Period again after none for 2 years?

that is excellent new. In other parts of the world we have to wait up to a MONTH for results. You are so blessed, for the health and for getting such quick results. I just went through a biopsy and then a few onths later, I had a second bleed. I was sent to do a hysteroscopy under General Anaesthesia and was told that results would be in a month. I was luck for getting results within two weeks, and esp as they were negative. Thanks so much for sharing- it is uplifting.

How long did your bleeds last? Were they like your regular monthly? I am sorry you had to worry for such a long time...but so glad your results were negative.

First time I had PMS symptoms and a very light bleed for two weeks, spotting really. Then four months later even lighter spotting for about a week or less. I was noisy for a few weeks before it. I'm 55 and had my last period about a year before the first bleed.

Can you insist on speaking to the Dr? Even just go there and insist? I'm sure it's standard but for us it seems personal and scary.

No, insisting does nothing. This clinic says it is not their policy to allow me to have phone conversations with the doctor. My husband asked if this is policy foe everyone or just certain situations but they just keep saying I need the appointment. The clinic is over an hour away in another town. 

Wow I can talk to my doctor on the phone plus hes called me and if he's busy they leave him a message and he calls me back!  I live in Kentucky . I'm totally surprised your Dr.  policy is so different I'm so sorry to hear that!

Contact the head of the clinic.  Demand to know why?? I just did the same with a major teaching hospital.  I asked what is the appropriate manner in which to contact doctors about their practice or research.  You are paying their salaries one way or another.  Don't be afraid to ask WHY!!!

I am in 100% in agreement with Beth86610!

Ok everyone I have good news! My husband called and basically said how far away we live from the clinic and that I'd be driving with our children. He said he did not want me receiving bad news alone and then driving home 'mindless' with the kids in the vehicle, so could they please tell him something.....anything. He also said that our roads were bad and if the appointment was not urgent, we'd like to wait.

They got back to him and said the results showed nothing abnormal. The doctor just wants to follow up with me. No need for further testing. I could wait to see the doctor in April after our family holidays! Praise the Lord! I am so happy! Happy that I am ok, happy for prayer, happy I found this forum and can give others hope.

And I am so grateful for the encouragement and support on here. I hope to pay it forward.

Praise the Lord! I got so excited for you I started clapping my hands and a huge smile on my face!!!! I thanked the Lord too! 

God is good! So glad you reveived good results!

Thank you so much! It really made ME smile that someone I had never met was excited for me and grateful to God for his mercy on a stranger. (((-:

God is so awesome! There is power in prayer and we all know and have experienced the fear which is pure torment that the enemy tries to put on us! We are sisters in Christ and here for each other 24/7!  God is our ultimate healer.

I will be back after my appointment in April to share what he said. At this time, from what my husband learned,  it seems that when we are in Post-meno, the endometrial lining continues to break down until there is none. As it thins, there can be disruption of the blood vessels underneath which can cause bleeding. It is common and apparently one of the [u]first[/u] things suspected, although they want to immediately rule out anything else and therefore the need to check for begnin polyps, etc. and endometrial thickening, which isn't necessarily a problem either if there has been a recent hormone surge. (Found it interesting that thyroid fluctuations are common in Post-meno and can affect estrogen which can in turn cause surges and incidents that lead to thickening and shedding of endometrium. Ovulation doesn't need to occur at all for this to happen.) The u/s showed my lining at 3.5mm I think he said, which is normal. So I am expecting he will tell me I am  in the 'thinning' category. I gather there are ways to deal with it if the bleeding or discomfort is a problem. But basically it isn't a big deal and may never happen again. My question for him will be why it went 5 days and followed the pattern of a regular period, ie., breast tenderness, cm a week prior. However, if it is normal for the lining to break down Post meno, then perhaps we go through cycles and just aren't aware of it until something 'shows'. Wouldn't that be interesting. If true, then women are going through something normal that just needs a routine check, in case...and not the panic it is causing.

Wish the medical community online, the top ranking sites, would change the way their information is presented, to let women know ALL the things it probably is, including thyroid (which I never saw anywhere), before stating the most scarey possibility. Surely they can say it is necessary to go to the Dr. and a) rule it out for peace of mind, or b) catch it in time in the low percentage case, that it is life-threatening, without all the drama.

Then women would still be wanting to be safe rather than sorry without going through needless anxiety and fear for weeks and months. And some may never go at all out of dread and miss something important or live in terror for nothing. 

I believe God had a reason for me to go through all this and I learned a lot. Including to trust him more than Google.....(shame on me). Thanks to everyone who kept telling me to stop reading the negative. God bless all of you on here with peace and calm. Will repost in a couple months. Take care.

Thank you Tracey!

Excellent news. Glad to read!

Amen❤️

So here I am nearly 2 months from when this all started and here I am having another 'period'. I already know the results are all negative. So I wanted to let others know that apparently this happens to totally normal women that are post menopausal. I am not in peri at all. FSH is too high and one ovary is so shrunken it couldn't even be seen on u/s. I have all the symptoms of a period again too. This will prob last 5 days and then stop again. If anything different happens I'll post. Will be interesting to hear what my Dr. says in April. 

I had the same happen to me, four months post biopsy, another period, another dr visit. She sent me to have a hysteroscopy under general Anaesthesia, had to wait over a month for that. Then the biopsy wait. Results were fine. I am still scared of suddenly seeing another period. 

So this latest is already over. Nothing more after a bit yesterday. Dr said thinning of the lining due to low estrogen a leading cause with women post meno and not to worry if it shows up again. The only time it could become a 'problem' is if it happens a lot or lasts a long time, then I could consider estrogen therapy. He wants me to keep him posted but says it's nothing serious. He said I may see it again a time or two, I may not. Again all tests negative, nothing irregular and my lining was very thin. 

Briefly talked to my doctor about the one day incident. Again he repeated all was normal. I asked what he wanted to see my about in April and he said it was just to have a face to face and make sure I wasn't worried or stressing when I didn't need to be. He said if I didn't want to come in, it was up to me. But he said he'd like to discuss anything else related to my health that I may have questions about. He is just a little older than my husband and I and says all kinds of little things occur as we get older that usually end up being no big deal. He said if we know what some of the common things are, we will panic less....and Google less.

Hope this message helps someone. (((-:

what a lovely and supportive dr. What a blessing.
