    Hi there,  I am sorry to hear you are going through all of this.  All I know is peri menopause, and menopause seems to be such a unique time.  I have spent more time going to doctor appointments and tests for new things that pop up from out of no where and like you nothing shows up on tests, but things definitely feel different...then my mind takes over and I worry that something was missed.  You are not alone with the worries as most all of us on here feel the same with different issues.  My suggestion would be is go back to the doctor and ask for more tests to be done.  Where I live pap smears are done every three years unless there is new abnormal bleeding in that time.  I would get another pelvic ultra sound done as well.....if all comes back normal, I would think it is hormonal and perhaps progestrone might be what you need.   I am not in menopause, but peri menopause and I know I have more back aches now then I ever did, and I have had more stomach issues, someone suggested it is because hormones are depleting and tissues depend on these hormones.....so it is possible you may have an imbalance.  The number one cause of imbalance is stress and anxiety (which I have) so if you get the clear from your tests, I would look at lifestyle, diet, exercise, relaxation techniques.....anything to get yourself back in balance.

       Thank you for your reply, just some one else to talk to helps calm the nerves and fears for awhile, and yes i have had a ultra sound today, which was not told anything just that the results will be sent through to my doctor on Monday . So i have a appointment Monday  to get results  and have a biopsy on the same day, then i guess it is a waiting game until i get the results of the biopsy , which of course i am dreading . It is good to hear that others have the same fears and thought s like i do and am having.   I really appreciate your reply it has helped me.
