Hiall

Its been a bit of whirlwind lately with a lot going on and plenty of stress, i couldn't come back on here because the slightest thing sent me into a spiral of panic and terror.

In may 23 went back on Utrogeston 100mg x 2 and Estradiol 2 metered dose for 14 days and Vagirux, 1 everyday initially then as needed. I changed to Evorel 50 in April 24, had heavy period so came off HRT all together.

I had my urgent appointment, i had another tiny polyp that was removed, that came back normal and the scan she said was ok. I mentioned the blood test that i had through a nutritionist which appeared to show that i had ovulated and hence the period, but everyone has said this cannot happen, my Oestrogen was a bit higher too. My hot flushes stopped aswell around xmas time.

I had a private scan before this appointment however, as i was unsure how long i would have to wait, they couldn't see my left ovary, but said there was right paraovarian cyst, cervical and uterine fibroids, and right small ovary. The consultant at the hospital did not say this.

I have since had a private appointment with a gyne who looked at the scan and just said the fibroids were tiny and that my oestrogen was a bit high 524 (postmenopause<505), so had a blood test which im waiting for the results.

My cortisol was high on the nutritionist private blood test, but i get really stressed and i had got really fat this last year or 2 and i have an under active thyroid, T4 ok T3 a little low.

I guess i just dont understand after having menopause symptoms, hot flushes etc, why they stopped and seemed to have a period.

Its all so anxiety provoking !

Whoooaaa. .......... you have a lot going on.

Does the Private Nutritionist sell products? 

You seem to be chasing various appts. and getting different reports.  Did the Gynae look at the scan done B4 the appt.?  I would be asking for a scan report from the Consultant which when paying, should be sent directly to the patient, copy to GP.

Hormonal blood tests can be reliably un-reliable.  Cortisol surges can cause huge anxiety surges, I would wake in the early hours suddenly, absoltuyel terrified  .  I may have said, my GP prescribed Propranolol which helped.

Any unexplained bleeding if 1 has been period free for 2+ years should be investigated.   Which symptom would U like to ease?

I did get a report from the Private transvaginal scan, i gave this to my GP and to the private Gnye. i was investigated on the 2 week wait but then nothing further aside from the polyp result. i did contact the NHS consultant afterwards and sent her the scan results too and she has kept an open appointment for me should i need to go back.

The private Gyne did not know how long the blood test would take to come back, so it's agonising waiting.
i guess my biggest worry is why my Oestrogen and other female hormones were up, like i had ovulated and the bleed did feel like a period. Ive tried to stop looking online because the anxiety just gets unbearable.
My Gp is checking the cortisol again, i have blood test this week. 
My nuritionist has advised what supplements i need to get the cortisol and uric acid down, (that was highish too), so i dont get them from her but from the supplier she recommends.

The latter - cortisol and uric acid results - need 2B discussed with your GP and Gynae to double check that U R using necessary supplements. 

My periods waxed and waned for several years: regular but at last pain free then disappeared for months  .  During 2002 I realised that they had stopped.

Hi I am sure there is nothing serious going down and well done on getting the polyp removed did the private gynae do that at the time of consultation in the rooms or did you have to be admitted?

[Greenfields]

The polyp was on my cervix and was removed by the consultant on the NHS 2 week appointment, its the 3rd time ive had it removed presuming its the same one!

GP has seen my blood test results, hence my blood test regarding the cortisol on Wednesday.
