Hello, I’m in a similar boat and saw your post as am awake at 1.12am having a panic attack and not able to sleep. I started bleeding last Friday after nearly 15 months of no periods. Today my ultrasound showed a thickness of 4.8 but no fibroids or polyps. I saw the gynaecologist afterwards who attempted to do a hystroscopy to do a biopsy but couldn’t due to previous ablation I’d had 10 years ago so I’m now waiting for a date to have it done under general anaesthetic. I feel drained and scared. Google is not a good place to be and I wish I could stop but I’m trying to find any reassurance I can. Good luck with your tests.

Hi, oh bless you, so sorry to read this. I was awake at that time too, feeling sick thinking about how my last smear hurt so much. Maybe I should phone them and say how worried I am?! 

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the ablation? I had a colposcopy about 10 years ago, and they did the laser treatment bit.

Do you know how long you will be waiting? I really hope you aren't waiting long. The wait is just awful. And I agree, google is not a good idea, and yet we all do it :/ trying to find some answers. Take good care x

I'm still awaiting results. 

Functioning, but it's continually on my mind. It's very mentally draining. 

I hope you get an appointment soon. Xxxx

Hello again, an ablation was a procedure I had done that I believe burns away the lining and helps stop or reduce very heavy periods. It did work really well for me and although I did have periods still they were manageable over the last 10 years. It does make it difficult for them to now take a biopsy though as it’s all a bit mangled and my gynaecologist yesterday said it was getting too much for me to handle with just a previous paracetamol before my appointment hence being referred for a general anaesthetic. I’m also freaked out by the words cancer on the nhs referral. It’s horrible isn’t it xx
