Celebration then ........

Any plans today?

Glad it all went well.
Im due to have my first hysteroscopy for abnormal post menopausal bleeding in the next couple of weeks,  am Im terrified. I find smears difficult and painful and avoided having one for > 10 years. The vaginal scan was very uncomfortable and Im recently using vaginal oestrogen in addition to my utrogeston and oestrogel.

Ive pleaded for a GA as well. I just know it would be a disaster otherwise and i wouldnt be able to tolerate it.  I saw a gyneacologist this week and shes reluctantly agreed to put me on the list.

Had they discussed a mirena coil with you beforehand? .. my fear is if it goes in it has to come out again at some point.

I’m glad you’re pushing for GA. I would every time. I don’t have problems with smears or scans but I’d rather be oblivious to a hysteroscopy.

The Mirena was discussed beforehand. I had asked if it could be fitted at the same time as the rest of the procedure, and it was no problem. It’s licensed for 4 years for HRT use. Mine is due to be removed, and hopefully a new one inserted, in November 2027.

So far so good. It’s 2 weeks tomorrow, and apart from 3 days of minor cramps straight after the op, and some minimal cramps for the last couple of days (which have now gone, and don’t even need pain killers) all is good. Have had no further bleeding as yet.

Reporting back on hysteroscopy today: they applied local anaesthetic, but then getting camera in deep enough was painful...so was given option of gas and air; that made me nearly pass out! So she decided to halt procedure, and they will do it under GA in a week or so. Am so relieved. She did spot a polyp with the camera, so that will be removed when I go in along with doing biopsy and inserting the Mirena.
Have to say, cannot fault the doc (was relieved  she was female) and nurse team, they were so good.
So, hopefully it will all work out under GA!

Hope yours goes well. I opted for GA, as I’d had a hysteroscopy before under LA and then had to go back for the polypectomy. The polyp hadn’t shown up on the scan.

This time around it looked like a polyp but they didn’t do a polypectomy so maybe it was just unevenness. Still glad I had GA though

Keep us all posted when you have yours, won’t you?

Good to hear it all went well. Mine is booked for 4th Dec, hoping to have local anaesthetic .
Let us know how you get on with the Mirena
Rest well x

AnMa, have you had the GA yet? How did it all go?

Still all good here. Have had a little bit of cramping and a little spotting 3 weeks after the procedure, but other than that, just occasional cramping.

Hi Flossie fiddler - the GA is on 20th Dec. Am still bleeding and cramping from the 'failed' procedure last Monday. Hope things settle for you soon.

In hindsight I'm actually glad it didn't work (the hysteroscopy), its given me time to think - have decided I don't want the Mirena. Going to talk to GP about Evorel Conti patches. After my experience last week, just can't bear the idea of anything being up there or any amount of time!

Will keep you posted
