Hi Laura...

Bless ya, it's really scary waiting for tests and results ... I had all that you mentioned around the same age ... for months .. they didn't send you for tests very quickly then, like they do now.. so I went private and it was pollips ... and I needed a hysterectomy ... so fingers crossed your will be pollips too ..

But try to keep as busy as you can ... I know easier said then done... but no amount of panicking will change the outcome... and it just may be o.k ... Chrissie x

Hi Chriss , thank you for your reply , I had my gyne appointment and she has said the growth is a huge polyp which has pertruded out of my cervix , she has told me that there’s nothing that she can see that is worrying her and has taken a biopsy ( waiting for the results ) and am scheduled to have it removed on the 15th of March in hospital , waiting really is so worrying , I hate it ,my mind keeps going off places that I’d rather not be thinking about ! Very scared at the moment even with the gyne reassurance that it’s just a large polyp thank you so much for your reply it means a lot to know others have experienced the same sorts of things x

Hi , sorry to jump on this post and I hope everything went ok for you , I am 51 yrs old and thought it was an age thing but after a few months of heavy periods and stomach cramps I went for my smear test which came back normal but the doctor referred me to the gynocologist about the heavy periods,  by the time I had my appointment I hadn't had a period in 3 months and she said everything felt fine , in January this year I started spotting most days but again put it down to my age ,I've just had what I thought a period which lasted 10 days and spotting since  I am due to get married in September so went back to the doctor to see if she could give me something to help stop it , anyway after she examined me she said she could see a large growth protruding from my cervix and referred me for an urgent gynocologist appointment which is in 2 weeks time ,  I seem to bleed after going to the toilet but I'm not in any pain or discomfort but I am so scared , are my symptoms anything like yours ? 

Sorry for long post , feeling lost at the moment 

Hi jackie , try not to worry to much ( I know it’s easier said than done ) but mine turned out to be a benign polyp , I had an op with just local anaesthetic and they managed to get 3/4 of the polyp out , tests have all come back negative and my bleeding and tummy ache have returned to normal ! It is such a worrying time , I was terrible scared also but everything turned out ok in the end so please try not to worry to much as it was just a polyp , the doctor didn’t know what it was just by looking but the gynaecologist knew almost straight away what it was , good luck on your appointment , you will be fine ️
