Hi Hurdity
My GP insisted on a scan (she doesn’t like post menopausal women to take HRT sequentially) and the TV scan showed a lining of 7mm. My GP immediately sent a 2 Week Wait referral (even though I’d had no unscheduled bleeding). Interestingly enough, I checked the CCG referral guidelines and they stated that endometrial thickness of 10mm or less with no unscheduled bleeding did not require referral (unless the patient was anxious and wanted reassurance). I was expecting the Gynae Dept to reject the referral because it did not meet their referral criteria but that didn’t happen. I recently had a hysteroscopy and biopsies - everything is absolutely fine. The only upside to the whole debacle is that the consultant offered to fit a Mirena when I had the hysteroscopy so (hopefully) no more monthly bleeds x
That's interesting that the CCG guidelines are the same as per my sonographer - so will be interesting to see what my GP says. Glad all was OK for you - and also interesting that your GP sent you for a scan even with no symptoms which is what should happen for all of us.
I was also offered a Mirena by the consultant in 2013 when I had had spotting (after intimacy) and was sent for a hysteroscopy and biopsy (legs in stirrups!) but I declined....hope you do well on yours/
