A polyp in the Uterus?

When will it get easier? I went today for my 3 year check up and while she was doing the ultrasound wand she said “ oh something is there looks like a polyp? Come in next month so we can confirm it”

I have had polyps in the past and removed them ( so it increases my chance of getting pregnant during my IVF cycles ) it’s been two years since I removed a polyp and very upsetting to know it may have come back again.

I have been googling all afternoon that “ they are usually non cancerous growths but sometimes can grow into cancer or be cancer” I have been in a daze all afternoon the rational part of my brain says I’m ok than the other said says “ say it is!!??” SAy I’m in that small % that it turns to be the C word?

The timing of my check up isn’t the best, I was told on Thursday dad has prostrate cancer and I think that C word has been heavy on my mind. I couldn’t cancel this appointment.

I have been looking to see a therapist in my area as I really feel I’m losing my mind and my anxiety is at the highest it’s been in years.

Would like to hear other women who had polyps and were just fine x

I have 2 for the last 20 years and the only problem was heavy bleeding during perimenopause. Haven’t taken them off yet but will probably have to do it soon. Don’t worry, it’s very common and if necessary they will remove it.

Hi Layla,

Try not to worry. I've had a polyp. It was there for a few years before anyone did anything about it. I was worried too but it turned out to be fine. The gynaecologist told me that they are rarely cancerous. When someone close to you is diagnosed with cancer it's easy to let your imagination and fear take over. As hard as it is, try not to let those fears overtake you. I believe uterine polyps are very common.

I don't have much to offer but I hope this helps a little.

Thank you so so much ladies, your replies have put me at ease. Last night I convinced myself I was very sick and I spoke to another doctor today and she told me 99% they are harmless.

I think the C word is heavy on my mind and I’m not thinking straight at all. Everything and anything is much worse than it actually is. Need to be stronger for my family and my dad x
