Hi
Had bleeding and pain last week and have been to hospital for scan and hysteroscopy. They found a polyp but couldn't remove it last week so have to have an operation this week.
I am quite upset about it. Has anyone else had any experience with uterine polyps?
Also had a really bad infection and high temperature after hysteroscopy last week so on antibiotics.
Thanks all xx
-
Vickypk - yes, I've had one and had it removed. It caused bleeding when I shouldn't have so I was investigated like you. I was offered the myosure procedure for removal which you can have with/without ga. I opted for without. It took about 20/30 mins, very little bleeding after and no problems since. I took pain relief before the procedure and it took a little longer to insert the instrument as I have a tilted uterus.The polyp was sent for biopsy and no problems found.
Please don't worry, it's pretty straightforward, google myosure and if that's available to you, go for that.
-
Thank you KiltedCupid for your reply.
Feel a bit better today now the antibiotics have kicked in after the hysteroscopy caused by an infection, in the out patient hospital dept last week.
Bleeding has stopped now and pain better. Thanks will Google myosure technique. Just glad you are okay. Got the op booked at hospital on Thursday xx
-
Hi Vicky
I am sorry you have had a lot to cope with in the last week. Glad the antibiotics are kicking in.
I am sending best wishes for Thursday. Just waiting to go to the hospital in a couple of hours, the bleeding has stopped but the pains haven't so hopefully will have some answers today.
Take care lovely. X

Hi QueenofReds3
Thinking of you and sending love. Let me how you get on. Thanks for your reply. Had a lovely walk this morning and feeling better xx
-
Hi Vicky
Glad you enjoyed your walk, sometimes it helps to get out and take your mind off of things.
QueenofReds - hope everything goes well for you today, be thinking about you.

Hi Dolly
Thanks for your reply. Yes getting back to normal helps. Hope you are okay. Vicky xx

Hi Vicky
I have my hysteroscopy tomorrow. I've waited 2 and a half weeks since my scan which feels like forever. Just hoping it'll be OK.
Dolly xx
-
Hi Dolly. You waited a long time after your scan for the hysteroscopy. They did mine same appointment as the scan last week. Although they couldn't get the polyp out, so op on Thursday.
Hope you are okay. Thinking of you and sending you love. Let me know how you get on
Vicky xx

Hi Vicky
Back from hospital now . Had scan, could not look at womb properly so did a hysteroscopy , found polyp, removed it there and then . Feel sore and sorry for myself now. Have to wait for results of polyp removed. The consultant said it was probably that that caused the bleeding. At least it's over and done with. Big bar of choc is calling😊
Good luck for tomorrow Dolly . Xx
-
You were lucky QueenofReds3, they attempted to remove mine at hysteroscopy but couldn't, much easier to get it done and dusted. Indulge and pamper tonight.
-
Hi QueenofReds3. So glad they got your polyp out there and that's done. Just hope it's ok. I'll be glad when mine is out on Thursday. Seems like polyps are common. Hope you are not too sore. Vicky xx
-
Apparently very common vickypk. Good luck with your removal. Will you have Myosure?
-
Hi KiltedCupid. Thank you. Think it's booked for an operation. I did read about myosure sounds better to have that. I would have gone for that but just want it removed asap now. Vicky xx
-
Yes, absolutely. Not all hospitals have the equipment as it's relatively new. So new in fact, that I even had the sales rep, gowned up watching my procedure! Not only that but the doc was in my class at school! That was quite a morning...
You'll be fine, just take things easy afterwards.
-
Thanks QueenofReds, glad you got it sorted today and enjoy that chocolate. I'll let you both know how I get on tomorrow.
Dolly xx

Apologies Dollydream, I didn't read the thread properly and wish you well you. I'm sure you'll be fine, it's pretty quick and painless.
Good luck.

