Hi All,
I have been glued to the form for weeks now and have read some terrible things about hysteroscopies. I have also read some positive things too to be fair
I have an urgent gynae appointment on Saturday 22nd to investigate a thickened endometrium of 4.8mm and continuous spotting on a changed regime to continuous ( 4 pumps of estrogel and 100mg utrogestan vaginally) i was told to take painkillers before the appointment
and they obviously intend to carry out a hysteroscopy even before speaking to me!
The spotting started about 3 months after I had changed from sequi to cont continued for weeks every day. Doctor advised me to up the utrogestan to 200mg every night but the spotting continued until I stopped the utrogestan, had a bleed went back to sequi and now blissfully nothing.
I really believe the spotting is due to hormones and nothing sinister ( this happened when I tried to change to conti a few years ago), and so do not want to subject myself to a hysteroscpy. But the 4.8mm endometrium is now a red flag according to the new guidelines and i do not know what to do.
i am terrified of having this done - with or without GA . I also do not believe it to be necessary.
Has anyone actually refused one? What was the reaction of the doctor/team? Am I being silly?
I am really sorry, but this is really bothering me and I would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer.
Thank you
Kate
