I’m so pleased for you x

does anyone know if all clears are always given by letter?

Thank you, am sure we will both be fine, but it's the waiting isn't it?

As for the pain, we'll seeing it was a male doctor, if only they had to go through it!! 

I’m having the hysteroscopy under GA but worry that as I'm asleep it will be longer recovery - will they be more ‘careless’ if you know what i mean. Cant win i dont think on this one.  As its the hospital booking the tests They arent giving me  any more results until they gather the mri, ca125 and biopsy results all together and our area have quite long queues for tests and results.

i would have prob passed out anyway if they had tried when i was awake. 

I wasn't asked what I wanted, local or general. The doc just told me it would be painful, and they could knock me out. It was painful, and lasted up to 2 minutes. I actually swore, quietly. The nurse was lovely and very reassuring, she stood beside me while it was being done, and I had my hands over my face, I was shaking. 

I also had a transvagunal ultrasound, the wamd type thing. But they never seen any cysts, then they done the biopsy. I heard the doc say he wanted to get a good size sample. Prob because I was sore he wanted to make sure he never stopped just because of my pain.

I keep thinking what if I have cancer, it has to happen to someone, it happens all the time. I'm a out to move home with my husband, we've just bought a home and get the keys on Monday, so I want a happy new home, not bad news at the start of our new beginning 

The specialist was busy and the lady doctor i saw said she would put me in for GA. She looked serious, and didnt even try the hysteroscopy, post menopause, no kids, and having problems with smear - she came to quick decision which i was quite relieved over.    I dont know how you managed, i just made it through the smear!   It is like the stage worse than the dentist when things hurt there.  

I too am petrified.  The genie is out of the box so to speak and they have put the idea in my head now. they seem to think the endometrial risk is very slim but they have found cysts and fibroids and unknowns, maybe age or maybe there since i first went to doctor as teenager, who knows as they never did uktrasound in these past 30 years.   I think age is on your side, i feel it is on mine still.  It is good that they actually check out problems now, although stressful, rather than sending us away like they used to.  Still hard to cope with though and even the receptionist i talked to about my appointment had been through it so probably most of us !

You mention cysts etc, when I went to my own doc with symptoms she did a swab and said I had a wee polyp, but it wasn't mentioned at the hospital, so it must have been really insignificant.

I'm 50, and also had irregular bleeding, but going through the menopause. But I had 2 periods within 2 weeks and then spotting. Although I do have the more a coil in and it might be dien to get cjnged, that's sometimes a sign it's due. I've always had period problems though.

I originally went to doc with the lower back and abdominal pain, and a couple times pain when intimate, and between that and that I was bleeding she referred me. The hospital doc said she'd put post menopausal bleeding but I'm not post meno, still going through it. I told him I'd went because of the pains, and peeing a lot, so that's maybe when he decided to do biopsy. So many women get this done, and every one of them must worry, but who can blame us. The longer we wait I think the harder it is to stay positive, just gets more nerve wracking eh? x

I am expecting my results this week. I am absolutely dreading the outcome as I am almost certain it's cancer. I originally went to my GP with some issues as I thought I was going through the menopause. They took a blood test and that test couldn't decipher that as I was on the pill (which I have in the meantime come off after 30 odd years!). But my bloods showed very high proteins which she said could indicate I am fighting an infection of some sort.  I have no bleeding between periods. But I have shooting almost electrical pelvic pains and sex is uncomfortable/painful. My last smear was earlier this year that was clear. My transvaginal scans showed something, had the hysteroscopy where she removed two tiny polyps and punch biopsy. I had my hysteroscopy on 6 September and MRI exactly a week after. I am 47 and no children. I've had lower back pain for ages but I thought this was just something I had to put up with since falling on my coccyx at a water park in Florida. I can't seem to empty my bladder properly. I had this problem back in 2011 when I went to hospital for scan and he said it didn't show anything other than I couldn't empty my bladder.  I feel sick with nerves everytime that postman delivers something.  Good luck everyone - thinking of you all xxx

You do have a lot going on, I hope it is all OK, we can add everything up and really scare ourselves. You've got a lot going on, so please let us know when you get your results.

My 4 weeks is up in Thursday, so hopefully I'll hear before then xxx