Hope all fine Dolly for tomorrow

Hi ladies
Hysteroscopy done and the gynae said all seemed fine and no abnormalities seen - will be more relieved to see this in writing with the biopsy results of course but it has helped put my mind at rest. He said that there was a mild thickening of the lining but no polyps and a small fibroid which he wasn't too bothered about. He seems to think that I'm not totally menopausal and this could be a late period (I'm almost 55 but then my mum was a late menopauser) - Hurdity thought this too back in my original post. Had my mirena removed at the same time (I think that was more uncomfortable than the hysteroscopy) and now I'm going to go HRT free if I can - been 3 weeks without oestrogen which felt a bit weird at first, but no hot flushes as yet. I need to see where I am in this process and having been on all sorts of HRT regimes over 4 years which have all given me problems, I think it's time for a break.
Thanks for your support and sending lots of good wishes to Vicky for Thursday. Let us know you get on, my lovely, I will be thinking about you.
Dolly xx

Glad it all seems well dollydream. Our hormones keep us on our toes, that's for sure!

Hi Dollydream
I am pleased that all went well today. Good luck with coming off HRT. Let us know how you get on. Relax and put your feet up now.
Good luck for Thurs Vicky, will be thinking of you.

Hi QueenofReds3. Sorry not been on for a few days. Glad you got the polyp removed and hope results are ok for you x
Hi Dolly. Glad everything went well for you. X
Had my operation today and they removed the polyp. The consultant said everything else looked fine and the polyp looked benign, will let me know once it's been tested in a couple of weeks. So hopefully good news.
Love Vicky xx
-
Hi vickypk
So pleased to hear your op went well - such a relief for you. Fingers crossed that the tests confirm what the consultant thought that all is Ok and it's benign.
:foryou:
Hopefully you will get back to normal life soon :)

Hi Vicky
Really pleased all went well and good news that the doctor thought everything looked OK. Hope you can relax a bit more now.
Dolly x
-
Thank you Hurdity for your reply. So pleased it's over, had a bad couple of weeks with it all. Hopefully just a blip. The consultant said carry on with the HRT. Hope you are fine. Vicky xx
-
Hi Dolly. Thank you. Yes just feel better with it all now. It's all been done within two weeks of the bleeding starting. That's all on the NHS, that's great Hope you are feeling ok Vicky xx
-
Morning Vicky
I am so pleased that your op is over and the consultant has removed the polyp. Fingers crossed all is well, I don't know how long we have to wait for the results? Put your feet up for a couple of days. Relax and hopefully you can get back to normal soon . Take care and keep in touch.
Xx
-
Hi QueenofReds3. Good morning. Thank you. At least all done now. They are writing to me with the results, probably a couple of weeks. Did they bday to you your polyp looked ok? Pain is so much better today and should feel better now as the polyp has gone. Yes thanks keep in touch. Hope you feel fine. Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky, Glad the pain is subsiding.
No the gynae said nothing, just said it will be sent off to check for abnormalities. I am okay, I had cramps for two days and had a light bleed but that has stopped now. I am really tired though but I don't sleep very well and there has been a lot going on , I think I need to have some me time this weekend. You take care now. Xxx
-
Hi QueenofReds3. Hope you feel better. I feel ok today, just had a walk, i live in Dorset opposite the sea, moved from London two years ago. It's a relief for me now I'm pain free, had pressure pain there for months and didn't realise. Hope you can relax a bit. Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky
I just wanted to say you moved to a beautiful part of the world, my birth county😊I am in the next county Hampshire now just outside of Christchurch but still near the sea. It is great to take my dog for walks by the sea, good for ones soul. Even in this lovely wet weather😊
I am so pleased the pain had gone, must have been awful for you.
Enjoy the weekend hun . Xx

Hi QueenofReds3
Thanks for your reply. I live the other side of Christchurch, Southbourne Yes it's a lovely place to live. Love Hengistbury Head.

Hi.
Been feeling fine since i had polyp removed on Thursday. Then this morning cramps and bleeding, bright red blood. Wonder if normal, see how it goes, probably phone GP later or hospital.
Vicky x
-
Hi Vicky
I would phone the doctor as soon as you can. Did you get a leaflet with the numbers to call at hospital? They told me to expect cramps and bleeding for a couple of days. It took four days for the bleeding to stop but I still have cramps and am very itchy down below which I did not have before so I am going to phone doc today. Did you go to Bournemouth hospital for your op? I thought they were very good there.
It maybe that you needed to rest longer as you had a op? Best to check it out though.
I have to say I am fed up with it all today, it seems we are on a constant battle to feel normal. I would love to wake up feeling fresh and happy but I cannot sleep and worry about everything.
Good luck with the docs . Let us know how it goes.

