I'm 51 and 2 years post menopausal and I had what was exactly like a mini period in a day. Discharge in the morning, tiny amount of blood when I wiped at lunchtime, same but darker in the evening and the slight feeling in your tummy of when you are about to start a period. I wa scared but knew I had to get checked out as that's what I would tell anyone else! I was fast tracked - it's standard with any kind of PM bleed. Started with the ultrasound scan and then the vaginal one, she showed me it first, it's only like a pen, don't panic. She asked me to push down on one side so I knew she had seen something which was scary. The following week I went to the hospital for a hysteroscopy. Before I had that the senior gyne nurse spoke to me about the scan. I had a slightly thickened lining, which was fine, and two very small cysts on one side and one on the other. I was surprised because I'd obviously been asking Dr Google and thought that was unusual for someone two years PM. She said they weren't worried as the fluid looked clear but would take a biopsy anyway. Also standard. Anyway before the camera goes up they pump fluid into you and it hurt like a *** even with local. Sorry but trying to be honest! But then it was done and the two weeks of *** myself were over. It also so gave me the chance for a good chat with the nurse. I asked about hrt and she says it depends on each woman. I'd worried about hormone levels in the future and osteoporosis and she said unless you have family history you should be ok. You've had hormones in your body for decades so don't always need any more she explained. Made sense but I didn't know! My wonderful but male doctor had said if you don't need hrt don't take it as you're only delaying symptoms, which was right, but he'd nutshelled it and the nurse answered all my subsequent questions. So after all my waffle, don't worry, get checked out though, hope my experience helps anyone else who has had a similar thing!
