Period again after none for 2 years?

so if we have pain it's C? Where would this pain be?

No pain does not mean cancer! I agree that postings and googling aren't the answer. As an example, when I had my colonoscopy, they found a little diverticulosis. When I got all worried about my health, it caused it to get irritated and cause a little pain. I thought it was my ovary and then got even more worried which made it even worse! After checking everything, I calmed down and all went back to normal. So pain can be from worry!

Same thing happened to me! I was a nervous wreck for weeks. But that was over a year ago and all is fine and it hasn't happened since. My doctor said it was probably a surge of estrogen. She said our bodies continue to produce small amounts in other parts of our bodies and not the ovaries. Or it might have been a leftover egg that decided to drop. I was just frustrated that there's not any research on this even though it is fairly common. So I know you will worry but try not to keep searching online. There's no help out there and it will just worry you more.

Becky , I bleed heavy the first 5 days and then stopped for a few days and the back to spotting so far the whole month of June! I had a transvaginal ultra sound showed thickening if the lining of the uterus 9 mm . I get done pelvic pain ( in vaginal area) and some back ache . I'm 59 and scared so bad. Did you spot a long time when it happened to you? My breast feel so heavy and before all this started about 2 weeks or maybe a little less I had ovulation big time the egg sticky ovulation . Sometimes my legs have a weak feeling and later on it goes away. Has anyone on here close to my age spotted an entire month? Have some stingy pain in the female area. Thanks Carol. I sent a message to I think missy not sure if whole name haven't heard back though she was my age and had the biospy done I was wondering her results

I had all the symptoms I used to have during ovulation with the discharge and sore breasts about 2 weeks before. Then my period was what was normal for me before menopause. A little heavy for 3 days or so and then spotting for about 8 days. But that was typical for me. My ultrasound was two weeks later and the lining was normal. But I had stopped bleeding by then. I did have a biopsy as a precaution and it was normal. I have a friend who's lining was 11mm. She had a dnc and her results we're normal. So your thickened lining doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. In fact, the odds are it's fine. But you're doing the right thing having it checked. I know how traumatic this is for you. Sending hugs and prayers. Keep busy and don't Google!

Becky, did any of your test ever show thicken of the lining of the uterus ? See I'm still spotting and with symptoms which scares me even more .

Thanks Carol

My tests did not show a thickening. But i was two weeks from the end of my period. It doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem. As I said, my friend had 11mm thickening and she was fine. What tests are you having done next?

I will be having a bisopy Aug 2 and I see my primary care Monday and I guess she will do a Pap smear for cancer I haven't had that done in a long time . They did do a manual Pap smear in ER but she said they only check for STD and infection as well to see if they bleeding is coming from the uterus. Then they did the transvaginal ultra sound and the report on that was thicken lining of the uterus 9mm. Said to follow up with GYN. I was bleeding heavy at that time I just wonder if they could still get a good reading with bleeding ?

Bleeding is probably from the lining. But that's what a period is also. The lining thickens and then sheds. So if it was a period, the lining would be thicker. Glad you have an appointment on Monday. Too bad they can't do the biopsy then as well so you can be done with it! Best wishes to you. Why so long on the biopsy???

It was the earliest they had but said to call back during the week to check for cancelations. My life has been so stressful for so long time now, my husband passed away Jan. 15, 2015 and for 3 years he was on life support completely paralyzed and could only move he eyes he was locked in his own body slowly watching himself die those whole 3 years he could not eat or communicate with us :-( he suffered from Bular ALS . I have a 12 year old autistic son and a special needs 20 year old daughter and so this all is just so scary for me . I don't mean to be a bother just needing to feel some hope , I cry a lot and have no friends or support everyone kinda left after all the dealings with my husband . I am thankful for you taking time to reply to me though. Sorry so long , Carol

Oh goodness! My heart hurts for you. So many burdens to bear. This is just one more thing to worry about and you sure didn't need that. Keep calling to get that appointment. The stress and anxiety can really be terrible. And remember, there are a lot of things this can be and they aren't bad. Peace to you while you wait.

