Everything is fine!! I went in for my appt at 8:30 this morning. She told me right away that this was nothing terrible but something to take care of. I was SO happy and told her how scared I had been waiting. And she felt bad. She said usually she would have just called but she needed to give me a prescription.

So my biopsy was normal but showed that I'm not ovulating even though I get periods some months and the irregular bleeding. Too much estrogen and not even progesterone. This was my best case scenario!! Too much estrogen can make the uterine lining too thick and set up an area for cancer to grow. So she is putting me on a capsule of Prometrium (Progesterone) everynite for 12 days a month to regulate my hormones.

From what I've read and I've been doing ALOT of reading, this can be very common in perimenopause. I am so so relieved.

Thank you so much for the support!! I know how it feels to wait for these tests so I hope I can give support to anyone who needs it.

Hi shisslak,

Welcome! Waiting for these test results are not any fun but it really helps to share with others that are going thru the same things.

You asked "I am wondering if the issue of high estrogen and endometrial thickning are related." Yes they are. If you have high estrogen and low progesterone your lining could thicken. That is what my endo biopsy showed. Now I am taking Prometrium (progesterone) 12 nights a month. I've only taken it 1 month so far and start again on Saturday. So far I have no problems with it and it makes me sleep really well. Adding the progesterone should help in ovulation in order to shed the lining. I have no info on the MRI.

Best Wishes on your test results and keep us updated.
