So scared!! Can anyone please help!!
Wondering if anyone can help me. I'm 35, had a baby three months ago by csection. I've yet to have a period but have been spotting and cramping and in a lot of pain. I had an ultrasound today and the dr. told me i have a really thick uterine lining. Does that mean i have cancer? Everywhere i look it says that thick linings are linked to uterine cancer and i'm freaking out. Very scared! I can't see my regular doctor until the end of next week. Does anyone have any experience with this?? or can anyone give me some info?? ..and also if i had a csection would the doctor have seen uterine cancer at the time if indeed that's what i have?? I'm just so worried that something is really wrong. I have two children 2 and 4 months and i'm terrified of dying and leaving them motherless.
yeah but i'm having alot of pain and discomfort also...almost feels like i'm swollen inside! And i'm not breastfeeding so i definately should have had a period by now! After i had first child also my period which was always not very heavy turned into a very heavy period...i read this is also a symptom of uterine cancer. Also i've been having spotting for over a month now..i'll spot for a couple of days then stop, then spot again. If it's not cancer i must have a bad infection or something...i've never missed periods in my life! Thanks for your reply also.
Don't worry!!
You have a thick uterine lining because you haven't had your period.
Of those who choose not to breastfeed, approximately 80% of women find their period has returned by ten weeks. Breastfeeding can delay menstruation and ovulation for around 20 weeks or more, however it is not uncommon to find your period returning sooner or much longer than 20 weeks.