I started heavy bleeding the 2 of June and Bleed heavy for about 4 to 5 days it stopped completely for 5 days and then started back spotting and have so far spotted the whole month with off and on soreness and stingy pain in female area. Here is how my periods went when I thought I was through menopause Last period was March 20, 2013 went all the way without until February 2014 I started spotting so after the spotting in feb 2014 then I went without a period Till 2015 and started spotting for seven days then I made it till 2016 but this month 10 to 14 days before I started bleeding I had ovulated the egg white discharge then June 2 I started heavy bleeding! Is it possible I haven't reached true menopause yet even though I'm 59? I have never taken HRT. With every symptom makes me so nervous and scared out of my wits :-(

Tuesday June 14th I had some bleeding that turned into totally disgusting almost black discharge. As of today, June 26, I am still having lite brown discharge. I am 18 months post menopausal. Called my GYN and had a ultrasound that Thuresdsy. Saw the GYN Friday morning and had a pelvic exam done. Other than Adenomiosis and a 3mm endometrium, the ultrasound found nothing. I was told to call her back if I was still experiencing the discharge Monday. I was, so I called the office and have a endometrial biopsy scheduled for this Tuesday. I have had two biopsies before. One was before a uterine ablation and the other before a d&c. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I had a similar experience but mine was like a real period. That always ended in brown discharge though and did that time too. I was more than 2 years post menopause. Maybe even close to 3. My uterine lining was 3 mm and I had a cyst on my ovary. I had the biopsy and it was fine. That was over a year ago and no problems since. The biopsy is a precaution because the chance of an abnormal biopsy if your uterine lining is less than 5 mm is almost zero. The doctor said I probably had a surge of estrogen from somewhere other than my ovaries because my blood tests showed I was definitely in menopause so I didn't ovulate. She said we still produce estrogen in other parts of our bodies just in small amounts.

I'm cool with the biopsy because I want piece of mind.  My GYN thought it maybe stress related.  I have only been with this GYN for two years.  We moved and I had to replace the Dr. that deliver my four children, preformed the Ablation, and D&C.  I was a little taken back when she asked me why I had the D&C.  Seems to me she should have looked over my records before I had my appointment Friday.  But what do I know.

Yes the peace of mind is good and I'm glad I had one too even though the chance of it being abnormal was so small. She's probably right about stress. I was under a lot of stress then too. So that might be it. I'm just grateful that we are in a position to be able to get all this checked out!

You will find out soon enough.  Just keep letting your Dr know you'll take anyone's cancelled appointment.  Ever if you have to call ever Monday to remind them.  

So sorry Carol. I didn't mean to. There are lots of reasons it could be 9. I have a friend whose was 11 and her biopsy was just fine. And I think it is possible that you haven't fully reached menopause yet. I'm no doctor for sure but I do a lot of research because i want to educate myself. But that can be such a bad thing! Don't worry Carol. You're in good hands and chances are very good that you are going to be able to breathe a sigh of relief soon.

I had a D&C a little over a week ago for bleeding 2 1/2 yrs after menopause. Uterine lining was 9.3mms. Results? Normal. Not even hyperplasia. Gynie says I had an estrogen surge, probably from stress I had been experiencing. He said the adrenal glands also secrete a small amount of estrogen and when we're under a ton of stress, those glands kick out adrenalin, cortisol and estrogen. It was just enough to bring on a period. If it happens again soon, he'll do a 2 week course of progesterone to keep my high estrogen in balance.

Good news Debbie! And I'm glad to hear another doctor's explanation. It's basically what my doctor said too. Also glad you could help give Carol some reassurance! It's frustrating to me that this doesn't seem to be uncommon but there's no research or information about it anywhere.

Carol I'm soon to be 60 and started spotting 2 months ago. Having a ultrasound and blood work done this week.. I had some fullness &

just yucky period feeling off and on for the last several weeks..also some back pain.. But after reading all the comments, I'm not as anxious as I have been.. But will be relieved to find out ..

Im lucky to have a Doctor who has lots of experience & I feel comfortable 

with.. So important..

That suppose to say pain and how long did you spot I mean spotting after the heavy bleeding so far the entire month of June :-( yes I'm very scared !

hope to find out more by the end of the week. Have you seen a doctor

and what did they say?

They bumped the appointment for biospy for next week she didn't like me having to worry all the way to Aug 2 so they called them and had them get one early which now it's with s man and I don't like that here's what all she said

She said that I may not be through menopause like I thought that they had 60-year-old women pregnant but she couldn't roll out the Cword so instead of me keep worrying all-through August 2 they bumped appointment up for the biopsy for next week but it's with a man She only listen to my stomach and pressed around all over it!

I'm glad they changes the appointment too! Didn't like you worrying so long. Don't worry about it being a man. He does it all the time. Let us know how it goes.