-
Hi QueenofReds3. Thanks for your reply. Yes I did get a number to phone at Bournemouth hospital. I had a d&c as well as polyp, maybe it would bleed with that a bit. Got that itchiness too
I feel like you fed up with it all can't seem to feel back to normal. It's only been a few days since I had it done, so just hope this is normal. Also like you waiting for the results
Hope you feel better.
Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky
I am sure it is normal but always best to get the reassurance. You have had a big op so make sure you are not overdoing it. We are not very good at just doing nothing us girls.
Are you HRT too? I have been on it since May but I am not sure if I want to stay on it anymore . I made a list of symptoms before I went to the GP who gave me HRT. All the physical symptoms have eased but the anxiety, feeling fed up with myself all the time and not sleeping remain. I go to sleep okay but wake up a couple of hours later.
That's why I came on this forum because all the lovely ladies on her are going through it in different ways and you don't feel so alone.

Hi QueenofReds3
It definitely helps to talk about everything, it's helped me a lot not feeling on your own with it. I'm just hoping the cramps and bleeding stops. The thought of going to the hospital i can't face it I'll just give it a bit longer and see how I feel. I've had two hysteroscopies in one week they couldn't get the polyp out the first time then had a general anaesthetic on Thursday. Hopefully it's all due to that.
Yes on HRT patches. Not sure to carry on. I get that sleep thing, exactly like you.
I do get anxiety but running every day helps with that.
Thank you for talking.
Vicky xx
-
Thankfully feeling better today, pain and bleeding eased. I've had two hysteroscopies in the past week, so hopefully it is all normal.
It's all been a nightmare really Vicky x

So glad you are feeling better today vickypk :)

Hi Vicky & QueenofReds
Just catching up on this and have a similar thing going on. I have been bleeding for just over a week. After the hysteroscopy on Tues I thought it was tailing off but Thurs - Sat were awful with bright red bleeding and clots - worse in the morning. Yesterday was a little lighter but today again the horrible morning bleed. I thought it was because I had my mirena removed and others have been telling me about the bleed from hell after removal - but should it go on this long? Maybe it's a combination of the hysteroscopy and the mirena but it doesn't seem right. Apart from that I've had no cramps with the bleeding and feel Ok apart from the lack of sleep - same as you QueenofReds - fall asleep and wake up again which is unusual for me. And of course the anxiety surges. I've been off HRT for a month now.
I would have phoned the GP this morning for an appointment, but have a meeting this morning which I can't miss - typical. Maybe will try this afternoon but like you Vicky, the thought of being poked about again is not a welcome one :-\ It helps that we can share our experiences.
Dolly xx

Hi Vicky
So glad you are feeling a bit better now. You went through a lot that week so be kind to yourself.
Dollydream
I am sorry you have also been bleeding and suffering. Like you I am fed up with being poked about and wake up saying it will be better today but still feel not quite right? I seem to be in a constant state of brain fog. I work and I worry my colleagues notice when I am having one of my doh moments. I don't speak to them about it and to be honest I don't think they would be interested or understand as they are all in their twenties. 😒 Oh I wish to be that age again. Anyway you both look after yourself and keep in touch.

Hi QueenofReds3.
Thanks for your reply.
I had the bleeding and pain start last night again, still got it. It's bright red light bleeding and cramps, I did have a d&c as well. I still haven't phoned the hospital.
Like you I don't feel right at the moment. Feel a bit depressed today, sitting crying earlier. It must be difficult for you at work. I know I haven't really said much to anyone, don't think people are that interested
Hope you feel a bit better xx
-
I just phoned the hospital about pain and bleeding. The nurse said I should have been resting for a week and not to lift anything or do any hoovering, which i have been doing. Fingers crossed it stops soon x

Dollydream - if you had a slightly thickened lining on the Mirena and you are bleeding after removal - this is most likely to be a normal withdrawal bleed that one would expect eg on cyclical HRT (and if they say the other bleeding was probably a late period - which could have caused the lining to thicken). Your progesterone levels will have dropped following the Mirena removal, and the lining is now coming away. However good to be checked out by the doc anyway.

