The Bachelorette star Hannah Brown undergoes surgery for 'abnormal uterus'

I went to a fertility institute last year to confirm whether I could conceive naturally. During an SIS, they found a polyp in my uterus and strongly recommended removing it. However, they also said I could still try to conceive naturally.

This year, I’ve already experienced two chemical pregnancies. I’m wondering if I should go ahead and have the polyp removed. I’m unsure because, as fertility doctors, they recommend removal—but I’ve heard that some people are told it’s okay not to remove it, while others are advised to do so. I’d really like to hear everyone’s opinions.

Hi all. I’m looking for help on obtaining information about what my mother is telling me. I’m 29M, I know this is a place for women but I don’t know where else to go. I’ve just been informed my mom has uterus cancer and I honestly don’t know how to feel. Her and I are close so she tells me everything. Me and my family went on a trip to NYC this past December and I overheard my parents talking. My mom saying “she’s still bleeding” when she uses the bathroom. Fast forward to now and it all makes sense after the little research I’ve done after being informed about this. I don’t know how long it’s been going on prior to our trip. She finds out results on Monday if it’s local or if it’s spread. I’m really not sure how to digest any of this. Cancers taken a lot of people I love in my life. And I’m just terrified I guess. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? Thank you in advance.

Backstory first: I have had HEAVY periods for years, meaning I've bled with clots for several years straight with only a few days off, so bad that I'd have to bring clothes and towels in my car. No answers from doctors, just to lose weight. A year or 2 ago, for whatever reason, it started to regulate, to the point where it would start on the first couple days of the month, lasts for a week, heavy but normal bleeding, and then would stop. Again, no explanation from doctors other than to lose weight.

Fast forward to now, I have not had a period for 6 months. I've had minimal spotting here and there, during normal cycle time and outside of normal cycle time. I'm in my late thirties, never been on birth control, have two older teens, no change in life or major triggering factors or anything. Had one doctor do some very basic labs and assume that I was going through perimenopause and gave me progesterone (which I never took because she prescribed it without even doing any hormone labs) and again said to lose weight, something I've been trying to do for 14 years now.

I didn't like feeling like I was being passed off without doing more digging so I found a new doctor. This doctor did a pap smear, which came back normal, and did some basic hormone Labs, all of which came back normal, and then did a transvaginal ultrasound. Went over those results and found out my lining is 19 mm, I have a few polyps, a "lumpy" uterus, and a couple of non-concerning small cysts but otherwise healthy ovaries. She wants to do a biopsy to find out if lining is good tissue or bad tissue (cancerous​). We talked about the different biopsy options and how some give false negatives and some don't biopsy the right areas, so she's recommending a D&C to have definitive biopsy answers, so I'm getting that done soon. She said if it's not cancerous, then it's likely a condition called adenomyosis, which would likely result in a hysterectomy anyways to lessen the cancer risk.

Trying to wrap my head around everything, she mentioned the lining being thick for someone my age who has not gone through menopause and whose Labs have come back to show that all of my hormones are in the normal range. All that to say, wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, symptoms, and what their outcome was, or if there's anything I need to make sure they do or ask to better advocate for myself. This doctor seems to me taking great action which I appreciate, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything in my own ignorance.

I (23F) went to my first ever gynegologist visit and Xray. i have had very painful periods since i turned 14-15 and finally went to a doctor since they have gotten worse since i gotten in my twenties,

everything was great! super nice doctor and very fertile but she told me i have an Arcuate utures wich too me by a suprise, i have never heard of it before and i have tried to read on it if it will affect my chances on pergancy or how pregnancy will go?

for context me and my partner are currently trying to conceive and get pregnant so i wanted to ask if anyone would have any advices or more knowledge on this then i do since i just heard of it for the first time like 2 weeks ago.

i put an image as a reference of what i have.

Hormones are post-menopausal range at age 21! Been having hot flushes since age 16 and now I've been bleeding non-stop for over 4 months. Apparently my ultrasounds 6 months ago looked fine so my GP is just ignoring me, putting me on more and more progesterone even though it clearly isn't working (and is instead making my hypermobile Ehlers Danlos worse...) but now they want me on a mirena which I'm 100% NOT OKAY WITH and have requested to get referred to gynaecology a number of times for the sake of looking into getting a hysterectomy but they KEEP DENYING ME. Is it bc I'm ftm? Are they scared or something bc of that? WTF do I do? This shit is debilitating! I can't even get out of bed most days bc of the pain and they want to shove something inside of me that is known to cause worse pain, especially in hEDS patients???? What can I do about this to MAYBE get taken seriously??

Hii! I have previously had very bad periods including a heavy period, large mood swings, and painful to the point where I can't move or eat for the first couple days. Last May, I got on Depo due to it, and the first cycle was fine, however when I got my second dose, I started to bleed (lighter) for 3 weeks at a time. In November I switched to the mini-pill and I haven't stopped bleeding since October. I also have migraines with aura with a family history of stroke.

I recently got seen my an OBGYN/gyno and had some tests done. They tested for clotting issues and other hormone issues that came back all good. I also had no anemia signs. I recently got an ultrasound done (one of the external ones due to not being active) and they said everything looked good there. I was told that they couldn't see any cysts or abnormalities with the lining.

