Hello all, about four weeks ago I was feeling a little dry, and put some replens in. it didn't feel very comfortable while I was inserting the applicator and when I withdrew it there was a little blood. There was no more after that initial spot, but I thought I would get it checked out as I've never been one to ignore things and hope for the best.
My lovely lady GP had a look and said there was a little area of trauma but that she couldn't see anything else, and suggested we leave it for a couple of weeks to see if it healed up. I went back after the two weeks having not experienced any further bleeding and the GP said it had all healed and that everything looked fine. To dot the i's and cross the t's, she suggested I have a vaginal scan to check the thickness of the womb lining which I agreed to. I've never been on HRT, and am lucky enough not to have had too many problems with the menopause, I've had some hot flushes for several years but never anything bad enough for me to have HRT.
Well I had that today, haven't had any other bleeding at all, my ovaries are fine, but the scan showed that the lining was 5.5mm thick and so she suggested that I should have an express referral to be seen by a gynaecologist within two weeks, when they might decide to do a biopsy, presumably after looking at the scan in more detail?
She did say that I should try not to worry as it's such a small amount and that if it was something more significant it would be quite a lot higher. But of course I am worrying! There's no history of anything in my family and the fact that I only had that little bit of blood for a few minutes and have had trouble free periods, pregnancy and menopause is giving me hope that this is likely to be nothing to worry about, but any reassurances that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