Sorry to hear about this vickypk. Do you have anyone that can look after you so that you can rest properly and allow healing?
Hurdity x
-
Hi Hurdity. Thanks for your reply.
Yes my husband is here, the hospital never said anything about resting after the operation, I was just carrying on the same. I won't lift anything else now I know.
I'll let you know how it goes
Vicky xx
-
Hi Dolly
I just saw your post.
It sounds similar to what I'm going through with the pain and bleeding.
The bleeding is bright red When i spoke to the gynae nurse at the hospital today she seemed to think I'd been doing too much and i have. At the time of the operation no one told me to rest for a week.
Just hope it settles soon. Maybe you have been doing too much.
Hope you are better soon
Vicky xx
-
Hi ladies
I went to the GP this afternoon and she said that it is normal to bleed for up to 2 weeks after a hysteroscopy. She said if it's still going on next week to come back and she'll take a swab. Hurdity you're right about the lining coming away, the doctor said this could be the case too.
Glad to hear you got some answers from the hospital Vicky, hopefully you can rest up now and get better, although it's harder to do nothing sometimes. Take it easy and let us know how you're feeling.
Queen of Reds - totally understand about the youngsters at work - they seem to have a way about them that makes you feel about 100 - their time will come though :-X Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.
Dolly xx
-
Thanks Dolly.
That's good to hear about the hysteroscopy and bleeding for up to two weeks, I've had two in the past two weeks, so it could be that.
It's good keeping in touch and sharing all this. I feel better tonight as i know it is normal and nothing to worry about.
Be in touch soon

Hi all. Just had a text from my GP saying the polyp was benign. . Good news.
Vicky xx

Great news vickypk - so you don't need to worry about that! Hope your bleeding has eased now?
Hurdity x

Thanks Hurdity yes great news. The bleeding and pain have stopped Back on the HRT now
Vicky xx

Brilliant news Vicky. Glad all is well, bleeding has stopped here too :)
Dolly xx

Great news Vicky. Glad all is well. I have stopped bleeding too and the cramps have gone. Still waiting for my results of polyp removal. Hopefully no news is good news😊
Dollydream
Glad all is well with you too.
Have a great weekend the both of you.
QXX
-
Thanks Dolly glad the bleeding has stopped. Let me know when you get your results
Thanks QueenofReds3. Glad you have stopped bleeding too.
I was surprised my GP text with my result saying histology normal of polyp. That was the 8th day after the operation. Was very pleased with that text, didn't know they do it like that. Let me know how you get on
Vicky xx
-
Hi ladies
Letter came through with results and all clear which is great news. Basically as before, it's the HRT causing the lining to thicken - I've tried to find a HRT that suited me but after 4 years now and 2 hysteroscopies, I've given up on it as I can't be going through these investigations again, way too stressful. At least we've had each other to bounce off this time and it's been quite a comfort to share our experiences.
Let us know when you get your results QoR, yes no news is good news. Vicky, I'm going to sign up to these text updates at my doctors, they keep giving me forms to fill in but I always forget, but it's good to get your results super quick.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend my lovelies.
Dolly xx
-
Hi Dolly.
Glad your results were all fine. It's difficult for you taking HRT if you keep getting problems.
I have found it stressful with two hysteroscopies in one week. Never really heard of them before, but soon learn and so painful. I'm back on the HRT patches, didn't really want to stop those.
It has helped me a lot sharing our experiences in the past couple of weeks thanks.
Hope you have a lovely weekend too, just watching Strictly
Vicky xx
-
Really strange, had the all clear from the polyp, today had cramps and bleeding like a period. Feel a bit worried.
-
Morning Vicky
Sorry just seen your post. I am sorry you are having cramps and bleeding again. I see on the leaflet it does say if you have any more bleeding you should consult GP. I don't know what else to say as like you I would be worried. You did have two ops but I would have thought you would not have any problems now. Best to get it checked out for piece of mind though.
I had my results Thursday they came back all clear.
Sending best wishes. Xxx
-
Thanks QueenofReds
Pleased your results are all fine, that's a relief for you
I'm a bit depressed today with the cramping and bleeding. I'll see my GP tomorrow thanks.
Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky just catching up with yr posts on this thread.
Did you stop the hrt patches? If you've just started them again then this could be causing the bleeding x
-
Hi Dotty.
Thanks for your reply
Yes I did stop the patches for about three weeks then put one on last Thursday.
It could be the Hrt starting it again maybe
I know it can't be anything bad, I had two hysterscopies a polyp removed and a d and c and all came back normal.
I don't know why having bleeding again has upset me
Thank you
Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky
When you stop hrt and then start again it's counted as starting from scratch, so you can expect breakthrough bleeding for up to 6 months as your body settles again. It's also the same when you change the dosage of your hrt.
Still might be worth getting it checked.

