Fast Track For Hysteroscopy - so worried about the procedure and possible results. Has anyone had this done?

I had an ultrasound and TVS yesterday as I have been have sporadic bleeding for the past 2 years whilst I was on HRT with a Mirena coil fitted. My periods were very heavy prior to starting HRT and having the coil and they stopped for a few months after I started. Then I began having very light bleeding but for around 2 weeks at a time and this happened some months but not others. I was advised to stop HRT at the end of February this year but continued the light bleeds until April then nothing till July. Another very light bleed for 2 weeks. Hence the scan. They rang today and said my endometrial lining was 8.3mm but nothing else on scan other than a small fibroid.  They are fast tracking me for a hysteroscopy and biopsy and I'm terrified. I'm terrified of the procedures as they sound awful but also of the possible results. I have told my husband but no one else. I dont have any other symptoms other than the sporadic light bleeding which I suppose is a good sign but I have ADHD and one of my symptoms is massive overthinking and catastrophising so I am struggling. 

  • Hello VicCazLaw

    Its  understandable to feel anxious and very easy to think the worst case. .

    The hysteroscopy isnt as bad as you may imagine nor the biopsy.

    I had both done and was fine.

    But do explain to your nurse/ team how anxious you feel they will put you at ease

    And soon you will know the results which hopefully will be cancer free.

    And a plan to follow to help address your health issues 

    You can also ring and speak to Cruk and or Macmillian nurses who are very kind and supportive.

    You got this sending Female Power well done looking after your health 

    Best wishes RB
