Hi. I so so scared! I’m 47 and been in perimenopause past 4 years or so, started with bleeds every 5 months before a 4 day bleed. Not heavy at all. , then 3 months no bleed, then bled, then again 6 months no bleed, then I bed, then hadn’t bled for over a year so thinking might be in post menopause. Past 8 months though I’ve had bled 3 monthly intervals , which seemed heavier. I have a 54mm fibroid, just had a internal scan done to check fibroid, and they were concerned as the lining of my womb is thick , around 10.9mm thick, so my doctor has just referred me to a one stop gynae clinic to get a biopsy done and I’m so so scared. I’ve heard a lot about how much it hurts, and I suffer bad anxiety I know I’m going to be shaking and crying with worry on the way to hospital, I’m waiting for this two week urgent referral at the moment, making me worry.! Is this procedure really so so painful than giving birth? I’m so bad with any type of tummy and womb cramps. I fear pain and worried I’ll pass out or be sick.
