Hi all, I have been suffering with very heavy periods with blood clots. This has got worse within the last year and I have also bled occasionally between periods. I had an ultrasound scan which showed a bulky uterus and possible fibroids. Just before Christmas I was feeling very ill and they took blood tests and I was sent in the same day for a blood transfusion as I was so anaemic. They told me in the hospital they wanted to rule out anything sinister so would hurry up the hysteroscopy I was meant to be having. I had been waiting 11 months by that point. I then had a hysteroscopy under local anesthetic but they said my cervix was too tight for them to do it or to obtain the endometrial biopsy. So was told I would need to have it done under general anesthetic. I have now been for the follow-up appointment and seen a different consultant and she basically said my options were either the mirena coil put in during hysteroscopy or a laser ablation. She basically said there was no point having the hysteroscopy if I didn't have the mirena coil. I have quite a few reasons for not wanting the mirena coil, but i just want the peace of mind in knowing that there is nothing "sinister" going on by having the biopsy and hysteroscopy. Should I just not bother to have the hysteroscopy and biopsy if I don't want the coil? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Can only have a hysteroscopy if I have a mirena coil.
