Had 1 today, n was in severe pain all the way through, they say it should be painless, yet I'd got two nurses fanning me with bedpans as I'd gone pure white n was sweating because of the pain I was in, I'm dreading my results but not because of their outcome, because I'm absolutely terrified of having a procedure like that done again, my doctor said I'd had aneasetic, but I felt that much pain surely it should of been stopped as that's what you quote ? I'd rather them operate to remove anything they find, than to go through that again. Am I the only 1 who feels this bad ?

I had one on Monday awake, the consultant wasn’t that happy I was not having a general . The booking clerk mistakenly gave me the option and as it was sooner I had a local . It was absolute agony, I actually screamed out loud a few times ! I have had three babies and it was worse than that . The bit where he took the biospy was awful plus I was aware not to move to much as I didn’t want a perforation to happen .

worrying about my results now as the consultant adviced me there and then to have the coil as my uterus was so thick !! 

I have just had hysterectopy on 6th Jan, polyp removed and D/C as womb lining thickened. It's been 2 weeks and still nothing. Is no news good news?

thanks Nikke

Hi All,

I found this thread online .

I am 43 yrs old the very produd mother of a 21,18 and 16 year old and grateful wife to my ever suffering husaband of nearly 25 years.

I have always had very regular periods, until the last 6 months where I have been bleeding for FOUR MONTHS continiously.  

Following scans and appointments my consultant saw that my endometrium lining is very thick and I have a few polps

Last Tuesday I had the recommended endometiral abalation, poly removal and biopsies.  Fortunatley I had them all under general and I am now home recovering for the next week.

Again I have been told that I will need to wait for 10 days for the results of the biopsies but the waiting is nerve racking.  The options if it its cancer is to have a hysterectomy as our family is complete however the waiting is killing me.

There is a history of colon cancer in my mothers side which I guess is making me even more nervous..

Just wanted to share my thoughts.   I wish all well and would be great to speak to ladies in similiar situations as no matter how supportive friends and family are they just dont get it  X

Hi I am also a mother to 3 aged 19,18 and 14 ..I am 43 always had heavy periods and have endometriosis but recently have suffered such bad bleeding i cannot literally leave the loo! Went to docs who gave me progesterone tablets which slowed it down and she referred me for scan.Scan showed a polyp and fibriod 5 months later I eventually got an appointment to see a consultant at hospital who referred me for a biopsy and camera.I had that done today and the consultant said he would try and fit a mirena coil too. After looking he said the front of my womb was very lumpy so he decided against the coil and after seeing the lady stood next to me facial expressions it terrified me! Obviously now i just have to wait which is the worst.I do not have a very supportive partner he is not very sympathetic at all! All very scary! Good luck to all you ladies going through the same thing x

Hello I'm at the beginning stages of this just wondering how your results were ? I had scan and says thickening of womb and polyp I have a biopsy booked for Tuesday and really scared 

Hey Kerry how did you get on? I'm similar to yourself 37 year old mam of 3 and have a 18mm polyp seen on ultrasound. Booked in 17th of Aug for removal of the polyp and D&C under general anaesthetic. Worried sick 

Hello I had the procedure today it was painless slight discomfort but fine , ended up no polyp there but thickening of womb she took a biopsy but said everything looked fine , so waiting on results now but fingers crossed biopsy comes back ok ! She said everything looked fine , and I'm bleeding now and slight pain , but she said that would happen , I know it's worrying, I've made my self sick with worry last few weeks , so try not to worry and I hope this helps a little ! As I googled constantly and that made me worry more ,  slightly feel more settled, if thats makes sense , just my fingers crossed for results now x

Thanks Kerry glad you are feeling a bit better I kept thinking that I will feel better too once I have the procedure as they may know more themselves what they are looking at even before the histology comes back. I keep thinking I'm sure I will feel more reassured when I come around from the anaesthetic and he can say what he thinks it is 

The not knowing is the worse , I'm 37 4 kids , I have had irregular bleeding heavy bleeding, but what prompted me to go to doctors was I starred to bleed after intercourse and slight lower back tummy pain , it's horrible time for husband too , hope you are getting lots of surport but try not to worry , I had a bad day yesterday worrying about the results, worrying just makes things seem 100 times worse ! Thinking of you and let me know how you get on , I know it's just chat but it helps x

It's defo helps talking to someone who knows what you are going through. I'm not really talking too much to my husband about it coz I don't want him to know I am worried. I just said to him I'm sure it's just a polyp as women my age very rarely get endometrial cancer! Fingers crossed that's all it is. My periods are just really heavy. I did have bleeding after intercourse whilst I was breast feeding and I was having strange discharge too but it hasn't happened again since my periods came back. I had my tubes removed during my section 11 months ago too so was hoping the heavy periods were related to that as it's common after that procedure. I also have just recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and my gp said before I had the ultrasound that it's prob what's causing the heavy periods but then the gynae consultant said the hypo thyroid is prob just a red herring and he feels the heavy periods are down to the polyp! All these possibilities just playing around in my mind 

hi not been on here for a while but my periods continued to be heavy lasting  3/4 weeks or more for ever flooding through my clothing was put on medication for it which did help but didnt want to contnue with medication for ever because i couldnt use any contraception because ive had hormonal breast cancer, so had a hysteroscopy done one without anesthetic which when i tell you you could probably hear my screams from the other side of the world i have never experianced pain like it, but because they never got enough fluid off had to be done again under genreral anesthetic all come back normal and nothing to worry about, i had read about endometrial ablation and so i asked my consultant for one one consultant said yes no problem but another consultant all but refused  said i had to many trips to hospital and anesthetic i suppose to put my body through such stress again, i refused to back down had the endometial abaltion done a year ago in november this year and im happy to say ive not had a bleed since last july now but im abit older than some of you ladies on here,  now i just have to concentrate on getting my 5yrs remission out of the way. good look to all you ladies on here. helen
