ultrasound showed thickening of the lining of the womb

no carol, not had that done yet...it doesn't sound nice though and i'm trying not to google it lol...but good luck on tues i hope they get what they need xx

Good luck carol is it a hysteroscopy you're having done? Xx

Please please do not worry my womb lining is thick too mri showed it at 11 mm and I've got to have a hysteroscopy as a small clot showed up as well.thick lining can be common and nothing to worry about it but they like to check that's all.i had one but it failed as got too uncomfortable so I have to have a GA next time.im not sure if endo causes a thick womb lining but I have suffered very heavy periods all my life clots galore ! 3 scans showed lining but nothing to worry about I think it's normal in some women xx

Please Do Not Google Its all the worst scenarios on there !! Believe me I've had uterine cancer ovarian cancer bloody everything Google diagnosed me and it was in fact endometriosis xx do not worry xxx

I guess I worry much more because it had been 19 mos since last period and I am post menopause and had a heavy period after 19 months of not having one thats why i'm seriously scared out of my wits! Don't know if my situation is like anyone elses here the post menopause bleeding and have thick lining.  I did not know they can measure it with MRI. My first biospy of the uterus failed too in office trying again Tuesday because my cervix is closed. Anyone got it done in office with a closed cercvix?  they are giving you under GA will that be done in office or operating room? 

In hospital my next one tho I would much prefer another try at local like you.im in UK are you ? I have read it's common in post menopausal women to experince this and the majority it's all turned out good and I read a lot lol !! I'm

On norethesterone to stop my bleeding I had in March but having a weeks break and my period is the worst its ever been with flooding and huge clots this has scared me too,but I've read (googled ) this can happen while being on these tablets ! Xx

well I'm not on any tablets or HRT. Michellestar you are not post menopause correct? I live in Kentucky USA. Tuesday in the office when he tries my again my gyn is going to try giving me shots in cervix to try and numb me not sure if that will help or not my cervix is closed. Has anyone else here had the shots in cervix to numb it for a uterus biospy and did it help? Please respone if you have.

I'm having a uterus biospy done in office this will be my second attempt. I'm sure he will look with that powerful magnifying glass not sure though

I do want to know whats going on but im not overly stressing about it. There are lots of reasons for bleeding and thick lining after menopause, only 10% are anything serious.It can be polyps, fibroids, hyperplasia. Hyperplasia  takes ten to twelve years from the time it begins to grow for it to develop into endometrial cancer, so i feel that the odds of anything serious are in my favour......if not its the type of cancer thats usually curable. Thats the way im looking at it anyway.

the scan showed cysts were id had a c section for my twins 8 years ago bit no fibroids at all so i. worried as if iv bled for so long how come my lining is so very thick. il just have to see were i go from here, but being as my bleeding has stooed im a bit more relieved for now.

I think the same in March I had a heavy 3 week bleed and after my lining was 11mm but I got told it can go up to 15-20 mm wen due on a period and lowers right back down when period is finished.but I thought why is my lining at 11 mm when I have been heavily bleeding fro three weeks doesn't seem right !! X

Anything over normal im sure they would biopsy. There's no point in having a normal range otherwise.

No I haven't had it done yet..as I said in the last post I'm waiting for the scan results to get to my doctors, then he will decide on the next cause of action

I think they are a little bit more concerned post menopause but its only slight.you will be fine I'm sure it's so common xx

My biospy of the uterus is Tuesday and I have had fear so strong I can hardly stand it and getting worse!! My cervix is closed making it even worse!  I'm having it done in office again this is second attempt, this time i think I will just do the shots in the cervix and try to bare it. HAS anyone had the shots in the cervix and did it help any? He said he can give me something to dialate the uterus what does that mean? I can't swallow anything that would do that can I? Isn't there a tool they use and why doesnt he have it! I also read on internet they use a spray to numb cercix if that be the case why does he only say shots? Please respond as soon as possible because I am about to jump out of my skin going to be a long night and tomorrow I dont even know! 

Hi carol.....it may be a good idea to call and ask whoever is doing the procedure exactly what it all entails. Tell them how anxious you are and they my be able to put your mind at rest a bit more.

Ive now got to have the same done in the next two weeks so you can tell me all about it soon.....no gruesome facts though

We sound similar jacky - 3-4 weeks for results. 17mm thickening but I am only 46 so he wasn't sure if I should worry or not. 

I hope owe it is all good for you all.
