea dept at the hospital? 

I have spoken to the Gnea consultant secretary and she says this is within the time frame as they are actually still investigating ??? 
my gp says he won’t it can’t get involved with hospital waiting times 

my only thought is if  something sinister was found they would be chasing me alot quicker 

Yes, I know what you mean and I feel the same - hopefully no news is good news but it’s still nerve wracking!

How long have you been waiting ?

I really feel for you I think the waiting is the worst part and the more you worry but hopefully no news is good news and as you say if it was something sinister they would be chasing more 

Period was beginning of July and I was referred on the 10th. My hold ups have been the hysteroscopies for sure. 

I really don’t want to be waiting weeks for the results of my MRI and may call on Monday/Tuesday if I haven’t heard by then. 

I had a cat scan on Wednesday was told it will be reviewed by the specialist and discussed on teusday I should have the results and what’s next by Friday so maybe work to that time frame and leave about a week gives them chance to look see and discuss hopefully then you will have answers I’m just waiting now for next Friday so good luck and hope you get the results quickly x

Oh that’s good and I’ll be thinking of you. 

Here if you want to chat x

You too I think it helps when you can quieten your mind by chatting with others in the same boat x
