[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You again? It's ovulation. It's totally normal. Get some help for your health anxiety, please.[/quote]

DP here. Well, my gyn is making me get a pelvic TV ultrasound and an endometriol biopsy to rule out precancerous hyperplasia and endometrial or uterine cancer. She says it can be normal but before assuming it is, you have to have tests to rule out cancer. [/quote]

How old are you?[/quote]

Late forties. In perimenopause. I'm utterly confused as to why I need to get a biopsy for what I thought was normal in perimenopause, but my point is apparently it can be a bad thing and you ARE supposed to bring it up and discuss with your doctor.

And I find it offensive the "stop posting about this" person is trying to shut down women discussing their periods, spotting, perimenopause, etc. This is a health board. Women too often are told to keep any symptoms about their pelvic region quiet and to themselves. That's bad for women's health overall because then we know less about our health and society and the medical community focuses less on our issues. And labelling women as anxious has historically been a way to dismiss their health problems.[/quote]

I'm a woman in my 40's. Mid-cycle spotting is normal from the start of menstruation to menopause and has been forever. This constant reassurance-seeking is NOT normal, though. [/quote]

Well, both my gyn and my pcp disagree with you and are insisting I get it checked out.[/quote]
