No problem about the questions!

I’d say about 1.5 years? I can’t remember and I’m really annoyed with myself about that!

And do you take the Utrogestan every night ?

Try not to worry about the scan. I had bleeding three times and scans and biopsy showed up no concerns and no reasons for the bleeding. Just one of those things unfortunately. X

Nas, I think they thought the oestrogen was causing the problems. I was so relieved to avoid a hysterectomy that I was happy to accept a Mirena, having always turned them down in the past, which was a mistake: my perimenopause would have been more bearable if I hadn't been flooding every 18-21 days!

Grheliz, I am in a similar situation.

Utrogestan doesn’t do a lot for me either. However because I’ve had breast cancer, they prefer me to say on it.

Are polyps caused by oestrogen? I had a hysteroscopy last April and nothing was found. Bleeding has persisted, so after  much pushing, Im having another womb scan in a weeks time,  to check the uterine lining etc

I can’t come off oestrogen either, else life is hell. Did they ever offer you a different type of progesterone, or just the coil?

PinkWindsor try not to worry - I had bleeding after 2 years on HRT and well after my last period. I got fixed up with a Mirena in November and I've been fine since (touches wood hastily).

It could be a polyp, or a thickened endometrium both of which can be easily fixed. I know it's easy to say and I worried myself sick at the time, but try not to get too stressed out. Hopefully the scan will provide answers.

All clear!! No reason for the bleed. The radiologist said that ovaries can have a last ‘hooray’ 😮‍💨

Thank you so much for everyone’s support! ☺️

That's great news and especially heartwarming to hear that you were told the results immediately and didn't have to wait any longer.  :foryou:

I think the radiologist could sense my anxiety as my mum had ovarian cancer. But so thank you to have experiences like this really so I can pass on any knowledge to my daughter or anyone else!

Well I didn’t realise that I’m still under Gynae and need to have an internal scan! I’m sitting here feeling that I’m due to have a heavy period as I’ve got all the symptoms! That would be two in a row now and I don’t understand why!

Which scan did you have last time? Usually you have the external one and the internal one at the same time. It's a shame you have to go back to have it done. Hope that the period arrives soon so you are more comfy. You can have the internal scan during a bleed by the way if it does come just before your appointment - this always happened to me!

Thank you Taz2,

I had the external one almost a month ago now but it was all fine. So I didn’t expect to have another appointment for the internal one  :-\

Strangely, I had all the symptoms of a period.. cramps, painful boobs, tearful etc but no period!
