Period again after none for 2 years?

I got my test results back. My biopsy was normal, yay but I do have thickening in my uterus and I have developed polyps. I go to the doctor on Monday again, the polyps need to be removed I don't know what this all entails.

I had the same thing happen to me.  I just went and did my internal and external ultrasound I was worried sick.  But it turned out I was fine and it was a small fibroid.  I am 52.  Don't worry just go and get it checked.  I feel so much better.:0

Hi Im 50 yrs old and after having a heavy 10 day bleed ‘period’ 2 years after my last one (with my usual normal period symptoms)

I became worried and visited my GP who booked me an internal scan,

3 weeks later I had the scan and my GP contacted me and told me I should urgently come in to see him as the results showed an endometrial lining of 12.4mm and that I have endometrial hyperplasia which now needs a biopsy carried out to rule our cancer (which he wrongly said to me at that time that I could have a 50/50 chance of having cancer)

I got a very quick appointment with a gynaecologist who told me it is actually just a 10% chance, which made me feel a bit better but I was still worried sick,

She took a biopsy there and then and told me the results could take up to 2 weeks,

Well the results actually took 3 weeks and that was with me making a few phone calls to chase them up and the results showed NO cancerous cells which was obviously a great relief,

I have a follow up appointment scan booked for 3 months time, I suppose to

check if the thickness of the lining has changed,

The reason I’m taking the time to post this is because when I was out of my mind with worry I found this website thread and it gave me hope that so many other women had also had bleeding so long after their last period,

which made me feel a lot better, also some ladies had not come back on to share their results so I wanted to let anyone else know that it’s not always the worst news,

And something else quite interesting was that before this bleed I was suffering the worst hot flushes and mood swings for around a year but they have now magically disappeared after the bleed, I hope it stays that way,

*But PLEASE get yourself checked out if you suffer one of these late bleeds as it mustn’t be ignored !

I have just had the same experience at 51 years. does it continue. I really felt like a teenager once again. Not a good feeling with two teenage girls.

My breasts were very tender and the period lasted a whole 7 days. It ended with stabbing pains towards the centre and lower breast area on the LHS. Just happy its over hoping it doesnt come back. 😁

Hi ladies,

I have been silently following this forum for the last 3 weeks, following going to the GP with my mum after she had some post menstrual bleeding which lasted up to 3 days. Prior to that she was experiencing pre period pains in her chest etc which she used to get when she used to have her periods. Anyways so we went to the GP three weeks ago with her symptoms and prior to this occasion she had bled before but never got this seen to. However during the consultation the GP told her she would need an urgent two week referral to gynaelogy to rule out cancer. This obviously scared me and I know deep down it scared my mum too. For the first couple days I was worried sick especially after googling her symptoms which all led to cancer. However I then came across this forum and literally read every single comment. The more and more I read the more reassured and comforted I was that this was 'normal'. So I thank the lady that started this forum as i can see that it has reassured so many women! 2 weeks on I went with my mum to the hospital today where she had a hysteroscopy and an ultrasound which they said looked healthy and fine. They also took a biopsy to be sure. So we are just waiting on the results from the biopsy.

So please for those who are worrying, please be reassured that this is very very common and your chances of cancer are very slim. Only 1 in 10 are there causes for concern.

I will update you all with the results from the biopsy but so far so good.

And thank you alllllll for helping me through this very difficult time. Remember our bodies are strange and sometimes things happen and there is no explanation. I guess we always wrongly assume the worse.

Don't spend time worrying until there comes a time when you need to! Xx

I am 57yrs and It's been 4 years since my last period. In February this year i had a one off bleed. Saw a Gynaecologist who did a trans vaginal u/s which was normal. A few weeks later I had a hysteroscopy and a D&C which was also normal. A month ago I had a small bleed and nothing after that. A week ago I had some brown spotting and now have had a full on period with heavy bleeding and clots for the past 3 days. Have had another u/s which is no different to the one in February. Pretty worried about this. Has anyone my age been through this?

Had test last year docs confirmed that hormone level is high going through change early 50s no period over year and this month last few days blood thought blood in my wee! I've had nasty throat bug 2 time going around had fever last night slept from 9p.m. till 8 :30 am but also my periods started to begin very light. Getting worried thought might be urine infection after finding this web site put my mind at rest.. But for you to have 2 yrs no period and starting periods again guess could be slow process of transition in the menipose as we are all different then starting again might be best just to inform your doc put your mind at rest.

last period 22 months ago. i am now 52 yo.

two weeks ago i started having the worst breast pain... more just the nipples. my clothes even hurt.

i remember thinking it was like during ovulation back when i had my periods.

fast forward to yesterday... home with a terrible cold and feeling like complete crp. i go to pee and find i have brown discharge.... then pink a little while later followed by some minimal red spotting. here it is Christmas Eve and I am freaking out.

not a full period.... just spotting thus far.

please pray for me... feeling overwhelmed as i have severe health anxiety.

here’s a question: how do we know if maybe we did spot or bleed slightly in the time of our last period and just didn’t notice it? For example when we get up in the middle of the night to urinate I don’t necessarily look very closely ... and doctors say that any spotting needs to be counted as blood and to start the count over for those 12 months. hope that makes sense.

it would have to happen over Christmas!

thanks, Natasham2!

I'm doing my best.... having bad cramps and keep thinking a full blown period is gonna start but so far, just spotting every few hours.

Figures it would happen over Christmas too....

please pray for me and i will keep all of you in my Christmas prayers as well!

following up. I was sure today the period would have come full on...i am having bad left ovary pain. i have tried exercising and even a hot bath to see if i could get things started. Nothing but a spot here and there (light pink)... and i admit sometimes i i even try going in a little deeper with toilet paper to see if I spot... sometimes i do, sometimes i dont.

Did you also have bad period cramps?? why is it hurting but still mo big bleeding?

worried out of my mind.
