Hi, I understand how you are feeling, I am awaiting hysteroscopy on Monday under General as I am 60 and have had a couple of pink discharge and slight cramping to left side. I have often wondered if over the years urine infections and blood in urine has actually been the onset of this if turns out to be C. Its scarey. I havent had pain in the legs but if we start putting every ailment or pain and ache it would always come up as C in google search. My womb thickness is 14MM. Have you had a date for your hysteroscopy? what did your xray say? i had ultraound which showed my womb lining 14mm.  Waiting and wondering is awful x

Hello  thankyou for your reply.Im trying not to overthink it . Like you say google is not a friend sometimes lol .

I have a hysteroscopy appointment this coming Monday , fairly quick . I'm dreading it tbh . 

I haven't had the results of my hip xray back .

Hope your hysteroscopy goes ok . I have just been told to take paracetamol so fingers crossed .Despite having 3 children with no epidural back in the day it doesn't get any easier 

My ultrasound results were 5.3mm and some fluid

I bled quite heavily during and after which was a bit of a shock ..

Good luck , hope it all turns out OK for both of us .

Let me know how you get on . Take care .

Hi Alexis

how are you? I hope you have an appointment now? I am like you - went to Drs yesterday (after months of bleeding and bloating) and she has referred me straight to hospital me says will get appointment within. 2 weeks. I spent hours yesterday googling - which doesn’t help! I like you find comfort in the posts above - it doesn’t all have to be C there are other issues it could be. 

Let me know how you get on

Hi Tina

Thanks for your message. I was contacted by the hospital this morning and have an appointment for a hysteroscopy on 24th April. They acknowledged it was outside of 2 week timeframe and said if they ad a cancellation they’d contact me. Would rather get it done sooner rather than later as on holiday week commencing 21st April so it has cast a bit of a cloud over the week . Just hope they don’t find anything untoward . 
Keep me posted about your progress, hope you get an appointment soon

Hi Alexis

i have just been given my appointment and it is also on 24th April and I too am on holiday that week. I am travelling to a hospital over an hour away as my closest one was a 4 week wait.
I am having internal ultrasound and biopsy. I am unsure why some people have ultrasounds and others hysteroscopy?

I am trying not to worry but finding it hard to not think about it and be annoyed with myself for leaving symptoms for so long. I  am 57 been on HRT for 5 years. Anyway will just have to wait and hope all is OK. 
I hope you are doing OK and that you will manage to enjoy some holiday time.

Hi Tina

Good to hear from you and glad you have an appointment now. Hopefully we will both be fine and it will put our minds at rest. I have no idea why some go for ultrasound and some hysteroscopy. Guess it’s down to the hospital. I thought mine would be an ultrasound scan but guess they can take biopsy whilst doing the hysteroscopy? I have decided to stop my HRT as don’t think I really need it, as no major symptoms of menopause. I’ve been on it years so will see what they say next week.

I hope you feel better now you have an appointment and get to enjoy your week off too!

Hi Tina. My appointment has been brought forward to today. Glad to get it done but naturally worried and anxious at the same time. I’ll let you know how it goes . Hope you are doing ok? I did reply to your message but can’t see it on here so perhaps it didn’t post? Xxx

Hi Alexis

i did see your reply thanks. That is good news - I really hope it goes OK today. Will be thinking of you. Let me know how it goes. 
Best wishes

Hi Tina

The hysteroscopy went well, the Dr was lovely and explained that she would do the internal scan of my womb and if the lining was thin as it should be for ladies post menopause, she probably wouldn’t need to do anything else. If it showed any thickening or she could see anything else, they fill the womb with fluid and carry out further investigation/biopsy. 
The internal scan of my womb was painless (I took 2 paracetamol and 2 ibuprofen an hour before). She confirmed womb lining was thin and there was no need to carry out any further investigation. So l clear “womb wise”!  I’m so relieved, I can’t tell you . Let me know how you get on Thursday, sure all will be good! Hope it’s reassured you.

Oh Alexis I am so pleased for you! You must be so relieved. As to painkillers did you take both parcetemol and ibuprofen together an hour before? Do you have to any further tests?
 I am still bleeding quite heavily and am bloated with pain in stomach and pelvis so really am wanting to know what the problem is and hopefully get it resolved. 

Will let you know on Thursday how it goes. Enjoy your evening and the rest of your week off!

Hi Tina

do you take HRT? It could be polyps or fibroids?

Try not to worry, at least you will get answers on Thursday and know what’s going on!

Sending love and positive vibes xxxc

Hi Alexis

good news - still have to wait for biopsy result but Dr said saw nothing suspicious and therefore thinks it’s HRT related! 
Relief!

thats fantastic news! So pleased for you, sure the biopsy will be fine. Did they do the procedure where they fill the womb with fluid then?

I have stopped using my HRT patches. Decided to about a week ago. It’s not that I get major symptoms like hot flashes or anything. Dr at hospital said my gp should have reviewed annually rather than just keep prescribing them!  She said they don’t normally think women aged 60 should be on it.

how long until the biopsy results?
