Period again after none for 2 years?

Hi Hokuleilani

I've been through this myself the doctor sent me for an ultra sound and the person said you are fine they said we don't know why it happens but it does. Nothing to worry about just like a finishing off last show sort of thing.

I bled for one week like a light period then that was it nothing else since that was two years ago now.

The only time to worry is when you get chronic pain in that area but if there's no pain all should be okay..

All the best liz😀

Yes, it certainly could be and probably is something else.  Please read through the posts on this page and you will see how common this is.  DON'T GOOGLE IT!!!!!!!  I REPEAT....DON'T GOOGLE IT!!!!!  It may be just a hormornal surge like so many of us on here.  I understand your panic because I was in the same situation as you are now, only three weeks ago.   That's the good news....the bad news is that you must go to the gyno in order for him/her to do some tests. Only then will you find out that you will be o.k.   The chances of C are extremley low but the internet doesn't tell you that.  You will be o.k.  The ladies on here are wonderful.  They helped me through the last 3 weeks and everyone is here to help you get through it too.   And you WILL get through it!

 

When I said it "certainly could be", what I mean is a reply to your question "Could it be something else"  Yes, it certainly could be something else and probably is.  Just wanted to clarify that becasue I realized when I read it back it didn't sound right.  You will be fine!

 

I just can't obsessing. Can stress cause bleeding because I truly think I'm having a meltdown. I can't even be around any friends right now. I can't stop worrying and obsessing. I'm probably driving everyone on this site crazy already.

Thank u for listening. I don't think my mind will be at ease until I know one way or the other what it is is it safe to wait til Wednesday ? I'm worried every minute counts.

You are not obsessing any more than I did...LOL!  I was sure it was stress also becasue the night before I started spotting, I was stressing over something uncontrollably.  Stress causes a surge in hormones.  Have you read everyones posts.  It is so common.

It is absolutly safe to wait.  In my case, It was about a month from the time I started spotting until I got all of my results.  Waiting is the worst part!  Our minds go to the worse possible scenario. 

I so understand you. I've been through a year of c screening and then this post Meno bleeding came up just after my last screening for a different part came through clear. Her are some points you myst tell yourself:

1. 90 percent chance it us not C

2. If it is( which it probably is NOT), bleeding is a sign of precancerous cells or very early stages( cells not lump mass). In this case an op removes the C.

You'll be fine.

I will admit I am insanely stressed. I need to stop googling my fate. Now I tho k my abdomen is distended and I'm feeling ill and just experiencing all I am reading. If I read a person would grow two heads I probably would right about now.

I had an extremely stressful month before my bleeding, as well.

So do u know why you were bleeding ? U probably said and it didn't register. I don't think I've ever been as stressed in my entire life as the last month.

Glynnie, share all you want here WE are here for you 24/7 I went through the same insane worry and posted all the time because I was jumping out of my skin! You are not driving any of us here crazy at all. I'm sending you a PM. Just think soon when you are all through this and see you are FINE you will be helping the next percious lady going through this nightmare. 

I'm still waiting for my biopsy results. I am trying hard to keep optimistic and calm, following my own advice when fear grabs me.xoxo

Hi glynnie don't google worst thing ever !! We are all here to help one another through the good and the bad this is the best forum all the wonderful strong women have all have there own problems and still support each other I am going through it myself been 3 weeks so far had a biopsy and waiting to go for a scan stressing out like you but talking it over really does help xx wishing you and everyone else a healthy out come 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for us all xxxx

Try to beg for an earlier appt. Can you go directly to a gynie?

Me to the mind is so unpredictable makes think of all the worse things just need faith in our selves 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for us all xx

I am going to beg to see my doctor on Monday. Need a consult to see gyne which could take forever !

Waiting is the worst. I'm glad they are doing something for you. Did u have to wait long ? I agree to stay off google and I pray for the best for everyone !

Good. Insist! Hope you get in ononday and straight on to a Gynie, to get the tests going. It is just to be extra safe, not because something is so serious, as your mind will start thinking!!

Hi glynnie I had spotting only on tissue that was friday12th Aug had blood tests 15th had biopsy 30th Aug having ultrasound 14th September all I know is that blood tests we normal apart from that bleeding stopped with in 4 days nothing since and still no answers I keep pushing back the fear otherwise I be in a padded cell get appointment put your mind at rest God bless big hugs xx😘

Kerry they did your biopsy before the ultra sound? You still waiting on biopsy results?

