Layer changed with a month and a half...

Posted , 4 users are following.

Has anyone in  menopause had TVA showing endometrium layer of 3mm and then a month and a half later, due to premenstrual symptoms and bleeding gone to gynie, had the layer jump to 8mm? A biopsy was done but I have to wait 3-4 weeks for the result and I am not coping well. Seems to me that it could be hormonal as someone here suggested a few days ago, but now I am overly anxious. Also if there was a later stage than zero or one would a mass be seen on the TVA?

Thanks. Im supposed to go abroad tomorrow on holiday and this has ruined it. sad

    Oh darling I know how u feel. I am

    Post and my lining is 11mm. Going in Friday for a biopsy. My partner was suppose to go with me and he dumped me on Monday after 2 yrs.

    Anxiety is horrible and gets the best of you even though u don't want it.

    I wish I could make it better but we just have to be strong and carry on u til the results arrive and cope with whatever it is.

    I hope for u and for me it will be nothing.

    Xx

    I'm not a doctor or nurse so please know this is only what I think. But I've done a lot of research. You don't say if you're actually post menopause and by how long? No period in over a year? 3 mm is good. Why did they check you then? If you're having a period now, then yes, your lining will be thicker. Because that's what a period is. Your lining thickens and then you shed it. So 8 would be completely normal. After the period, it will be thin again. I assume you're concerned about cancer? That happens when your have an abundance of estrogen that continually thickens your lining and multiplies the cells. A month and a half doesn't sound reasonable for that to happen. I think you're having a period and that's why the lining is thick. Maybe someone else will correct me on that but that's what I think. Can you call and ask the doctors office to explain it to you? I think you'll find you can go on holiday and not worry.

      Thanks. I'm 56 and 14 months post. I went in July due to lower abdominal pain, which has been gone for over month now. A few days ago my spotting started so I went in again.

      My opinion is you're having a period. You may just not be completely in meno yet. Have they checked your hormone levels? That would tell them a lot.

      So hope you are right. I also think so but still, the worry is there... I also had an increased appetite, libido, and tender breasts before the bleeding, plus my daughter came home from her service for the weekend and she had her period, and I had a lot and stress in June and July. Thanks for helping me see things more objectively.

      I cannot call my gynie now as  it is late night and early am we fly. I only thought of checking the July US results this evening (I must have beenin shock and had a fuzzy brain) and then thought how odd it was to go from 3 to 8 in less than two months.

      You had those symptoms of pms so yes, it's a period. I bet it will end in a week. So go have fun and don't worry.