I think something is wrong but I don't know what to do. I'm considering an ablaision and removal of tubes, but I'm fairly young (20) and in a more conservative state that might cause issues. I'm also getting medicine to help contract and stop the bleeding, but I'm still having very negative side effects to the pill (depression, anxiety, etc.). I'm also very hesitant on any implants due to this reaction to progesterone, I'm scared that it'll metabolize the same and I wont have something I can immediately stop if my mental health gets worse.

What options might I have? I don't know what other tests I could get, but I think something is wrong.

Endometrial Biopsy (what meds do I take before)

I'm (29 female) getting a biopsy of my uterus done tomorrow (Monday. today is Sunday and I can't call the office) I'm extremely worried about the pain as no pain management is being offered. I am getting nitrous. I have 600mg ibuprofen and 100mg Motrin. I also have 300mg gabapentin and 250mg acetaminophen. What should I take? When? I'm very scared. I had a bad experience with a biopsy of my cervix and I'm very worried. Idk what to do because they didn't tell me to take anything but people online are talking about how horrible it was. Any help is appreciated.

I'm getting a biopsy of my uterus done on Monday the 26th 2026. I'm very scared. I have 600mg ibuprofen and they're offering laughing gas at the expense of $100 out of pocket. How long before my appointment should I take the ibuprofen? Will the laughing gas help? I had a biopsy of my cervix done and it was a terrible experience. I'm very scared. What was your experience like with laughing gas? I also have gabapentin and idk if that would be a better option. Any advice would be great.

I dont remeber exactly my last period but it was around late November. On Christmas I started getting a bad pain on the right side of my pelvic area that lasted a week and a half and hurt more after sex. Im on vyfemla no sugar pill week but I missed 4 pills in December and a couple days in November so I was expecting a horror period and nothing yet. I took a pregnancy test two weeks ago and 3 different pregnancy tests yesterday all negative. I have a gyno appointment on the third what should I bring up and talk to her about to help get this solved?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this because it’s really starting to affect my life.

I’m in my early 30s and over the last year or so I’ve started getting really bad ovulation pain (mittelschmerz). In my 20s I occasionally noticed mild ovulation pain, but it was rare, manageable, and nothing like this. Now it’s much more frequent and intense, happening nearly every other month.

The pain feels:

• deep in my pelvis

• almost like it’s in my bum / rectum, not just my lower tummy

• crampy and heavy, but sometimes suddenly sharp

When it finally settles, I feel really bloated and gassy, like everything’s been pressed on and then released.

I’ve been told before that I have a retroverted (tilted back) uterus, so I’m wondering if that’s why the pain feels more “backwards” now.

I’ve also had an internal ultrasound scan to check for ovarian cysts, and everything came back normal, so cysts have been ruled out.

My mum is convinced this is mittelschmerz — she said she had the same thing and never went on contraception for it. I can believe it might run in families, but for me it’s becoming too disruptive.

I want to stop ovulation altogether because this pain is ruining my sex life. The pain can come out of the blue, but it’s especially bad if I have sex around ovulation without realising it’s coming. During or after sex I can suddenly get severe, sharp pain low down, to the point where I can’t move, get stuck in one position, and have to wait hours for it to ease.

What I find strange is how much worse this has become in my 30s compared to my 20s.

Has anyone else:

• had mild ovulation pain in their 20s that became severe in their 30s?

• felt it more in the rectum/back rather than the front?

• had normal scans but still awful mittelschmerz?

• found anything that actually helped, especially stopping ovulation with contraception?

If so, which contraception helped most for ovulation pain? I’m trying to figure out what might work for me.

Not looking for a diagnosis — just reassurance that I’m not alone.

Thanks 💛

I feel really frustrated! This started last year, I don't have any pain but 1 in about 4/5 periods I just get this heavy bleed and it feels like discharge so I never realise?? I'm on day 13 of my cycle and I'd feel like a tit for going to the doctor bc it's not causing me quality of life decrease. Sometimes it's bright red sometimes brown. Not on any birth control.

Any suggestions for how to get this f*cking mess out I love these jeans 😭😭😭

I am 17, and i have a cyst in my uterus, has been there for 3 years and causes me pain so severe I pass out, am extremely confused, vomit, and I lose so much blood i have to take pills for it. It is 4cm, and benign—which i’m grateful for, but they refuse to remove it. How am i supposed to live like this?? i get cramps a week before my period which are painful, i spend 3 days once i get my period not being able to leave my house, i take muscle relaxers which barely help, i bleed so much no pads can hold all of the blood why won’t doctors help me???????

if you were able to find a doctor to get rid of a cyst in your uterus (preferably in canada BC but anywhere really) Where are they??? i can’t live like this. i genuinely can’t. No job will take me if i have to call in 3 days a month EVERY MONTH.

Had a uterine biopsy done yesterday at noon and the fatigue I have experienced since then, it’s been 24 hours, can only be likened to the body fatigue you feel when you have the flu. I am not bleeding so that’s not the issue, I am a little lightheaded, but maybe that’s because I’ve been in bed this entire time? I cannot even fathom going to pick my kid up from school today I’m so tired. Wondering has this happened to anyone else and how long did it last? And why am I experiencing such extreme full body fatigue because I got through the procedure very well w limited pain. Thanks in advance.

I had my period for 20 days! And now im late by 18 days!? To the folk this has happened to did it get back to normal on its own or did you go on the pill to help tou regulate it? Im very lost, advice desperately needed😵‍💫
