    Hi! I was diagnosed with AV about 3 years being post menopausal as well as with a cervical polyp which I did not have removed (could'nt afford the procedure even though I had insurance). I had bleeding 2 years later.   When I went to the doctor, the polyp was gone and she referred me for a uterine biopsy, but told me bleeding with AV was not normal. After the biopsy returned negative she said it was the polyp coming off that caused the bleeding. 

    i would encourage you to follow up with an exam to determine if other factors might be at play. Best wishes!

    Yes...excellent advise from Joy.  Whenever there is bleeding we must get it checked out.  Keep us posted please.
