Transvaginal scan

Him welcome to the community. You might want to also join the Diagnosed at a young age group so u can get support from ppl of a similar age to yourself

Heya Caris, 

There are quite a few of us in our 30s here in the group, and you're almost there! Lol. The other group mentioned is pretty much dead, and they can't help with specific cancer questions as they don't necessarily have the same one you do. But if you want a chat with folks not drawing their pensions, you'll def find them over there. Lol

As for your womb lining, when you bleed during a period, or randomly, that is sections of your endometrial lining breaking away and flushing themselves out. These don't break away in nice neat pieces, and can leave behind jagged edges. 

Seeing them in a scan is unusual, because they like it scheduled not during a period. So at the end of your period, the whole of the lining should be gone just about, leaving it nice and smooth. Then as it grows back over the month, it grows evenly so again seems smooth. 

So a thick and jagged lining often means that you aren't getting rid of the whole of your lining each time you're bleeding, and only parts of it are coming away. 

So next step will probably be a hysteroscopy so they can get a camera in to have a better look and see what's going on. 

Hope that helps!

Thank you for that I do feel a little better now. With the amount I've been bleeding though wouldn't it mean I have thin lining? So confused with it all, I've got the gp ringing today so hopefully he will be able to put my paranoid mind at rest. X

Thanks Lass for correcting my out of date info

Heya, 

It should do, yes. However there are a few conditions where the switch gets stuck, as an easy way of explaining it, so you just keep growing lining.

I bled non stop, and quite heavily at times, from March to August, and had a really thick lining. Though I'm afraid I don't remember now how thick it was. 

The most common cause of this is something called hyperplasia. It's dead easy to fix with the Mirena Coil only. So nothing to be worried about yet, see what the doctor says and decides the next steps are! Hopefully you won't have long to wait!
