Endometrial cancer - what were your symptoms?

I have had the contraceptive implant for 18 months now. I've started having light periods that last 3 weeks each time, it's very dark in colour almost black discharge at times. I've mentioned this to the sequel health nurse and she suggests scans and swabs as she doesn't think it's the implant causing this. Im really worried it's something more sinister as I am only 29 and my blood pressure has been high recently too when it's been checked. Hope you can advise.

Thankyou

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask what you would recommend are some good questions I should ask tomorrow? as I go for my biopsy. Thanks so much for starting this thread it's nice to have people to relate to. I'm 28 with two kids, pcos and a fatty liver. My periods have been more off than on aside from the last year. Last December I started my period and was on for three months, happened again in July and then now I've been on since early November. (I've explained most of this earlier in he thread). Anything you could recommend is appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone has experienced an extended period (literally I've been on for 3 months) and having large clots, and when it's lighter but not ending also passing light coloured tissue? Not red like clots but it like a light redish pink not dark red like a clot. I went for my biopsy today so only time will tell just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

Hi I am new to this site and worried I have had heavy periods for a yr or so my last period was really heavy flooding and large clots then it went light no clots nearly a month on and still bleeding, been to go had a smear ,blood tests and swabs taken blood tests for throid iron etc all clear had swabs taken all clear waiting for smear results, sent for ultra sound results back said cyst on right ovarie blockage left ovarie fluid review in 4 or 5 weeks when doctor took swabs she said she can see changes on my cervix but wasn't sure if because I had pre cancer cells about 15yrs ago and had loop diphermy to remove them, I feel tired all the time no engery bloated run down, just had a appointment through for Thursday for gynaecological oncology so really worried specially with minor things ruled out would anything sinister shown up on ultra sound? Sorry if I don't make much sense or if posted this in wrong place thankyou xx

Hi again, I just received my biopsy results and they came back negative for malignancy and for hyperplasia. So I'm extremely relieved. I'm still a bit concerned though because the lining is thick (18mm) and I'm passing still passing tissue like stuff not anything like a clot. I do have a history of pcos and rarely have periods maybe 4\year and as of the last year when I do get my period it lingers for so long. I've been on provera for a week and a half and I've started spotting again.im only 28. Has anyone had this issue? Should I request a D&C or is the biopsy "enough" to determine that this really is just how I am? Thank you all for your help and I put this group is amazing.

I am 48 yrs old, in April of 2015 I saw my nurse pract for my annual and at that time I told her my periods were getting closer.  I would have it for 3-4 days heavy and then get a day break and get it back for another couple.  I would also have spotting, but usually old blood so I just figured it was an ovulation thing.  Since then it hasn't gotten any better, my cycle is averaging 20-24 days total until November of 2016.  I then got my period and it hasn't gone away.  Some co-workers told me it was normal and that I am just going through perimenopause.  In early Jan I had an episode where it just poured out of me.  I had huge clots and cramping.  I hoped it would stop after that.  It did lighten but hadn't stopped.  I then had another 3 days where it got really bad.  If I didn't get up in the middle of the night to change I would wake up having bled through everything.  I have also had issues with urinary incontinence and urgency.  I thought that was a separate issue.  I went back to the Nurse Prac, because it has gotten to be very difficult to plan.  I am never sure if it is going to get bad and I might be somewhere I can't get to a bathroom.  I have been tired.  On the weekends if I don't drink coffee I could spend the whole day sleeping.  I work a lot of hours and just figured it was "catch up" from the week.  The NP scheduled me for an ultra sound, my pap test came back fine.  The ultra sound showed thickening, so a biopsy was done.  I don't have the results back yet but I am obviously nervous.  I am my sole support and self employed.  I don't know how I can get time away to do anything about this right now. I would really love to hear that my symptoms don't seem like any of these.  Crossing my fingers.  If my results are not as I would hope, do I have time to put this off if I have to for financial reasons?

I am worried sick...18 months ago I experienced light bleeding...had a polyp which came back negative for cancer...obgyn said she took a good look and uterus looked fine.  now I am spotting again, had a transvaginal ultrasound done 2 weeks ago...phoned for results...doctor not in so the office help read it off to me...all I remember is hypo echoic area....My question is: because everything was good 18 months ago should I be worried about cancer...I am making myself sick worrying
