Morning ladies,
So I went to see my gp again yesterday, my gp from when I was a child, really weird because I haven't seen him for ages, he has reassured my mum in the past about her bleeding issues, anyway I went in there like an emotional wreak and told him my fears, anyway he sat there and explained everything went through my scan results and showed me them, only conclusion on the scan was about a7 mm fibroid, no referral or anything, anyway he explained how's a fibroid can cause a thickened endometrium and cause heavy bleeding, he said there was nothing on the scan that alarmed him, it just precautionary to send for extra test, he said as for fast track, if they didn't I would be waiting for Christmas and with my anxiety isn't a good idea, anyway I told him I thought I had cancer and he said there nothing on the scan no mass etc, and he's words were, I don't think you have cancer, he also went on to say he thinks I dont have a problem down there, but the problem is in my head, he was really funny and reassuring, anyway I came out the crying with relief and feeling loads better, obviously I'm still a it anxious but not like I was, I've also read that endometrial thickness can still be classed as normal up to16 mm in the second half of your cycle, and mine was 14 mm on day 18 of my cycle, so that reassuring as well, also in perimenopause it's very common for women to have a thickened endometrium, the other thing that reassuring is I do not have any risk factors of ec, so hopefully I will be ok, anyway I so sorry for being so annoying,
But it make me feel better when I chat to others who have or have been through a similar situation.
Thank
Herbie xxxx
