Thickened uterus

Hi, I'm new to this.  I have been referred to gynaecologist from scan I had.  I have a thickened uterus of 28mm, had hystoscopy on Tuesday and was told my biopsy results will take 6-8 weeks.  Has anyone else had to wait this long, I'm pulling my hair out after a couple of days x

  • Hello Shellie70, 

    Poor you 6-8 weeks is a long time to have to wait for results!  I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    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. There are some useful tips on this page on how to cope while waiting for important news.

    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,

Iv suffered heavy irregular bleeding for two years and bleed after intercourse finally being taken serious . The bloating pain bleed is all full I’m also booked for full hysterectomy - and to start hrt prior to surgery I’m so scared Iim 42 .  

  • Hi - I have been referred for an hysteroscopy too - had a transvaginal scan that showed a thickened lining too. I have 2 weeks to wait for the hysteroscopy and am anxious too - I know what you mean about the waiting - trying to manage my anxiety too in the meantime.

    Know that you are not alone in all this - I hope your results come through quicker and are positive for you.

    Sending positive thoughts out for you. x

  • Thank you yes my anxiety is all full waiting is the worst - I hope your procedure goes ok and wish u well and positive thoughts also , nice to talk to women who are going through this as my partner doesn’t understand at all / and sometimes feel lonely in sharing xx