-
Hi Vicky
Sorry to hear about the bleeding again. Did you manage to get a doctors appointment?
Q of R - glad your results came back clear
Dolly xx
-
Hi Dolly thanks,
I spoke to the hosp gynae nurse today and she said rest until end of the week and then see. I will prob make an appointment with the GP if no better, it don't seem right Feel the same as before i had op done.
Vicky xx
-
So frustrating, as everything was fine for you last week. Let us know how you get on Vicky and rest up like the nurse advised. Try not to stress too much as you've been thoroughly checked twice so most likely a HRT issue I would have thought. Sending a hug.
Dolly xx
-
Thank you for your reply
The bleeding has eased today, so just hope it is okay and stops completely Yes you are right I have had everything checked out and it is probably the HRT. It just feels like I have had a five week period, hopefully it's going now
Vicky xx
-
Hi
Still having problems with bleeding and cramping. Feel out of sorts too. Saw my GP yesterday and on antibiotics now. Been resting all day. Just hope this goes away soon xx
-
Morning Vicky
I am sorry to hear that you are still having issues with cramps and bleeding. Hopefully the antibiotics will sort it all out for you. As has been said previously you have had thorough checks so it might be down to hormonal changes or you are maybe over doing it a little. I have had bleeding in the past that was in between my periods and it was because I was over doing things not long after I gave birth and I was told if I did not stop I would be put into hospital for bed rest!
Be kind to yourself. Let us know how you are getting on.
Xx
-
Hi QueenofReds
I saw my GP this morning, as seeing the bleeding I am finding upsetting as it's like a period and have to wear pads again, and to get reassurance He said it can happen and just take the antibiotics and if no better by middle of next week to have an urgent scan at the hospital.
I know it isn't anything serious as I've had all the checks
Vicky xx
-
Feeling better today and the bleeding is easing up thankfully after 9 days. Still a few more days of antibiotics left, but looks like I have had another infection It's funny it's not been the operation that has been the worst but the two infections I've had in the past five weeks caused by the hysteroscopy and then the operation
Being menopausal for seven years I've found it scary having all that cramping and bleeding
-
Any idea how long spotting carries on after Polyp removal? Still got a little bit some days - now 10 days post surgery?
-
I didn't have a polyp removed but I had a womb biopsy and I had spotting/pains for almost two weeks afterwards.
I was seeing the doctor about something else and mentioned it to her and she didn't seem concerned.
-
Thank you so much for your reply, that is very reassuring. How are you doing as I know you were waiting for results. I am too- the wait is horrible! Hope you are doing ok. xx
-
I'm ok thanks, I finally got the results from the Doctor this morning (3 weeks ) and the biopsy was clear which was great news.
All I need to do now is get the VA back under control and all will be good again.
The waiting is horrendous because I always go down the what if route.
I hope you get your results soon.
-
So pleased for you- now you can look forward to sunny days ahead. xx
-
Hi
Started bleeding and cramping today. I had stopped bleeding ten days ago and then came on again today.
I had the polyp removed on the 24 October.
Vicky xx
-
Oh no Vicky, not again. :( It sounds like it's the HRT causing this as you had a break and re-started. Did you have bleeding and cramps when you first started HRT?
Sending a hug.
Dolly x
-
Oh no Vicky that is so annoying for you. What are you thinking GP again? Hope it all stops soon.x
-
Thank you for your replies
I saw the GP this morning. I've got an appointment to see a consultant tomorrow morning.
Feeling anxious about it all
Vicky xx
-
So sorry you are going through this- sending you lots of hugs and hope everything is ok.xxx

