To be freaking out waiting for womb biopsy results ?

[janicegarvey]

A few months ago I had an ultrasound due to experiencing light spotting after my periods (I'm 44) . I was advised I had a thickened womb lining and to have a hysteroscopy. I was going to pay privately and get it done immediately but was £2500 but the gynae said based on my ultrasound it was ok to wait on the nhs as she felt it was non urgent. So I decided to wait and I had it done a week ago today.

I have severe health anxiety and it's honestly destroying me, I am struggling to sleep and eat or think about anything else

I wish I'd paid private a few months ago 😩 then if was good news I'd know by now and could have moved on. or if it wasn't I'd be being treated etc

I'm going away on holiday 2 weeks today and I can't even look forward to it. I mean imagine if I've still not had the results by then or worse if it's bad news . I'm just so scared.

Hey.
I just called the secretary and she said a letter was sent last week which I never received but she said the results are normal. Finally after 9 weeks of waiting, I can finally move forward and rule my symptoms down to just one of those things. (Been getting bleeding between periods for 3 years since having my daughter and changes to periods). Phewww I feel like a weight has been lifted.
Thanks for all your support. Xx

That's brilliant news I'm so glad. I knew it would be fine, thank goodness

I do think it's awful that you were left waiting for so long though. I genuinely still feel traumatised by my wait and I'm considering complaining to be honest as it's fucked my mental health so much.

It's awful isn't it.
It definitely robbed me of joy the last few weeks. It's bad enough i had to wait 12 months on the wait list to even see the consultant!!.
