I got mine back within 2 weeks. I wasn't given much aftercare information either consequently I started using vagifem the night after because she'd said I could resume my treatment. Can I ask how you found the procedure? Was it just a biopsy or did she do a hysteroscopy? I'm interested as I'm following up with my MP, the issue if painful hysteroscopies for some women
Hi Jules, it was a pipelle biopsy I think they call it, I was just ushered into a room with 2 nurses the consultant and a medical student 😳
I can't say it was a pleasant experience, she couldn't get into my cervix, it seemed like ages, she didn't explain any of what she was doing either, she had to try another attempt, I saw the first abandoned pipelle, they look really long 🤢 and then she asked nurse for a different instrument which I googled and it's something to grip the cervix if they can't get in it. I had a horrible shooting pains on my right that felt like my ovary had been stabbed. Lots of bleeding, and when I got home I had the same pain on my right and shooting pains down my upper thigh. I could hardly walk where it was so painful , I was bent over like an old woman !
I thought I would be given a separate appointment for the biopsy because I would have taken pain killers before hand 😞 Really wasn't expecting that.
