Hi everyone!
Welcome to my new blog! (My first ever blog I should say!!)
My name is Megan, I'm 23 and I'm started this blog mostly to help myself deal with what's going on right now. I've always loved writing so figured this would be a good way to help!
My story began at the beginning of this year when I saw my GP several times because of irregular bleeding, bleeding between cycles, spotting and bleeding after sex.
I was told time and time again it was due to my pill (I was on the mini pill) and sent on my way.
After a few months I put my foot down and said enough is enough! My gut tells me something is wrong and it's not my pill.
The GP sets up an abdo and internal ultrasound. This showed I have a significantly thick endometrium (about 2cm), a polyp on my left ovary and my uterus just doesn't look that great. I also have PCOS.
So I'm then urgently referred to a gynaecologist and within 2 weeks I have my first appointment (21st June). I arrive and find im the youngest there (no surprise!). I have a chat with the gynaecologist and he says I need a colposcopy. So I go into the other room, get on the bed and he gets cracking. He discovers a deep cervical polyp so tells me I need a hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic as he can't remove it there. So I get an appointment for 29th June.
Everything goes smoothly and when I come round I'm told they removed the polyp, took biopsy's and said my uterus is vascular, cystic, deviated to the left and looks abnormal throughout. She was also suspicious of atypical Hyperplasia. Oh and I also need an MRI. Cue me to burst into tears!! I knew something would happen.
I then get a call on the morning of 2nd July saying I can come for my MRI that afternoon. So off I go. I have the cannula put in so they can inject me with some dye. All goes well and I'm sent away again.
Today is the 12th July and I'm still waiting for my histology biopsy results. My consultant has my MRI results but not the histology.
It is a waiting game and I HATE being in limbo. I'm distracted, anxious, scared, worried, emotional and my head is a mess!
It's been 13 days since my hysteroscopy and I just want to know the results.
This site has been very helpful and I just wanted to thank those who have replied to my posts!
I will keep this blog updated regularly so I can share my journey with you.
