Hello…and a bit worried. ( sorry)

Hello all. I’m sorry I’ve not got back in sooner but the website kept saying to update my password….. oh well I’m in now. Lol. 
Our drs don’t have the E-consult facility so it was rather a long wait to speak to a receptionist followed by a very long day awaiting a dr’s return phone call. 
Anyway to cut a long story short I’ve an ultrasound scan his Saturday. I guess they don’t tell you anything at the time though? 
How long does one typically wait for an interpretation of the scan? 
I still feel rather a fraud on here though among such lovely ladies sounding so kind. 
As this discharge has only happened twice….. and then completely gone…. Possibly it could be caused by vag atrophy?

However your friendly listening to me does help as I don’t like to say much to my husband. 
Thank you so much. 

Hi Gilly,

I had an ultrasound scan before I had the hysteroscopy. She told me she could see a fibroid. (I was told later that fibroids shrink after the menopause and are not concerning!) I had the hysteroscopy  and  he told me he couldn't spot anything and decided to do a biopsy because there was a lot of fluid. I am quite relieved he did. I had to wait a couple of weeks for the results of the biopsy. So, you might know part of the answer right away!!xxxxx

Hi Gilly, the goal of the ultrasound is to see if there’s any concerns that indicated a need for a hysteroscopy. At my ultrasound (which is both external and internal), a lovely nurse told me that she could see that my uterus lining was thicker than it should be post menopause. It was 8mm when it should have been no more than 4mm. That in itself meant a hysteroscopy was needed. My hospital books ultrasound and hysteroscopy consultations at the same time, and then cancels the latter if not needed, so I already had a hysteroscopy clinic appointment booked for the following week. If there’s any concerns at your ultrasound, you’ll likely then get referred for a hysteroscopy consultation at which the consultant or nurse practitioner will explain the concerns and do the hysteroscopy unless you request to have it done under general anaesthetic. For what it’s worth, my spotting had stopped by the time I had my ultrasound, so that in itself is unfortunately inconclusive.

Hiya

So glad you are getting somewhere.  Please don't feel that you are a fraud. These conditions need to be checked out and if it turns out its nothing then that is something to celebrate.  I believe everything happens for a reason and you had a bleed so that is a reason to get checked out. The other ladies answered is the same as my experience.  Please do let us know how it goes. Wishing you luck and health.

Hi Gilly, just wondered how you got in at your ultrasound yesterday?

Hi again. 

Sorry, I’m having problems getting into this site. Anyway I’m here now.

The scan started off on my stomach but I was told that I hadn’t drunk enough water ( I had) so then the intervaginal one. 
I asked if she would talk me through it but she very firmly said “No”. 
So the results will be related to my dr on Wednesday now. 
I do wonder if it’s a fungal thing as I also now have conjunctivitis and burning mouth too.  
Thank you so much for thinking of me though as I can’t discuss this with my husband. He gets his latest on his prostate cancer this coming Wednesday too so he wouldn’t cope with my worrying about myself as well. ( hopefully mine will be needless worry) x 

Hi Gilly

Fingers crossed that it turns out to be nothing for you  I am so sorry that the lady doing your scan was so abrupt- that is so unnecessary.  It takes no extra effort to be caring - I was told that she could see an area of thickening, which might have been caused by a polyp.  I had had polyps before, so I was still not too concerned.  
it is tough to go through all this on your own.  If you cannot talk to your hubby at the moment, can you chat to a close friend?   Waiting for results is the worst part - take care x

Hi Gilly, I’m sorry too that you didn’t get a sympathetic and helpful nurse. I hadn’t had enough to drink so she gave me some water and then waited! Mine also talked me through it all without me having to ask. It’s disappointing that we don’t all get looked after considerately and helpfully. Thinking of you as you wait for the results,

Hi Gilly, just thought of you and wondered if you’d got your results?

Hello there. 
Again, struggling to get on this site. I use my iPad and reset my password so many times. 
sorry I didn’t post sooner. 
I was told by the receptionist at dr that ultrasound looked normal but dr wanted me to still see gynaecologist, which I did today. 
It seems I have a bit of fluid in my uterus (?) and I’m to have a hysteroscopy and biopsy. He thought this was nothing. 
It bothers me though that there is some fluid in there…..how could that be? 
It was very difficult to talk to ask him with masks on and then of course my glasses kept steaming up. Doh! 
He said I’d have bled all the time if it was cancerous. 
what sort of cancer would cause fluid build up? Apparently my scan doesn’t show a thickening of the womb lining.
