Hello ladies, lm in need of some advice please
Im 39 years old and l've always had regular periods, usually a 28day cycle give or take a day or 2. In August l missed a period, very unusual for me and has never happened before. As we are trying for a baby we got our hopes up, all pregnancy tests were negative though. We booked in for a private scan, a transvaginal ultrasound and l was told my endometrial lining was very thick at 20mm (either as result of a late period or pregnancy), l was told it wasn't a cause for concern as it was an echogenic thickened endometrium with no internal vascularity seen also no cysts, fibroids etc were seen. I waited again for a week and still no positive pregnancy test. I started bleeding on my period due date the month after, so l missed a complete cycle and had a period 2 months apart. It's a strange period, 4 days of spotting followed by 10days of a medium type bleed and then followed by a currently ongoing day 14 of a very heavy blood clot bleed. So in total l have now been bleeding for around 4weeks. I have spoken to my GP and they have said it is most likely because l have missed a cycle so my uterine lining is very thick and now is all shedding. They would like me to wait and see and for it to stop naturally. My bloods have all come back as normal and l am not perimenopausal.
My question is please can someone advise please as l am really worried now
1) if there was any cancer present for example even cervical cancer would this have been detected in the transvaginal ultrasound?
2) can a missed period cause such a long and heavy blood clot period?
Please respond with any information and thank you x
