FIRSTLY Hello to all,
I Had my hysteroscopy today. They said they took a biopsy and now the wait begins? Posting 6week wait!!
Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining I've been extremely lucky up until now. I had my transvinal scan and bloods within one week. Then due to bulky womb, thick lining and swollen ovary with growth on it was seen by the consultant within another week. Then this week I got go yjave the hysteroscopy so I feel very grateful as it's been a tick box each week. I have a strong history of cancer in the family. My periods are unbearable cramping, clotting, longer periods Then spotting in-between and other symptoms I had been telling myself it was the menopause!! I blame everything on that. I'm 45 just turned with 3 kids and just praying I might be lucky. I'm such a rubbish impatient waiter too. I'll need to start busing myself for the wait I think. It's so hard isn't it??
Sorry long post over! Just needed to get it out!
Hi Georgina123456789. I think it pays to persistent and pester them for an earlier date. Allowing 3 weeks for histology, the 20th October is still a long time away. Say you're getting extremely anxious and not sleeping, you never know it might work!
Hugs, Barb xx

Thank you Barb, I'm actually in such a bad way right now it's unreal. I bled for 10 day now my period has come. Im in so much pain and clotting all the time. Can t sleep. Clots are huge . As disgusting as this sounds I stood up earlier and he clot that fell to the floor was ridiculous. I took a picture to document it as they say shouldn't be bigger than a ten p piece! Mine are 4 x that size regularly. I'm obviously praying it's not cancer and even hoping if it's not they may dllow me a hysterectomy as its in my family snd I can't stand the pain I get anymore ! Sorry got the moan and thank you for replying and your kind words

Hi Georgina if it's as bad as that it might be an idea to visit A&E to get yourself checked out.
