Hi
Had my biopsy on Tuesday after three weeks of spotting, and whilst there the doc also removed a fibroid. She was very upbeat about the scan results and thinks it will be treatable and non malignant.
The bleeding after the procedure was very light and everything seemed clear for a day or so. However, today the dark brown spotting has started up again and is more plentiful than it was before. Ok, maybe that's expected, but just now I passed what looked like tissue, about the size of the tip of your little finger. It didn't seem to be a clot, but I've never seen anything like it before. And this was followed by more very unpleasant, sticky brown goo. Sorry, this is gross.
I feel ok in myself - not feverish, no heavy bleeding (I don't even need to wear a pad), but should I be worried about this? I did look it up online and tissue discharge isn't unheard of, but it isn't usual either. It's always a flippin' friday night when you're on your own that this sort of thing happens....

Don't worry, I had this too and it's just,as you say,old bits of tissue,I had a lot of "gunk" (for want of a better word) afterwards,how did they remove the fibroid? They can just grow back again btw

This may sound bonkers but I don't know how she removed it. I went into the room for a biopsy and whilst she was rummaging around in there she said she could see a fibroid and just removed it within seconds for me. I've seen online that you get water pumped into you and all that kind of stuff - that definitely didn't happen.
I'm assuming that was a hysteroscopy but there was no water and I'm not even sure she had a long stick with a camera. She said the fibroid was obstructing her way so I guess it was pretty near the entrance.
I wish I could just come off HRT and let this excess lining bleed out but she advised me not to because I'm going through a stressful time and she said going cold turkey would just add to it. :-(
To be honest, clearing black and brown gunk away every time I go to the loo is stress in itself I could do without.
