That's good news!

Must be something to do with cutting down HRT because a few years ago I cut patches in half to cut down as I was feeling so good and then same thing happened. Except for gp instead of recognising it as a possible period (which they decided it was) or hormone imbalance went straight for the worrying stuff! Thanks....!! Once the gynae saw scans he wasn't too worried but did the procedure just to be on the safe side, was fine as knocked out!

Just been for the hysteroscopy and I have 2 uterine polyps one is 1.5cm and the other is about 2-3mm. The gynaecologist said they looked smooth and didn't think they would be "nasty", but was surprised he hadn't seen the larger one eight months ago. He provisionally booked me in for a D&C next Wednesday if not 2nd August. Couldn't get the pre assessment done today so hoping all results will be back on time.
Not going on Internet to read anything about polyps, apart from any posts of experiences on this site.
Managing to keep my anxiety reasonably under control and pleased I can have op so quick. Flutterby

Annemaria - glad it was all OK
Flutterby - hope all goes well with your procedure - and try not to worry in the meantime!

Flutterby, your doctor wouldn't have said they were smooth and  not nasty looking if he indeed saw something nasty.
Although, until it's all said and done, naturally we worry about it as I'm doing right now as well. I won't find out what my biopsy outcome is until Aug.2.
Thinking of you next Wednesday.

Thanks Annemaria and Hurdity, just off to be swabbed etc at pre assessment check Flutterby x

Had op today removed the large and small polyps and took biopsies, just need to wait for results now. He did say that he thought they were probably benign but obviously the histologist will have to confirm this. The consultant said he would leave the decision on whether to stay on HRT with me getting advice from Dr Currie. Flutterby x

Music to our ears when you get the "looks like nothing ominous" when you wake up. I'm in the same situation whether I will be able to continue HRT. I'm certainly not excited about my withdrawal journey off hrt. 
Take care Flutter...

Hi Flutter,
My results came back negative yesterday thank God! Strange twist in my story though... I just learned from my GYN that my lining wasn't thick to begin with, in fact, I had the spotting from lining atrophy. She said my lining was 1mm.  I asked her how this happened and she said it was mismeasured during my ultrasound. She said she has seen this happen several times.
It's been a rough 6 weeks on account of a mismeasurement. Although at least I do know all is well down there.
Wishing you well also,
Annemaria

Hi Annemaria
Great news. Bit concerning that mismeasurement can be a problem when ultrasounds are carried out. Hope you went out to celebrate, now you can put it all behind you.

Good news just had letter to say there were no abnormal cells in the polyp.  Flutterby

This does sound very odd! Looking back at your original post you said you had been reducing HRT so it is a bit strange that bleeding from endometrial atrophy occurred after you had reduced your dose, and also that you felt pms symptoms - bleeding due to atrophy should cause no other obvious pms symptoms to my knowledge. However it's good that all is well - and that you can carry on with HRT if that's what you want to do?

Flutter,
Very happy to hear you received good news. Life goes on as before. 

Hurdity,
Yes, I have the same thoughts as well. She said there was less than 1mm measurement of the lining. The spotting I had over the weeks was not even enough to fill a quarter of a mini pad. I would assume I should have had a serious flow to expel the thick lining.
GYN said I could continue HRT, but I'm off them and wait and see what happens. 
I'm going to bring up the period symptoms when I see her next.
