Hi,

Just signed up today,  I am a 50 year old on HRT,  presumed post menopaisal,  Cant be confirmed as I had yhe contraceptive implant for years which stopped menstruation and was told hormone tests were ineffective,

Anyways, about 6 months ago I started experiencing spotting every day, which gradually got heavier wuth painful cramping.  I finally went to the doctor who referred me for a scan, which showed my womb lining was 6.5mm, so I was referred for a biopsy.  I have waited nearly 8 weeks for an appointment, even though I was told it was urgent,  Finally got a date for biopsy on 14/05,

The question I have, is I suddenly stopped blrrding completely a couple of days ago and find this strange as I had kinda got used to bleeding all the time. Has anyone else experienced a period of prolonged bleeding stopping suddenly and is this a good sign?

Thanks for reading

  • Hi Wendy, 

    Welcome to the womb group, you have definitely come to the right place for support. I have received fantastic support and chatted to some lovely ladies in similar positions. 

    I like yourself had a thickened linings, I have a pre diagnosis after 2 biopsies but I am still under investigation and awaiting final results, it’s been a hard time. 

    I had bleeding constantly for years before my full investigations happened. For a long time they couldn’t figure it out (I am only early 30’s so the diagnosis was not something they suspected or expected) but yes it did suddenly stop sometimes at times. It would last for a long time and I’d have small breaks. 

    I really hope your biopsy goes as well as can be and you get some answers soon. I’ve found the waiting the worst bit. 

    Sending love

    Frankie.