Thank you Machair
The cramps are making me feel sick.
I've got my appointment tomorrow morning but feel like going to hospital tonight xx

Hope it goes well for you Vicky, be thinking about you. Let us know how you get on x

Hi Vicky, So sorry you are going through this Vicky. Good luck for today. Thinking of you. X
Hi Machair
Hope you get your results soon. The wait is awful. Fingers crossed all is well. X
-
Hi Vicky- sending you all my love and best wishes for today. Hope you are ok xxx
Thank you so much QueenofReds - the waiting is horrid. I emailed the secretary and the results are with the Consultant so I should hear soon. Trying not to dwell on it but it is hard.xxx
-
Thank you all for your good wishes
I saw the consultant and she did a scan and said there is a collection of blood there and don't worry. She took some swabs and thinks I might have an infection and will have results in.a day or two.
I'm happy the scan is all clear and I know it could be an infection but I'm still bleeding and cramping a bit. Had all this bleeding since the 24th of October and polyp removal
I suppose I just have to live with the bleeding and wearing pads until it stops
Hope your results are okay Machair. Love to you all
Vicky xx

Hi vickypk
Have only just seen this - sorry to hear things have flared up again. Glad the scan was OK and do hope you are able to rest and that the bleeding stops soon.
Take care

Thanks Hurdiity
It just feels like a period, not had periods for 7 years and seeing all this blood for weeks I've found it quite scary.

Hi Vicky,
So glad you have seen a consultant and they have an idea what the problem is. You must be so relieved. Have a rest and look after yourself - hope you can have a duvet day.xx
-
Thank you Machair
It's good to get it all checked out. I'll just accept I'm bleeding a bit and ignore it. The consultant did say I need oestrogen.
Hope you are okay. Are you waiting for results?
Xx
-
Hi Vicky
So glad you are ok.
Yes I am still waiting for results - almost 3 weeks now but they had them on Friday- just waiting for the consultant to contact me hopefully in the next few days.
xx
-
Hi Machair
That is a long time for you to wait. Hope all is fine. Did you have a polyp removed?
Vicky xx
-
How are you today Vicky?- I hope you are ok.x
Yes I did have a Polyp and also a Hysteroscopy for a 6mm lining as seen on scan which turned out to be too thin to biopsy.
-
Hi Machair
Feeling better in myself thanks. The bleeding has eased up a lot.
You have had similar to me with the polyp. Had two hysterscopies in the past few weeks, one in outpatients and one under GA. They are so painful aren't they.
Hope your results are good. Lovely talking to you thanks xx
-
You too Vicky it is so lovely to share all the worries. I had a GA for my procedure so had no pain so that was a relief, though I was very scared about the surgery even so.I am so sorry you had this done twice that must have been really horrible. You have been so brave- what a relief it is over for you. xx
-
How are you doing Vicky did they find an infection? Hope you are feeling a lot better. My results came back benign so I was relieved to say the least. xx
-
Hi Machair.
So pleased all fine for you and came back benign.
I am fine thanks. Just started bleeding again yesterday. I suppose I just have to accept it as scan came back okay.
Vicky xx
-
Hi Machair
So pleased that your results came back and all is well. You must be so relieved after a long wait.
Hi Vicky
Hope all is okay with you and the bleeding will stop soon. It must be hormone related, bloody hormones! Xx
-
Hi QueenofReds
Hope you are doing okay.
Yes it must be hormone related, I haven't had periods for 7 years. I suppose if I continue bleeding I will get another opinion from a private gynae, even though I've had all tests done,scans etc,I find it scary seeing blood Just back from a run.
Have a nice day.
Lovely to hear from you
Keep in touch. Best wishes
Vicky xx
-
Hi Vicky
Sorry to hear you are still having issues. Hope they will resolve soon you must be so fed up with the bleeding xx
Machair - good to hear your results came back clear xx
QueenofReds - hope you're doing OK xx
-
Hi Dolly
Thank you for your reply. I'll probably see a private menopausal specialist to find out what's going on.
I read in a new thread I think you have put on about low mood and antidepressants
I have tried citalopram in the past for a few days and couldn't take them, side effects in the beginning were bad.
When I see the menopausal specialist I will ask about testosterone, as my mood goes down sometimes
Hope you are okay and get something sorted. Keel in touch
Love Vicky xx
-
Thanks Vicky. Yes, I'm hoping to get myself sorted out and have a better 2020 than 2019 :)
Let us know how things progress with you

