Hi
not sure I want advice, just shoulders to cry on really as I kind of guessed this would happen.
I've been in and out of hospital over the past three months with bleeding, polyps, then a polyp removal, then bleeding recurring with new polyp. We've tried everything, mirena, mirena+noresthisterone, reduced the oestrogen part of HRT - not that I was absorbing it anyway but the 50mcg implant seems to have worked best so far.
I had my third polyp removed in June and they've just found another one. Obgyn said no, sorry, this can't go on. Well, I could have another polyp removed and then stop HRT for good but I'm not sure I can cope with that.
They want to get this done before christmas and I'm scared to death tbh. I don't want to have it, but it looks like I'll have recurring polyps for as long as I'm on HRT, and off HRT I don't have a great quality of life. Although, to be honest, at the moment it's making a difference, but only a small one, but it would at least give me some flexibility over my estrogen dose if I didn't have to keep worrying about bleeding.
i just feel so scared now, I know this isn't an unusual operation of course, but a lot can go wrong and the easiest thing in the world would be to just give up on HRT as the polyps seem to be caused by it (that's what they told me the last time after they analysed everything).
My gp, obgyn and meno specialist all tell me I've been incredibly unlucky, which is just...great, thanks.
Can I just sit here on this thread and weep quietly in the corner?
