Help! Fibroids/Polyps/Looong Periods

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has had a hysteroscopy? I just had one b/c my periods were very irregular. It started by having my cycle a month long then going on BC to stop it. After that, I had an ultrasound that showed I have a fibroid. Although it's not a large one, I'm still having problems.

After I used BC (just one month) to stop the bleeding. I was still irregular. This time, I would bleed 5 days--stop for a week---spot 2 days and quit---bleed 3 days---then nothing for 2 weeks...on and on it's been.

I opted to have a hysteroscopy and my dr found polyps and possibly another fibroid in my cervix. She also had a hard time dialating my cervix and found it VERY difficult to navigate b/c it's more like an "s" shape and the canula they use to view is not flexible. I also had a D&C at that time hoping to correct some things.

Well, here it is 1 month later and my first cycle after the D/C is on day 10. I'm clotting like crazy and don't understand why?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? My dr. said I don't have any type of cancer (good news for sure!) but I still don't feel right!!

Thanks for reading and responding!

Welcome!


I've never had a hysteroscopy before.
