Period again after none for 2 years?

It sounds almost exactly what I am going through.  When I went to the doctor simply becasue of the bleeding alone, I was scheduled for an ultrasound and biopsy.  The ultrasound was last week and I was told the lining was thin which was a good thing.  Told it was probably a hormonal surge.  Because the lining was thin, they did a blood test.  I was under the assumption it was to test my hormonal levels to see if I was in menopause.  I just got my results and it was the C125 test for cancer only.  It is  14.2 which shows it falls in the normal range.  Tomorrow is my biopsy.  Still nervous until I get the results of that.  One thing I learned is that this site is the ONLY place you should get information on this.  The internet is all gloom and doom.  Read the other stories on here and you will feel better.  These ladies are wonderful.  The rest of the internet will have you convinced that what you are going through is not common.  Through this site and the technician who did my ultrasound I learned it is.  I am not out of the woods yet as I still have to go for my biopsy, but I am feeling a lot better and you should too, especially since you are not that long after your 12 month mark.  Probably a hormonal surge like me.  Wow, I've come a long way in a week! 

 

I've only just seen your comment I have my ultrasound later today thank you so much for your comment I'm glad there is a light at the end for you xx my CA125 was 18 so doctor was not worried as blood test normal but was concerned about the spotting how the heck I'm going to hold my bladder I don't know not stopped yet and being sick is not helping xxx take care 😘

The ultrasound I had was vaginal which you don't have to full up with water and I was even told to empty my bladder before the test. Did they tell you to drink water? Good luck today.

Yes barb pint and half doing it now I had a scare a few years ago got fibroids made me bleed heavy but just spotting this time but nothing since a week Friday so confused xx

When I had my ultrasound they did both an abdominal and a vaginal. So, I had to drink lots of water (32oz, I think?), hold it til the abdominal ultrasound was done, and then empty the bladder (and it does have to be completely empty, which isn't as easy as it sounds) before they could do the vaginal ultrasound.

I've had fibroids as well. They tend to come and go.

Hi when I got there I never had a scan I had biopsy from inside I have to go back in 2 weeks has my cervix wouldn't play but said she needed to check out my womb as she says but what she could see looked healthy xxx thank you for reply xxx

Hi barb I never had the ultrasound in the end tryed to get the camera in but my cervix kept pushing it out I did however have a biopsy which was a little uncomfortable good job I took a pad as it did make me bleed 😐 now I have to wait 2 weeks to try again for camera so that another big worry I be thin as a rake lost 10lbs in weight good luck Hun xx

You stop eating when you're worried and I eat more!  So I had the biopsy.  Like you said the biospsy itself was a little uncomfortable.  However, there is a machine that they use to enter all of your information to make sure the biopsy and  the patient getting it done are matched up.  Well, the one they were using wasn't working.  The doctor and the nurse are mumbling about the screen not working, they went and got someone else and now the 3 of them are mumbling...all while they are between my spread eagle legs.Really?  So they decided after about 10 minutes of me laying like this to switch the machine because the connection wasn't working and the new one was o.k.  All this was after the biopsy was done and she inserted the camera.  I'm laying there with a camera hanging out of my privates that are no longer private!  Anyway, my uterine lining is a 3.9 and I have a cyst on my ovary.  They did another blood test after I requested one to find out my hormonal levels.  I go back next Wednesday to find out the results.  Right now the only problem is the cramping but getting better.  Praying for all of us!

 

Barbara, how was your bisopy report?

Hi. I had posted about an hour ago but don't know if it made it in here. Anyway, I had the biopsy and have to wait until I see the doctor next Wednesday for the results. Doctor said I have a cyst on my ovary and my lining is a 3.9 thickness. The machine wasn't working that recorded everything so they had to hook up another one all while I was " spread eagle" ugh. Thank you so much for remembering and asking

I know the spread eagle deal lol I kept trying to cover with the half folded sheet I was giving that kept falling down my upper thighs to my belly and then the gyn and her assiants keep telling you with your  bare booty to keep scooting down to you feel like you and your bare booty will hit the floor! Women have to go through so much it is unreal! I have no ideal why you had to have a biospy in the first place I was told anything 5mm and under they don't give biospy! I had too because I was post meno and lining was 9mm. Here in Kentucky they call you within 3 to 4  days and give you results. 

