ultrasound showed thickening of the lining of the womb

After bein gib on Omeprezole for a while it made my symptoms worse and gave me terrible gas!

Hi Carol, mine was an untrasound scan....im guessing i may have to have a travnsvaginal one next....not sure though....it will take about 10 days now for my dr to get the results of my scan ...then i will wait ages for a gyno appointment...things will be pretty slow is my guess...i have been perimenopausal for a few years now.

Deardoe mines the same and been like this for about 2 years...no sign of it easing up though...i wear 3 pads and a tampax...they all flood within an hr....horrible it is...i think if i get refered for a hystorectomy i will have one just to be done with the lot of it.

I'm like This Jane and also suffer huge clots ! Do you get this?my bad days last 3 days flooding then gets lighter and I'm not sure if progesterone is helping or not as my weeks break period this month the clots were like tennis balls !!! I'm 49 x

I suffer terribly with my periods too after a 3 week bleed in March Dr put me on norethesterone which stopped it but the weeks breaks where I have a period are horrendous huge clots and so so heavy 2 towels worn at all torn and flood every single time xx

Im in the same boat as you.......post menopause with a slightly thick lining...dont know what slightly means. Now ive got to wait for my doctor to recieve the results and decide what to do. The sonographer was questioning if i am peri or post because i has symptoms of ovulation 2 weeks before a light 2 day period. Its been 2 years since my last period.

No doubt this will drag on for a while

yes michelle, but the clots are not huge though...i just lose lots of blood for the first 3 days....its like i have wet myself..you could ring the pads out and i can't go out anywere incase it comes through my clothes,...no wonder we are all tired...the iron tablets seem to help..but they do make me feel a bit sick.

oh i know how you feel Carol, it's a waiting worrying game now....anyway i will be sure to put my fianl outcome on here..just to update everyone of my outcome, in the hope it will help other woman out who have the same problem...i am going to try not to worry until i have fianl results....so i shall be back for sure in a month or so x

Forgott to say i am 48 x

Jane, i would think the sonographer was just telling you your lining was thick .....because it was..... not because he thinks that it is a problem, you are peri and bleeding heavy so its not going to be thin. He is probably refering you to the gyno to help with the bleeding

When i was scanned when i was 45 two dermoid cysts were found, he also said i had very thick lining but nothing was ever done about that, and i didnt think anything of it, they just the removed the cysts.

I had really heavy bleeding at your age, i ended up going to a&e as i though i would run out blood!, they kept me in for the day and sent me home with a packet of pills....no scan just an internal.

So what im trying to say is dont worry.

Thanks Jacky, thats good to know and thanks i will try not to worry too much about it, how long did your heavy periods last..and how are you now x

I cant really remember how long it lasted, a good few weeks i think. I spent most of the time on the toilet. Everybody goes through different experiences  in peri...a good poo could start me bleeding for some reason redface

Im doing ok thanks.

Hi Jane,I went through this scare in my thirties,went in for a pelvic,doc sent me in for an ultrasound,i was freaked out for a few weeks as I had to have a biopsy. Turned out its fairly normal to have thickening of the lining for some women. I had heavy periods also. Only thing I did have was fibroid that I never had removed. Im now almost 60. After menopause fibroids usually shrink down to nothing. Xx

Thanks lee, i hope its nothing...i have just had a call fro the drs as they got my results today and need to discuss it with me.My appointment is on monday afternoon...so will UPDATE then xx

Jane, did they give you some kind of assuarnce and what it was, and then say they would discuss it Monday or told you nothing?

I had the same happen to me a call and I made an appt to see Dr good luck and please update Monday xx

No carol they just said i need to come in and dicuss it...i said i already know i have thickening in my womb so tell the dr to just refer me to a gynogologist, and she said NO you need to come in and see the dr x

will do michelle..good luck at your appointment and let me know how u get on x
