  Hello good ladies!

I've posted here before and here I am again. I so appreciate your comments.
The point: I've had 2 negative endo biopsies over 2 years because of spotting.
Third spotting occurred recently so off I go for a hysterscopy w/ d & c

I know there is at least 1 benign polyp plus a couple of fibroids.
The uterine lining has progressively thickened over 2 yrs from .4 to .8 to 1 cm. But again, 2 benign endo biopsies.

I have never been able to use HRT or hormone therapy at all for reasons I won't bore you with.
No biological children.

I'm nervous because:

1. I'm worried that after the procedure I may have bleeding for up to 2 weeks (I just heard this and was really upset as I need to travel, attend to responsibilities, etc.)

2. I'm really just scared out of my mind of what the d + c will show after being biopsied. We all know post-meno spotting can be cancer.

The dr thinks its maybe either the polyp or hormonal imbalances periodically causing it. I have tremendous health anxiety because of having to care for very VERY ill family members at a young age.

Any fear-crushing thoughts that can help me get through this thing calmly... it's in a couple of days and each night I'm more nervous, getting less sleep.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi there Raisinette I too am due to go for another biopsy and camera and DnC ! My 4th. I'm soo fed up as they're really painful and then there's the wait to c if it's endometrial C. I said I wanted sedation and therefore I'm having general anaesthetic.  I've to go in on 2nd Feb. I too am v anxious and feel other things shldve bn looked into 1st. Ie my hormone levels as im thinking wrongly or rightly my  current hrt treatment may be not right and causing this? I feel this is all unnecessary 😪 I'm on 50mg of evorel conti and 100mg tablet of urtogestan 1 every day. The bleeding is worrying but as my 1st biopsies have come back clear n only the 3rd one was inconclusive as didn't have enough tissue, this is a bit much

Hey HotScotGirl

Thanks for your reply! Ugh, I feel for you. The endometrial biopsies are excruciating and I hope you can get twilight anesthesia? I have not been able to where I am in the states because few providers do it and the few who do in my area were so booked up in advance that I would have had a very long wait.

Tomorrow I will have the D and C with a hysterscopy and I will be KNOCKED OUT. This will be done in a hospital setting thankfully but I know many have been awake for this procedure.

As I am taking no HRT I'm scared whatever spotting I've had is something illness related. I think HRT is so specific to each woman's body that there is not a "standard" measure for each person. And that's really hard. There has not been sufficient research into dosage, side effects, etc. and it is very difficult to figure out except by trial and error, which you are already doing. You have my compassion!

I wish instead of all this testing for you they could play around with your dosages?
For me I have tried but am unable to use HRT.

Tomorrow is my D and C/hysterscopy and then as you say, the miserable wait for results, plus I'm told after the procedure is bleeding. Fun! 

And we all have so many other responsibilities to attend to and have to just soldier our way through. Ugh!
I wish you the best!