You always make me laugh! She told me the cut off was 4mm and I was right on the cusp at 3.9. Every time I go back it's a $40 copay. Not a lot compared to those not having insurance but $40 more than a free phone call to tell me. She said she would rather me come in to discuss treatment...if there is any.

I think you are clean as a whistle :-)  I agree they will squeeze out as much green$ as they can. Do you trust and like your gyn?. My first one after 3 visit with him and his attemped uterine biopsy (failed), pap smear and cervical bipsoy he did good and results was good BUT he kept scheduling surgery 3 times (which all got canceled due to insurance deductible not met and upper respirtory infection and then the chief of gyn canceled) He just wanted to take you in surgery and rip out anything there . The resonn he kept scheduling surgery was becuse he couldn't get the uterine biopsy said he didnt want to punch hole in uterus, that guy had me scared silly. I went in for a second opionion with the female chief of GYN she got the biospy done in office no problem she went in 3 times during that biospy she also did a manual pelvic (I hate them) . They called with results within 3 to 4 days thank God all was good and said I don't need to come back in until next year for regular check up.  She did blood work to on hormones and thyroid. The shocking part is blood work showed me still peri-meno and NOT meno and I had went 19 months with no period and then had two! That transvaginal ultra sound with that mini killer looking ball bat I hated that test! She couldnt find my ovaries and had to run it on my stomach when she was done diging for lost treasure :-) I'm fat so when she was running it all over my lower stomach and pushing in so hard I thought I would be bruised and ruptured I took it as long as I could and then said "well did you find them"? She said yes lol Wonder why she could not find them during the transvaginal ultra sound? 

I forgot to add when I had the transvaginal ultra sound I was bleeding heavy not sure if thats why she couldnt find ovaries or not. I still wonder when bleeding heavy during that transvagainal ultra sound if they even get good readings? 

You 're making me laugh again....lol...this is the first time with this funk. My last one I went to for 38 years and he retired 3 years ago. I begged him not to. So I didn't go to anyone for 3 years....although I thought about it once in a while ...lol...I lost my job in June and figured now was going to be a good time to get my health in order...never thought of this though. So to answer your question....I think I like,and trust the new gunk...depends on next week....

lol well you got this!  Doing the happy dance 

Omg barb dignity out the window xx I pray for results all being all clear for us both take care and let us know xx😘

I just got my blood test results online but have a call into the doctor to explain it to me.  All of my levels came back in the normal range...do you have any idea what that means?  In menopause or no? 

So the nurse just called me back...."everything is normal, what's the problem?"  Ugh....I wanted to know if the fact that my fsh is in the normal range means I'm in menopause or not.  "Well you haven't had a period for a long time so you're in menopause". Yes but then I started bleeding and I had to have tests done to see if everything was o.k.  "yeah, everything is normal".   I wish they would read what is going on with you before they get snappy with the answers. 

Barbara, the biopsy was good too?  I seriously don't you are menopause with oly 9 days over the12 months. I was 19 months without a period and had two and one was a doozie (heavy) and my blood work showed I wasn't menopause how do you even exlain that . They leave us with okay what is going on. 

No results on the biopsy yet, only the blood test. Bloodwork came back with all levels in normal range. I wanted to know if it was normal for menopause or normal for perimenopause, but the nurse was so snippy making me feel like I was stupid with saying what she did. So if I truly am,in menopause and I was bleedinf, I guess that's not a good sign?

Barbara I thought I was post.....55 no period for 2 years.....then a period. I havent had a blood test to see if im post or not but my scan revealed that my ovaries are still full size, they havent shrunk like they would do if I was post.

 

Hi barb I'm in uk I had full blood count and told my they don't know if I'm menopause as I'm 49 they said I need to go 2 years without period so I have no idea either xx

Happy Day!  Got results of my biopsy and no cancer!  I started crying and got my doctor crying too!  It has been a very stressful 3 weeks and I could not have gotten through it without this forum.  You ladies are great and it was so comforting "talking" with you.  Thank you.  So I guess it was some kind of hormonal surge.  Still not sure if I'm 100 % post menopausal as my blood test results were inconclusive...ranges were right in the middle. 

 

I am so very happy for you xx I am still waiting for ultrasound next week not had any results back I'm still praying xxx take care you are blessed xxx

Kerry, I know your results will be good too because we are going through it together.  Prayers will be answered.

Thanks barb I really hope so xxx you enjoy your life now xx