I know exactly how you feel. When it happened to me, it was during Christmas, and it really ruined the holiday for me. I didn't get in to see my doctor until January, and of course everything was fine after all of the tests.

Back then I read every post on this thread, and I've been keeping up with the new posts since then. I might be wrong, but I didn't see anyone who posted here ever say they got a cancer diagnosis, and we mostly all seem to be experiencing the same symptoms. 

Hi crosado yes I had biopsy 1st gyni tryed to do transvaginal but said my cervix muscles were strong and kept pushing it out no idea why she never did ultrasound as I was already for it when I went in I guess she did biopsy so I never wasted appointment 🤔💋💋

Do you have children Kerry?  I guess my is weak as heck lol after birthing 7 children! I birth seven and adopted one. 

I'm lucky to have a son after a miscarriage early 😢then my daughter grace still born 😭and now my son who was premature xx

Wow 7 crosado 😜

Yes and as if that wasnt enough I adopted one. :-) Must of been a hormonal imblalance all those times lol

Lol or you love being a mom xxx

oh i'm sorry to hear that Kerry! I lost a son in 2009 from complications from a treahea surgery, he left behind 6 children :-( 

So sorry for your loss 👼🏽

So sorry. There are no words ...

I'm at the trail with my dogs. Trying to distract myself

Husband at party. I could not go

Well back from walk. First thing I had to do was peeh when I got home and blood dripped into the toilet this time. Feeling very discouraged. Worried.

Please try not to worry.  I spotted for 4 days, then it started dripping into toilet, then had to wear a pad for a few days.  There are ladies on here that had heavy bleeding and they do not have C.  I pray that you get an appointment right away so you can get this worrying out of your head. 

Thank you. I'm feeling all of you are keeping me sane right now. From the bottom of my heart thank you. I'll try not to be too much of a pest tomorrow. But I probably will be

You are not being a pest and if you are then I was one too!  It's very scary because of everything you read. Try to just concentrate on everything these ladies are saying here.  It will help and you will realize you are not alone and you will be fine.

And if it's something they can treat it I hope

So this is what I was told....God forbid it is something....but it's not....but if it is, because you are going as soon as you noticed the bleeding, it is the earliest sign.  So....it can be taken care of at its earliest.

Just can't express enough how your symptoms don't add up to anything sinister and how uncommon those things are. But oh my do I remember being right where you are. I vowed to stay on this forum after all that was over to help women who are in that place where I was. One night, i was so scared i drank a whole bottle of wine! Haha! Then i realized thats not the right way to deal with it. But hey, I wasnt worried that night! 😀

Maybe I should have a night cap. Lol

I dont think I even have any wine sounds good if I did though :-)

I'll drink to that!

Well I slept last nite surprisingly. I'll have to attribute that to the sleeping pills I took The spotting was barely there upon awakening. I had to wipe hard and deep to even see anything but once I'm up and moving around its more pronounced. Exercise of any type makes it worse. It has not gone away. And so I start another day. Of course I hope I am imagining my stomach growing. Thought I could hold off posting, but no can do. Sorry everyone

Here I am already in a frenzy and haven't even had my morning coffee. Seems I mainly spot when I move or exercise. Barely there when I woke up. I had to dig for it with the toilet paper. I'm being graphic I know but I don't know how else to explain it. Once I'm up and moving its much more noticeable

Exactly how I was had if 4 days then disappeared my tummy and abdomen was bloated that now to has gone xxx still awaiting game for me glynnie try not to worry I'm thinking at the moment (it's a what if) as nothing has happened as yet I will be 🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you and me and all the other beautiful ladies ??????