Was that with your GYN or just you PCP?  I'm glad you got a closer appointment.  My first two were done by a male Dr.  I started seeing a female Dr About 21/2 years ago.  My biopsy is scheduled for tomorrow at 12:40.

Mine did.  I went in thinking I was having a consultation for a Uterine Ablation.  When the nurse told me to go in the exam room I told her I was here for a consultation not an exam.  She informed me that the Dr decided to do a biopsy instead.  You will have to undress from the waist down.  Then you will be asked to assume the position.  Once you are ready they prep like your getting a Pap test.  Some will spray your cervix with a numbing medicine.  Open your cervix enough to put a pipeline thru to take a sample.  It is not a pleasant experience.  Some women find it painful and some don't. I would take 2 or 3 Motrin about 45 to 60 minutes before your appointment.

I had aching in private area and woke up this morning with lower back ache and the bleeding picked up, not needing pad just more and daker reder/brown blood. Feeling exteremly nervous about how all this has been doing the entire month! The C has me terrified the way i'm feeling and the aches pain and blood has me crazy!  Just as you think it might be clearing up it starts all over again. You been spotting for two months was the spotting more and less at different times? Did you get any aches or pains with it? Thanks, CarolR

Just got home from my Ultasound & Blood today. The nurse told me another lady in her sixties had full blown periods. And most likely it is caused from Hormone Therapy. Apparently this happens quite often. Especially when useing bioidentical hormones

Hope this helps & glad you will have some answers soon..

That's suppose to say I do not take any hormone therapy at all never have.

The Ultasound was easy, they did a outside & inside. Blood work not so good, blew the vain. Sore but ok. I've been on hormone therapy for years, so hoping that's the case. After my doctor reviews the Ultasound & Blood will determine if we move to the biopsy..

yes in her case horomone therapy 

I'm hoping to know tomorrow my results 

I had that full heavy bleeding the beginning of June after the heavy bleeding stopped and after the transvaginal my spotting had been like not clots but brownish stringy stretchy type anyone else get that occasional A very light pink but mostly off and on during the day it's the stringy stretchy type like tissue and that's the way it's been . That transvaginal wouldn't cause that right . Most time it's not the smooth blood spotting more like what I described above and when more is coming I get the vaginal pain with it . Any ideals I am worried about the C but does what I explained sound like regular spotting?

I dont want to take hormone theraoy if it'll cause me to have monthly periods again.

I got my results back & everything is ok ??

Yeah!! Ultasound & Bloodwork negative

She told me it is possible that my hormones

may need to be adjusted. I've been on them for about 5 years. But at this point bleeding has stopped for now. We are in a wait & see if it's starts again. Then maybe a D&C ???

But No cancer!! Prayers for a good result for you also..??

That's great news!  I know your relived.  Hopefully that will be it for you.

They did a Pap smear and biopsies in the office this morning and said results will be in Thursday . My heart was pounding when I woke up at 6:24 AM and I was so nervous in the Doctor office my blood pressure was 185/103 The GYN Doctor went over the C scare and that a lining thickness 4mm and under don't require biopsies. Mine was 9mm . The bleeding I was doing all month and the first 5 days of this month he said had stopped

He said he seen no blood when he was doing all that stuff down there. He said cercivc was closed and had to dilate it open some to get bisopies . When you all had this done did they go over about C and so forth ? Those test was NO picnic !!! They did urine test too . Did anyone else here get biopsies done in the doctors office instead of hospital? I just got home around 10:00 something today eastern time . How do you keep paralyzingly fear at bay while you wait results ? If anyone on here prays please pray for me. I believe in power of prayer and am a believer, Jesus Christ is my Lord and I could not of went through all this today wasn't for Him! I thank Him for getting me through this step.

Hi Carol. I'm so glad you we're able to get in to have the tests and didn't have to wait. Yes, mine was done in the doctor's office. I totally understand how you feel. I do think it's important to keep in mind that there are a lot of possibilities here that are not the "C." We naturally go to the worst scenario even though it's more likely not to be that. And I work in a church so yes I believe in prayer! I will do that. And let us know on Thursday

I agree with the comment that it's the anxiety.

did the doctor call you all for your biospy reports or did you have to call? After reading about you alls lining been less than 4mm, scares me to death because mine was 9mm. Could the bleeding I did thin it any? Was yours 3 mm before you bleed or after? I am out of my mind with this worry due to the 9mm and 19 months without a period! If anyones was 9mm or more and you hadnt had a period for 19 months or more please let me know please! Does it mean automatically been 9mm is C? I need to hear from anyone that can take time to reply. Sorry, I just can't get my mind to stop!

