Hello. Thank you for letting me visit the forum. I would love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience. I just had a biopsy and all the possibilities are running through my head.
I am 45 and have had very regular periods since the birth of my last child and have had no big indications of peri menopause.
However I missed one period in April and then in May started bleeding heavily (for 16 days now). The bleeding is very consistent day and night, like a drip that collects.
ultrasound showed 24mm thick endometrial stripe with cystic change.
Then the biopsy Tuesday and I am supposed to hear Monday.
it would just be comforting to even hear from others who had similar symptoms
thank you!
