I have been lurking on the discussions and trying to find some information from the other posts but have decided to be brave and add a post since all you ladies seem so supportive and knowledgeable. I am 46 and have had the Mirena coil in now for over 16 years. Since ever I had this had issues of lots of clots but GP didn't seem concerned. I went onto HRT about one year ago, patches alongside my coil, and since going on this at least once every few weeks have a huge bleed. I flagged this to the GP and again not too concerned but the Practise Nurse was doing a check up with me for something completely unrelated and when I mentioned it to her, she raised this with the GP again. Long story short, went for ultrasound and they said they needed also to do the transvaginal scan on the 15th June. When they finished they said it would take 2-3 weeks for results but Doctor phoned next day and said some concern over thickness especially given I have had coil so long, and that I was being referred on an urgent appointment and would be seen in two weeks. No appointment came and I called last week to GP and they chased this up. Apparently although its been put through as urgent, it is likely to still be some weeks before I can be seen. Luckily, I have private healthcare through my job so I asked GP should I go down this route and they said yes. Appointment now booked for 18th but I was asked to get my scan results to take with me which GP have given me. Lining thickness is 30mm and now I'm panicking as of course, when they called on the 16th, I googled as had no idea why this would be a concern. Realistically, I cannot do anything until I see the consultant and have the hysteroscopy but have a sick feeling in my stomach that its not good news and don't want to talk to anyone in the family about it as they will only worry and I don't want that. Sorry for the long post but any advice would be welcome.
