As you are getting medical help I'm not sure what this forum can offer you other than hoping the outcome is a good one. I would push for a quicker test though - a GP is not an expert in this field and if you had a biopsy some months ago this is an ongoing issue.

Presumably when you say post menopausal, you had not had a period for at least 12 months when you had your first scan in April? so that would be April 2019 or earlier when you last had a normal period.

If you are having ongoing bleeding like this it actually sounds as if you are not post menopause.

If you had a biopsy in April, and it was clear, it's highly unlikely that you have uterine cancer which is what the scan and biospy looks for, as it doesn't develop in 6 months.

How old are you?

But are you actually post menopausal? Your heading says it's about post meno bleeding, not your ovarian cyst, so a bit confused. :)
