Well I got two appointments in the post a couple of days after my second visit to the GP asking for a referral. One for today (scan) and the other for a month's time (gynae consultation).
Have just come back from the ultrasound scan at local community hospital. First she did a normal one but because my uterus is tilted she couldn't see it all properly and wanted to look inside. The she asked if she could do a transvaginal one - never had one of these before, but it was fine (ie the experience was fine).
It turns out that the lining is not thickened (even though I am on HRT and if I was on a monthly cycle I would be due to start taking it now) but she could see a small "irregularity" in the womb lining

which she showed me on the scan - about 8 mm which she said was very small. She thought it could be a small fibroid or polyp (or nothing at all?) but said it didn't look like anything nasty and I shouldn't worry!
Anyway the results will be sent to the gynae.
I've had more spotting (after
![Wink ;)](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/wink.gif)
) but she she said she couldn't see the cervix nor the ectropion so still couldn't say what was causing the spotting though.
Another thing she said which was interesting - that for women on HRT they accept as normal a lining up to 1 cm (ie 10 mm) which is thicker than others have said - but I can see it would be different on and off HRT. Off HRT any undue thickening could be problematic.
So I'm going to have to wait until July to find out - that hopefully none of this (the cervical ectropion and the irregularity) is anything to worry about and hopefully I can continue with HRT.
Anyone else experienced this after a scan (irregularity thing on the womb)?
