i love this group so much I've had great comfort and emotional support from all your posts so thank you .

i first posted in November with a thickened endometrium. Fast forward a hysteroscopy which showed multiple polyps in December.i also had a biopsy for endometrial cancer which sent me into meltdown on and off over the last few weeks waiting on pins for results.

Yesterday I went into hospital ( only I could be booked in on junior doctors strike day) where I had a GA for polyp removal ( around 9 yikes!) and a Mirena coil fitted. I was assured this was to control the horrendous bleeding I had encountered. 

I have 1 positive and 1 negative from yesterday:

positive ( well BIG positive) my biopsy was clear phew! Last 3 weeks and a ruined Christmas has been a nightmare. But I thank God ( and I mean that) that all is well❤️

The negative: when I came out of the recovery room and for the last 24 hours post op I've had terrible muscle pains in my neck shoulders and arms. Been taking paracetamol and ibuprofen for it. I think it's the meds they use with GA ? 

Anyway all all in all I'm ok and hopefully done for now( fingers crossed) 

Thank you all much love ❤️❤️❤️

    Oh Mandy you're so sweet. I'm happy to hear that you're biospy was clear.  I'm new to this forum but like you, I feel the support that I was looking for and feel that I'm finally bonding with other ladies who are going through the same hormonal issues I've been dealing with all alone. As for the pain in neck and arms did you ask your doctor about this, it could be that they hit some nerve and caused this pain, unless you already suffer from it? Anyhow, keeping my fingers crossed for you.  Happy New Year  and God Bless. <><3>

    Hi Mandy,

    feel good to hear that your biopsy report came positive.just wanted to know if you don't mind,are you still bleeding and how long u had been bleeding,I want to know because my endometrial linning went thick in November Dr took biopsy no results,as the technicians wanted more sample, but when I had my follow up with gynecologist he said there is no need to do it again as my bleeding stop, I am confused.i am put on hysterectomy weighting list due to endometrosis and fibroids.

      Hi T as

      Of course I don't mind ..ask away!

      My lining was very thick 25mm. Bleeding was very heavy with large clots. The bleeding was so bad it made me anaemic.

      The hysteroscopy was a breeze no anaesthetic it was the polyp removal was tricky.

      Do you really need a hysterectomy? Is there not other treatments before that?

      Keep in touch xxx❤

    Hi Mandy,thnx for replying, I had my  lap done on 9 March 2015,they took my 2cyst out and cleared my endo but my bowel is stuck Dr didn't clear that up as he didn't wanted to damage and my opt was at private hospital.hormones don't suite me,that is the reason for hystertomy.

    Hi Mandy,

    I wonder if they did the same to you as they did for me when I was sterilised?

    I went private so they are much better with their explanations.

    Because it's all such a tiny area they use a gas to inflate the abdomen so they can see what they are doing.

    When I came round I felt like I had been in a fight or something neck and tops of the shoulders. I was told this is the gas leaving the body through the skin and to sit as upright as possible to help it escape.

      I wondered that too. It was excuriating pain in my neck shoulders and arms. Much better today but last night I was in agony.

      Thanks Zig I think you're right xx❤
