:'( so pleased I found this forum helped me so much over the last week. Just when I thought my periods where done I started with a brown bitty light show.it lasted a week but hardly anything really I panic at the slightest thing but have worked myself into a right state. I'm having a scan Friday morning but I'm thinking the worst. At least I did get myself to the Drs and also had a smear last week. I feel sore as if I'm ovulating which I think could be nerves. Will let you know how I get on. 😥😥

:welcomemm:
Did your GP do the smear, our Nurses do them here. Maybe it's a 'nick' in the skin which is causing the brownish discharge but your GP is correct - a scan is essential. Unlikely to be anything 'wrong' and gives you a base line to work from.
Have a browse round. Make notes! Try not to worry too much ;)

Hi Bambam45 and welcome to MM - this is not unusual but you are right to get it checked for peace of mind.
Keep us posted. DG x

Thank you both will do. No the nurse did it I visited the dr and made the appointment for 2 days later for the smear I think I freaked when I saw the letter in the post this morning It's been the longest 2 weeks. Just pleased I've got support xx

Who is going to the Hospital with you? You could ring the Dept and explain that you are anxious and ask to explain the procedure?

My friend is going with me she went when I had a mammogram a couple of years ago turned out to be breast cysts. We celebrated with a huge slice of cake each lol x

:P call me stupid I went for my scan bladder full and took some calms so was in the zone handed my letter over and I'm a month out with my appointment it's not till the last Friday in May. The receptionist did try to squeeze me in but they where to busy. Thankfully they have room for me on Wednesday evening. Have decided I'm going to put it out of my mind and just be thankful we have such a good health service that looks after us. Thank you for your messages ;)xxxxx

Well I've had my scan. I ended up with an internal scan all is clear except for a 10cm fluid filled cyst on my right ovary. I'm being referred back to my dr then see what's going to happen. It all depends how much pain I'm in it's been painful all day my mind was racing. Apparently it's unrelated to the bleed I had that part was clear. Anyway I'm so relieved that all is going to be ok. Thank you for all of your support it's helped me so much. Light st the end of the tunnel xx

Not stupid but menopausal - we have a tread about 'doing silly things' …….. may I giggle ;)
That's 2-night you've had the scan then :-\ - oh, have read the latest update - that's the next hurdle out of the way. Let us know how you get on!
-
Yes had the scan last night I had a lot of pain yesterday on my right side so thought something must be there will book Drs appointment tomorrow probs be referred back to hospital about removal will let you know how I get on :-* xx

Ok I want to get off now I've had enough of this scary ride. I rang my doctor this morning and asked if she the hospital had been intouch as promised they had. I was told last night that they would rescan in 6 weeks to see how the cyst is going she said it was a clear fluid filled cyst. My dr wanted me to have a blood test to rule anything out so I went along this morning and have had it done now I feel I'm back to square one and have a very long weekend ahead of me. Worrying away. My husband has told me I will be fine he says if his cows get a cyst ( he's a dairy farmer ) they use hormones to shrink the cyst ( the milk doesn't go into the tank )... So he thinks that's what will happen to me lol ;D ;D ;D. Well so here I am sitting on the stairs panic panic panic. The sonographer said apart from the cyst I'm clear and the cyst is unrelated to the bleed I had 1 mth ago it was found by chance. Sorry to go on and on. Xx

Hello Bambam45 and welcome to the forum.
I'm sorry you are so worried.
There are many ladies here who have had similar issues and I believe that cysts are very common and often disappear on their own.
I hope you feel better soon and feel free to go on and on to your heart's content lol. We MM ladies understand how you feel so you are not alone.
Take care.
K.

Thank you again yes my husband is normally right lol. Going to get a get a shower and get on with the day. Lots to do instead of sitting here worrying xx

Well after 3 missed calls from the doctor I plucked up the courage and rang her. She said Alls clear they had done the blood test for cervical cancer. I have to have a follow up scan to see if the cyst has shrunk if not may need draining. I'm so relieved thank you for all of your messages. I hope I can help someone to know that things do work out. Xxx
-
Hopefully the cyst will shrink! Let us know.

Yes will do thank you xxx

Yes it's all gone strange feeling after so many weeks of worry. I'm very thankful. Thank you xx

Great news, I have also been plagued by cysts for yrs and they do come and go, and when my Dr sees them always runs blood tests which I also panic about until I get the results, so seems to go with this meno lark, glad you are all fine x
