I had the most horrific period ever last month, two weeks after my last one ended. I was bleeding so heavily, and for so long, I could barely leave the bathroom. Went to my lovely GP who did blood tests and sent me for a scan for fibroids. Scan has now come back showing tiny, inconsequential fibroids but thickened womb lining (19mm) and what could be a polyp of about 17mm in size. As a result of this I was referred on a 2 week wait to a gynae and have my appointment next week. I’ve made the schoolgirl error this evening of googling my symptoms and am now in an awful flap having convinced myself this could be a sign of something sinister.
Lovely Mumsnetters have any of you had similar? Did your’s prove to be harmless? I’m 47 and have had slightly erratic periods for a while. Sometimes heavy (although nothing like last one) and normally every 3-4 weeks. I could do with losing a few pounds but am averagely healthy and have 2 kids (hence my post googling panic). Any reassurance or experiences would be most appreciated. I’m not normally a huge worrier but the fact I was referred with such haste has really unsettled me xx