And I find googling it and reading dire symptoms I start experiencing them so I don't even know what's real or not. Well the bleeding is. The mind is so powerful. I'm praying and sending positive vibes to everyone and hoping I can follow my own advice and not over think this. But I am an expert at dishing out advice I cannot follow

Lol me to glynnie but I have been stressing out since 12 th august and it's done nothing to Change what the outcome will be all it as done as made me loose weight make me depressed and paranoid bout every single twinge it's not good for us to feel this way I have to think if it's sinister it's been found early but praying it's just a blip my friend stay strong it's hard j know as I have good and bad days myself try not to google anymore xxxx

That is exactly how mine was.  During the day as I was moving, the bleeding would get a litle heavier.  By the time I went to bed at night it was almost non existent and then the next day I would start all over again. I went to bed feeling a little better and the next day would be filled with gloom all over again.  After my tests I also started bleeding heavier.  But you know worrying does not change anything.  All it does is waste time that you can be enjoying with your family.  I too am great at giving and not taking advice.  It's just that when you are on the advice giving side, you can see and think more rationally.  Said a prayer for you and everyone else at church today. 

Thank u. Did u find out the cause ?

ummmm...well I just found out this week that it was not cancer....they don't know if I am post menopausal  because my bloodwork was inconclusive, and my uterus looks great!  LOL   So they think it was a hormonal surge, which I believe because as I said I was extremley stressed leading up to the spotting and stress causes hormones to go crazy.  Your spotting and bleeding sounds just like mine, that's why I am confident you will be o.k. too.

 

Great news Barbara! PTL you was fine!  

Okay. I just lifted weights. My spotting was almost gone. It's back. Do u think I'm riddled with cancer ? I am soooo sorry I am driving u all crazy.

Also I think I told everyone before I have never been sooo stressed out in my life as the past few months. And call me Glyn everyone.

Actually Glyn, I think you had an infection that caused some problems that are trying to heal. But every time you walk a lot or exercise, it irritates it and makes it bleed again. I hope you can get in to the doctor tomorrow so you can get some answers. But I really do think that's what's happening. I'm sending a long distance hug. I remember how worried I was

Thank you. I wish I could hug you. I am sickly worried and I seriously believe I need some medication for my anxiety.

I thought the same thing! Even asked the doctor for them. Then when I found out I was fine, I didn't need them any more. Neither will you. But slow down on the exercising until you get better, OK???

I feel the same way as Becky,  Gynnie Big Hugs!

It's a weird obsession I think If I exercise I've I will be okay which Is nonsense. It's making me worse. I am seriously having a nervous break down

It takes your mind off things. I get it. Where do you live? Just curious.

No I dont think you are ridden with C because you certainly wouldnt have the energy to lift weights ..shoot most of the time I can hardly lift ,y head lol... You not driving us crazy maybe your excerise routine just might rub off on me BUT it's gonna take a long time :-) 

I have had way too much to drink tonight. Probably the worst thing I could do but I am going nuts here. Praying my dr will see me tomorrow ! But I doubt it

Trying to start a new thread but I am having troubles. Woke up this morning. Really itchy again. Been pushing that toilet paper right up there and no blood yet. Calling clinic now

Stop doing that with the toilet paper. You will make yourself bleed from that and make matters worse. I did that, I know.

Winnipeg.

O glynnie sorry you have to feel that you need to do that your gonna be so sore please don't xxxx you really need to calm down anxiety is not good I should now we're here to help with your fears 🙏🏻🙏🏻praying for us all xxxxx

