Hello,
I’m sorry to disturb you all when I haven’t yet received a diagnosis. I’m just freaking out & am worried sick.
I’m 5 yrs into menopause at age 42, started HRT 14 months ago & had a 12cm benign ovarian cyst removed 12 months ago, at which point my endometrial lining was 3mm.
I’ve had spotting intermittently for a few months, then a big 4 week bleed, which prompted a visit to the Dr & a pelvic ultrasound, which revealed my lining to be 22mm!
I’m awaiting my referral to gynaecologist but I’m scared as I’m assuming that I’ll need a biopsy but I know that I won’t be able to handle the pain of it as I can’t cope with smears as I have PTSD from a SA.
How can my lining go from 3mm to 22mm in 12 months!?! Has anyone had any similar experiences of this please?
I’m so sorry to disturb you all when you are fighting your own battles & I do not yet have a diagnosis, I just don’t know who to turn to as I do not want to worry my siblings or friends at this point.
Thank you for listening, sending prayers to you all
