Biopsy wait

Hi all. I'm new to this so wanted to say hello and hopefully take some advice from your experiences. 

I had a hysteroscopy and biopsy 3 weeks ago and still waiting on results. Have contacted my surgeons secretary who has told me the results are there but they won't tell me over the phone and I have to wait for a letter. I've had varying answers as to whether the letter has been dictated or not yet and the wait as I'm sure you all know is absolute agony, especially this close to Christmas. I was told the lining of my womb was worryingly thick and of course I am thinking the worst. Just wondered if anyone could advise?

Thank you all in advance, very grateful to hear your stories and hope you are all well x

  • People are saying me too, I would have heard by now if it was bad news, I know it's my negative head, but some people kn here have waited 8 weeks then had bad news, I rang hospital the friday before xmas and secretary said results were not back yet, I had hysteroscopy on 6th december, so it's been a long wait, I think xmas/ new year has just ballsed waiting times coz some offices shut etc

  • My head is in a very negative place too at the moment, please don't think you're alone! I think the same as you. I had mine 26th November. I definitely think we were unfortunate with the timing with Christmas.

    I had my hysteroscopy done without anesthetic too so the whole thing has been a trauma. They tried to convince me to have a marina coil fitted but I have had one in the past and had it removed as it caused me no end of problems so didn't want that again!

    Please let me know when you hear. I'm always here for a chat or a rant and I understand. Xx

  • They said to me about marina coil too, but I've also tried it, I'd been on the pill for years and was advised due to my age  to swap to coil, that was in 2012, I had awfull problems with it and demanded after 6 weeks to take it out, I decided to be sterilised as I was almost 40 at that time and have 4 children, they agreed to it.

    It's only been since about a year ago that my periods have become very heavy, the gp blamed it on perimenopause but after 6 months I went bk and demanded further tests, 

    What I'm confused about is radiologist measured a thickening, it measured 10mm, I then saw consultant who said it's probably a polyp and booked me in for hysteroscopy, 

    During hysteroscopy he said it wasnt a polyp but needed to take biopsy

    I asked what it was and he just ignored me

     

  • It's so confusing isn't it. I was told I may have a polyp too but when they did the hysteroscopy, she said it wasn't and the lining of my womb was that thick, it was probably that that showed up on my scan and made them think it was a polyp.

    I'm 37 so not near menopause yet and not on the pill. I really hope you get some answers today. Please let me know. Thinking of you x

  • I will do, let's hope we both hear something soon

  • Ive just had a call from the secretary in response to my voicemail yesterday. I should have a letter next week as the results are with the consultant now. Whether that means they haven't been looked at before now I'm not sure. 

  • Fingers crossed you hear soon, secretary told me yesterday shes printed them out and in consultants tray as urgent, (as I've waited do long) but hes not back in office till next week

  • You couldn't make it up could you. Hope we both hear next week. Its been great talking to you about it, its been really helpful. Thank you 

  • How are you feeling? Have you heard anything?

    I rang today and had another version of what is going on. Apparently the main secretary is on sick leave and the person covering is on leave. They said they would speak to the consultant on Monday, but said she hasn't even looked at my results yet! I don't know what to think now!
