  • Just reading your mssg, I'm the same I'm 50 had last period in Oct 2018.

    Last year I had a bleed was sent for scan all normal and now today 1yr to the date same thing just awaiting return phone call from doctor to see where I go 

  • Hello

    Really scared at the moment had a small bleed last week 18 months after the menopause

    Made myself go to the Drs this morning who gave me an internal she said she could see an inflamed area at the neck of my womb so has referred me said I should get a letter late this week early next week

    What will happen at the appointment can't cope with this I'm not eating sleeping or able to concentrate on work 

     

  • I am googling rate at the minute will try to stop but its hard x

  • Hello ladies,

    I have also had spotting ️ It started on the 18th June and lasted for 3 days, it was only real noticeable when I wiped myself. Seen my doctor on the 24th by which time it had stopped, she took a look and said she couldn't see any blood etc but would get me a fast track 2 week appointment because I had spotting in 2015 which turned out to be nothing.

    I am 60 years old and have not had a period for 7 or 8 years. Anyway a week later on the 27th I bled for about 4 hours not heavy but enough to scare me. So I phoned 111 and after answering the questions they made an appointment for me at A&E. it was only after that my daughter said why did they ask if you had had a vaccine in the last 4 weeks? 
    what we have read is interesting, I had a trans vaginal scan last Tuesday morning and the lady who carried it out said that they had seen a lot more post menopausal women in the last few months, I told her about the vaccine and she said she would speak to her colleagues about it.

    when she finished she looked up and said that everything looked good to her and the doctor would look at the images that afternoon.

    Thursday I had a call to say could I come in to see the doctor, they gave me the option of a few dates over a 2 week period but I went for the first date to get it over and done with, the lady on the phone just said it's normal procedure when you have had a scan but I am now worried sick .

    I have had no more bleeding at all but I have a lot of spare time because I am 7 weeks in with a broken humerus.

  • Hi i have severe health aniexy also dr keeps find in blood in urine test was given co amoxiclav and blood tests which showing inflamation but dont know where still haveing blood in urine after antibiotics dr said he will send my details to urologist to see f he wants to see me. but i thought i would be refererd anyway

    sorry spelling not good.

  • Hi Catjam,

    I was like you and googling everything I could and got myself into a right state before my ultrasound. I was the last appointment of the day with the consultant after the scan and it was too late to have the hysteroscopy so I had to go back a week later. I was offered to have it done day surgery with a general anaesthetic but I opted to have it done in the clinic. It's over really quickly and honestly just a bit uncomfortable. I had 2 nurses either side who were lovely at distracting me. Try not to tense, easier said than done I know, but it definitely will help.

    Took 4 weeks to get my results but finally got them today and all normal. I do think it could be linked to the vaccine as my bleeding was 10 weeks after the jab.
    hope all goes well for you and there's plenty of support here if you need it xx

  • Forgot to say. if someone hasn't already mentioned it, take some ibuprofen an hour before you go and that will help as well xx

  • Hi well ... just about managed to cope had ultrasound and  internal scan which showed womb thickness of 7mm so had to have a womb biopsy got to wait upto 6 weeks for results still very worried xx

  • Sorry not replyed sooner but im going out of my mind also been refered to urologist but hey had no appoitments so had to ring them 22nd to be told someone will look at what my dr as sent them but this could take 3 weeks and then i should get an appointment this as already been going on for a month now ive had no more spotting but the last two days noticed a bit of blood on tissue after bowl movement . so scared lost a stone in weight as im haveing to force my self to eat small amounts to keep me going just carnt eat when im this worried.

    how are you getting on did you have your scan .

  • Hi, I hope you don't mind my jumping in here but just read your post and very similar to me.  13 months after what I thought was my last period I had a really heavy one out of the blue.  Not normal for me as my periods had always been light.  Coincidentally it was 2 weeks after my second AZ Covid jab and it's been suggested this may be a cause????.  GP referred me on an urgent 2 week referral for ultrasound.  Waited 6 weeks for it due to Covid delays.  Had it today (vaginal).  Radiographer said nothing stood out but lining of uterus was thickened.  He didn't seem too concerned.  Still waiting to see Gynaecologist.  Don't know if they will do a hysteroscapy but im really worried about it.  I've had 3 kids but all c sections so having this done at an outpatient clinic may be pretty uncomfortable. What a wimp!  I've had no other bleeding or spotting, just the once which lasted a week.  Im thinking it could have been one last go before full menopause????  W x

  • Hi ladies, 

    sorry to read all your posts about having these worrying post menopausal bleeds.  I have been through similar experience a few months ago (6 weeks after my first AZ jab).  I too had thickening of endometrium (7mm) and was referred for hysteroscopy/biopsy.  All came back clear thankfully but it was an awfully worrying time, and would seem very much connected with having the Covid jab, as so many women are reporting exactly same experiences.  If you think your 'bleeds' could be connected to the jab too, then you should report it on the 'yellow card reporting system' to Astra Zeneca.  Occurrences of post menopausal bleeding needs listing as a possible side effect!  

    Take care all of you.  Xx

  • I'm hearing  about this  bleeding after the AZ jab quote a bit.  I was really shocked when this was suggested to me and I've reported it on the yellow card system at the time.  It really is baffling.  It is a worrying time as you say and it looks like we will have to go through the quite invasive  tests to check it all out anyway.  I've been told we can't presume the AZ was the cause and it just could be coincidental.  I'm trying to stay positive.  Covid delays and IT issues in the bookings department at my local hospital certainly haven't helped.   Good luck to anyone waiting x
