Good evening everyone,

I’m currently freaking out and am looking for some support.
For the past few months I’ve been overlapping my Evorel Conti patches ( I  know don’t….). Anyway about 4 weeks ago I had very sore breasts and a brown discharge/ intermittent v. Light blood loss for about 2 weeks and then the breast pain settled too.
I went to the GP and was referred for an ultrasound. Had this on Tuesday and GP has just called. Results came back that everything looked okay apart from womb lining being 7mm. I’ve been told to stop my HRT with immediate effect and I’ve been referred to gynaecology for an urgent appointment. I should hear within 2/3 weeks and results same after.
I know that overlapping my patches was foolish but I’m hoping that someone can offer me some reassurance from their own experience. I’m really hoping that the thickening is just that and nothing too sinister
Thank you x

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear this. I haven't had this experience or used patches but as I understand it a thickened womb lining alone is not in itself anything sinister. A thickened womb lining can increase the risk of womb cancer but a thickened lining does not mean you have cancer. Try not to worry. Soon you will know more, once you have had your appointment x