Glynnie I know how you feel. In early July I had a strange pain in my very lower left abdomen, where the leg meets the body. I had the strangest tingling in my abdomen also low down but all over, really weird. Then I had blood from the rectum. I am a bit doctor phobic. All this while my husband was abroad on business and my nest just emptied completely. I went to my family doctor. My blood pressure was so high from nerves that hewanted to give me a pill! I told him I was just over anxious and it is not usually high. He sent me to a gynie, and a gastro. I also googled tons. I diagnosed myself with colon cancer, ovarian cancer, cancer all over that had spread everywhere, etc etc. The gynie did a Pap smear which I hadnt had in 8 years (really wrong of me, due to my stupid phobia), an internal ultrasound found a lump in my uterus which she thought was a fibroma but was not sure. She sent me to a clinic to do another internal ultrasound with a more detailed machine (never knew this difference in US devices even existed). The technician there does these all day everyday and assured me that the fibroma was just a fibroma. I then returned to my gynie with the results and she sent me to the clinic again to do an external US of the abdomen, to see all my organs. That one came out fine and all was okay. Of course going in created huge stress for me as did result waiting and follow ups with the drs. Then I went to the gastro dr and he ordered a colonoscopy because of the bleeding and my age- 55. Where I live people get colocoscopies from age 50, every 5 years. I, of course, didnt get one at age 50 (stupid me). The prep is not pleasant, but wasnt anywhere nearly as horrible as I had imagined. I had it done and it was also fine. So I had none of the diseases I thought I surely had. No ovarian cancer, no colon cancer, no cancer all over. I felt like I got a new lease on my life only to wake up at the end of Aug to bleeding like a period. I googled and was shocked. SO it began all over, back to the gynie, another internal US, a biopsy. I am now awaiting my results. This time, somehow, I put mind over matter and I am functioning much better than all of July. Keeping busy, reading books a lot helps really a lot, housework etc. I think I got a hormonal surge from all the stress I had. After all, all those tests in July found nothing. My endometrium layer was 3mm, thin and fine in July only to jump to 8mm at the end of Aug. I also had pre menstrual symptoms, like tender breasts etc, and a bit of a non bloody discharge before the period began. I spotted for two eeks nearly but now a few days ago it stopped. My breasts are back to normal as well- just like with a period. So I am trying hard to be optimistic, esp since odd are in my favor- and yours as well. And as I said, if Gd forbid it is cancer, it is most probably early stages. Lynda can maybe enlighten us more about that. I believe it is very treatable. I hope Lynda is okay health wise at least, and always will be. Lots of love to all the sisters out there in this thread.

Keep yourself busy and try hard to be calm, stress is so bad for us.

You've really been through it lana - I think you're probably right about the stress. I've had similar symptoms to yours with pains where my legs meet my body and lower abdominal pain - very mild.  My bleed happened after an unbelievable stressful month and I'm hoping that's all it was. One gyny (male) said it wasn't possible to have a bleed due to stress but the one I saw yesterday for my biopsy (female) said it was. So ????  Would like your opinions on this ladies: I'm 52 and my last smear or PAP test was 3 years ago. I asked the biopsy doc to do me a smear test whilst she was in there but she refused and said that because I am over 50, I only get one every 5 years. But surely after a post-meno bleed I should get the cervix checked out?  I checked with her and the biopsy was only for the endometrium, not the cervix. Should I insist on getting one?

Jane, I heard that stress can cause a surge in Estrogen. Seems logical to me. Here we are told to get a Pap once a year. I would insist. Especially with bleeding. It finds precancerous cells, so why wait till they become something else? Even doing privately if they refuse. I still have to have my yearly mammogram and breast US in Oct. And hope all is normal there and wait for results...last year they found a lump, which they were 95 percent sure was just a benign fatty lump, but took a biopsy to be safe. Needless to say that it was also very stressful, so now I am phobic with my boobs as well. Seems it never ends.

Hoping all of our biopsies are nothing...

Yes, you've confirmed what I was thinking, thank you lana. My biopsy report said: "Atrophic endometial cavity. Some vesicular areas over the posterior wall." Does anyone know what all that means? Should I be worried? I know I need to wait for the results but just wondered if anyone else had anything similar. I felt so awful after the biopsy that I wasn't able to question the Dr.

Did you google the terminology? This is one of my concerns, I want to get the results in person at the gynie. Ridiculous to give results in another way.extra stress...

Yes I did. I think it's normal for the endometrial cavity to be atrophic after menopause so it's the 'vesicular areas' that I'm worried about.  Trying to just ignore it until I get the results but it's very hard when you're not sure what's happening and you're fearing the worst. The fear just ambushes me at times. Keeping busy the only answer I think....

Yes fear grabs you at times. I tried looking it up. Not much info on ventricular...when do you see the Gynie? Seems that if there were c it would say something to that effect, malignancies or previous cells... Can you make a phone call or ask a Dr you know?

Did you have US?

Thank you for looking that up lana that was really kind of you. It just means with air bubble texture I think but I don't know if it's sinister or not. I had US last week which showed 10mm lining so had biopsy.They hide the Gynys away in the hospital and it's impossible to speak to them unless you have an appointment.  I'll have to hang on and get the results by post or speak with my GP.  I was just hoping someone might have had the same thing and could tell me it would all be fine! Not working today so too much time to fret! 

up above I meant pre c cells (auto correct!). It seems okay but it is nice to hear a dr say it is def ok! Oh our worries... Have a good day, do something nice. New book etc...
