Hi there,

I also had the same, ranging from ridiculously heavy to a continous flow. Had a scan which showed a thickening, this went on from July and eventually i paid private to see a gyny in December as things werent happening quick enough. I had to have a hysteroscopy and biopsy, that was fine done under general, they found it was a polyp which they took out - all was normal and had a merina coil fitted. I still bleed for about 5 weeks but very light.

Please dont worry (easy said) as it is very typical of perimenopause but is worth checking. Most doctors dont do bloods to test for menopause as the results are often wrong as your hormones are all over the place and can appear within the nrmal range, so dont go on that just look at the symptoms. Google perimenopause. Good luck with the scan and i am sure that if the doctor was at all worried you would have been dealt with much quicker.

Hi,could be from fibroids or endometriosis. And no you shouldnt have had to wait that long for a scan. Keep us posted and try not to worry. I know its hard. Xx

I've also had the same thing, and it went on for many months. The doctor put me on birth control to see if that would help, but it didn't. The next step was an ultrasound which showed that the lining of my uterus was stuck at 21mm thick. It should typically be about 5, and goes to 8 around the time of your period, then sheds. Mine wouldn't shed at all. I also had some cysts, benign tumors that were tiny, and signs of endometriosis. The next step was a D&C to get me all cleared out. I was put on Lupron for 3 months afterwards, which induced menopause symptoms in order to make sure the bleeding was gone, and my body could heal. After Lupron was finished, I started my period a little over a week later, and thought I was now regulated. Well, once again the bleeding didn't stop, and my doctor suggested ablation, but I asked for a hysterectomy. Thankfully she agreed, and took everything out but the ovaries. The only problem with that is now being 45, it's hard to tell when or if I'm in peri-menopause.

Try not to worry as much as possible. From what I've seen, and have been told by my doctor, the non-stop bleeding is more common than people think, but since it's not talked about much so it's scary at the time. I hope you feel better soon.

hi d1 just to reassure you that when you have bloods done for the menopause it doesnt show up every time thats why they dont like doing them i was fortunate when i had mine done it showed up so dont worry 

hopefully it wont be my worsed fears and il be sorted one way or the other

i think if it dosnt stop and they do a scrap of my womb and its still same im just going to have to look at herbal remedies till im through meno then.

im fedup of bleeding i just want meno to happen now dont care if i get flushes or anything just want bleeding to stop.

Scan is that a transvaginal scan? I went into ER when I started heavy bleeding after 19 months no peiord and they did the transvaginal ultra sound. Have you had that done yet? At GYN I had cervical bispoy and pap smear which came back normal I had an attempted uterus biospy but my cervicix was closed and he couldnt get it so still have to get that done. Before you started this 5 months non stop bleeding how long before that had you not had a peirod ? Are you peri or menopause? Whats the longest you went without a period? I have a friend that is who will be 57 in a few months and she bleed she said heavy for 3 months at a time and spotting in between that and heavy bleeding again. Fear has a horrble grip I know I'm going through it now and everytime someone mentions C symtomps I have them maybe I didnt the day before but I do now I mean I actually feel the physcial symptoms and I'm not sure if extreme fear can make you develope it or not. Can anyone else relate to that?