My doctors office called me. But they're all different. Call them if you don't hear back on Thursday morning. My lining was thin and that was 2 weeks after I had a period. No the 9 mm does NOT mean it's the "C"! My really good friend was 11 mm. They did a d&c and biopsied. It came back normal and they didn't give her any explanation that I know of. She was well past meno at that time. It can be hyperplasion which is not the "C". I do understand your worry. I pray you will be able to stay busy tomorrow and Thursday will come quickly.

Good grief, no! Every body is different, and what is normal for some won't be normal for others. 9mm does not mean cancer. I know it's hard, I've been there myself. Thursday is coming, and the odds are with you. Please try not to worry.

Mine didn't call until after lunch.

Mine called mid morning. All are different so you can't know when they will call.

The doctors office called me and said that my pap smear was completely normal (I hadn't had a pap smear in 20 years due to paralizing fear and many other things) The biospy they said that the doctor did not get enough tissue and couldnt be tested and he will see me next Tuesday @ 2:30 to discuss what to do next. I thank the Lord that the pap smear was normal and I'm praying He will protect me through the rest of this. For all the Prayer warriors on here please keep me in your prayers.

Good news on the pap smear but I can't believe that about the biopsy! How can an experienced doctor not get enough for a biopsy??? They made you go through all of that and you still have to go back? What do they mean "what to do next?" Are they going to schedule you for another one?

yes, he even told me it may come back that way that because my cervix was closed he tried dialating and still didn't get enough! He he said that he will put me under and comepletey open cervix and get bisopies again and if any poylps he would remove them and would also do a D&C :-( I'm wondering if I should have the transvaginal repeated to see if the lining is thinner because I had just started bleeding with they did the transvaginal like ws on only like 2 day . I also wonder if I should schedule an apppoinment with some one else . He was a man looked to be about 33 or maybe a little older. I need you alls advice because I have been making myself go to doctors! 

My primary care doctor got that appointment with him because mine was for Aug 2. My daughter just told me ( a little late now) that he only been with them for one year! I have a question when he did the papsmear he would of had to get enough for them to read the pap smear they would of known if he didn't ?

I forgot that he had trouble with the endometrial biopsy. The pap is fine. Easier to get that. I think his plan sounds good and thorough so stick with him. He may have only been there a year but that doesn't mean he isn't experienced. No need for another ultrasound. The tests he plans to do are appropriate so the ultrasound won't change that. Yes it's probable that the lining was thicker because you we're bleeding but he needs to do all the tests to see why that was happening. Hang in there. Hopefully all these tests will put your mind at ease.

My gosh.  I am so sorry.  I, too, feel it must be stress related.  I have been under tremendous stress---just in the last year. In the last five months I have had one health issue after another. Started bleeding last night.  Panicked until I found this site. Called the doctor, had tests scheduled for Tuesday next week---couldn't go on Monday---husband has HIS tests.  But the doc just called back and wants me to come in tomorrow. Carol, I am thinking about you.  Hang in there. Things will get better for you. I hope you are taking time for yourself---time to make new friends, have fun. I know what it is like to have obligation after obligation---and relatives who are ill and only have YOU. It makes us ill, and then who do THEY have? 

Hi Dee,  At least they got you in tomorrow.  That will give you piece of mind over the weekend.  Good luck with your appointment.  Let's us know how you make out.

jane

Dee, are you suppose to be meno or peri ? The little clinic said throat wasnt beefy red and that the white spot was some kind of catch all for the tonsil like debri never heard that before she said eventually it goes away on its own anyone ever heard that? She said my ear had fluid in it and I have a sinus infection. Gave me antibotic to take 1 every 12 hours for 10 days 500mg. and the flonas. It's weird that the ear temp device she used to check my temp said 99.4 but before coming home I bought a new mouth thermo and took temp and it was 97.6 and I had NOT taken anything for fever. 

Is it a spot on the tonsils, or is it tonsiloliths? I've had tonsiloliths (also called tonsil stones) for decades. The stuff doesn't really go away on its own, at least not for me. I have to flush them out. It's just food and bacteria that get stuck in the tonsils. It can give you awful breath. They're pretty common.

Way back when I had my wisdom teeth removed, my surgeon gave me a dental irrigation syringe to keep the holes where the teeth were removed clean from food debris while the gums healed. I still use this decades later to flush out my tonsils. It looks like this: http://www.net32.com/images/endodontic/monoject-disposable-syringe-412.jpg
