Hi Shivanon and welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms and for the worry they're causing but I'm glad you'll be having an appointment soon to discuss your test results.

I'll have my fingers crossed you'll receive good news but if you'd like to discuss your situation further with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're really easy to talk to and will do all they can to help.

Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well.

We're thinking of you Shivanon and hope your results can provide you with some much needed answers and peace of mind. 

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi Shivanon,

I've got the same symptoms as you.  My coil was meant to thin the lining out, but at the scan yesterday it was 10.8mm and contains vascularity. No polyps found. I've been bleeding daily since they put the coil in 6 months ago, not heavy bleeding, just consistent. It gets heaver if I exercise or over do it a little. I know it's been some months since you posted, but I was just wondering how you are? Did your doctor offer any other treatments? 

Hi LIssy,

Yes I had the hysteroscopy and a biopsy was taken, with no abnormalities found, although I was haemmorrhagic. I had the coil removed and a new one put in, this was the first week of December. Since then, I have had a little spotting, but no more bleeding daily and haven't had a period for 2 months now, so far so good!

It was a relief, and to be honest, the hysteroscopy was nowhere near as bad as I thought. I had a local, so no feeling in the area, didn't feel the coil being removed or reinserted, like you , the first time I had it put in was horrific, I almost passed out! i know there is a long wait for Gynae, but hopefully they can get you in soon. He did say that if it happens again, I could have ablation, but so far so good! I hope you get an appointment soon! xxx
