Endometrial thickening

Hi Ladies,

 

I had a recent scan as I was having awful bleeding. I had been having a hrt implant for around 3/4 years now and had been taking progesterone two monthly. However I'd been having what I thought were natural bleeds so hadn't been taking my progesterone as often as it makes me feel really rubbish. Anyway, my scan results are back and my endometrial thickening is 13mm. My consultant is worried about this due to my age, I am 33, therefore I have to have a biopsy, I'm really worried and am really just looking for some reassurance. Thank you xx

  • Hello Jen1987, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy appointment. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi jen1987

    I've just come across your post while having a little search on this site. I was just wondering how you got on? I'm the same age as you & have been bleeding for over 3 months.

  • Thank you for your reply Sue.

    Sorry to read that you have been diagnosed. Pleased to hear things are moving quick for you though. Where did they find the cancer? 

    How long is your wait to hear from your Dr? Do you know what the next step will be? 

    I'm waiting to get my first 2 week appt - do you what they might do at mu first one? 

    Please keep me posted on your journey.