Hi vickypk
Sorry to hear about the ongoing bleeding - I do hope it stops soon so you can relax a bit!
Hurdity x

Hi Vicky
How are you today? I hope the bleeding has stopped.
I am okay. I decided mainly because I ran out of my HRT to give myself a break. It has been 3 weeks now and apart from mood swings I am coping. On the HRT I still had most of the symptoms that I had without it such as anxiety, insomnia, the only symptom that eased was aches and pains so I am hoping they don't return with a vengeance.

I hope you too are okay. I read your other post and just wanted to send a hug. I took citalapram a couple of years ago and it takes a few weeks to get into the system. It certainly helped me then.
I hope all of you lovely ladies have a wonderful Christmas.xx

Thanks for the hug Q of R, it means a lot :) Really hoping the AD's work. Not going to start until after Christmas as was told they could make you feel worse before better and so tearful today, don't want to be any worse at Christmas. Know I'm going to be a bawling wreck in front of my family next week and I'm dreading it :'( Hope you have a lovely Christmas xx

Hi Hurdity thank you. just light bleeding still off and on. It's been over two months now. In the four years I have been on HRT never had any bleeding. It's probably all related to the operation. Hope you are fine xx
Hi QueenofReds
I'm not too bad thanks just the light bleeding, not as bad as jt was. That's good you are having a break from HRT and you have felt okay. I'm back on the patches. See how it all goes. Hope you have a nice Christmas xx
Hi Dolly. This is a difficult time for you with Christmas when you aren't feeling great. I'm always glad when its over. My mood goes up and down and the running helps. Some days I think I should try ADs again. Hope you get through Christmas okay xx

Hi
I can't see no end to a this. Feeling quite down about it all now.
The cramps and bleeding are back and stomach bloated. Feeling unwell.
I've had two scans in the past two months and the last one three weeks ago and all looks okay xx

Hi Vicky
I am so sorry you are bleeding again and having cramps. I have no answers for you but I just wanted to send a hug. Is it worth changing your HRT? You also mentioned in a previous post that you were thinking of finding a private consultant, maybe that is what's needed. You must be frustrated and have been through a lot!
Try and rest if you can and I really hope you get some answers soon. I would ring the doctor after Xmas and list everything and say you need some answers.
Wishing you a happy Xmas. Keep in touch.
Xx

Just wondering how you are Vicky? Hope the bleeding has stopped now.
I went for my follow up with the consultant. I still have a slight yellow discharge which concerns him, though it has been intermittent for a while - it could be atrophy as he told me things look dry inside, but he wants to confirm I am not still perimenopausal so have had a full hormone blood panel done. This is because the Polyp I had is mostly seen in women who have not gone through the menopause and I have no atrophy symptoms other than possibly this yellowish discharge. He doesn't want to assume atrophy until he is satisfied all else is really normal.
I am 59 almost 60 and had a late menopause with my last proper bleed a year or so ago.
I also have to have a repeat scan in May to check the lining, and another appointment to see him after that.
Seems to be never ending and I am quite overwhelmed by it all, but it is good he is monitoring the situation. Has anyone else had yellowish spotting associated with atrophy? It is mostly just a yellowish hue on my pants at the end of the day but sometime it is more darkish yellow in a circle.
I am trying Replens to start with on my own accord- has anyone had good results using this and did it stop the discharge?
At least after the next appointment I should know more. He did say though that a hysteroscopy is only valid for 4 months so any further bleeding, especially if the bloods show post menopause, will have to be rechecked presumably with another op depending on the scan findings.
