Thanks all, just a little procedure to make sure polyp spotted on scan isn't a concern, doubt it'll make any difference to monthly pain but no harm hoping!
I misheard and apparently it's 15 not 50 minutes so my plan to use the time to actually finish a book has been foiled. Whole appointment is two hours though, don't know why when they don't even tell you the result, got to wait for a letter within three weeks. I'm sure the NHS causes most stress related ill health in this country! Wouldn't be without it though ❤️
Have done usuals and sent a shirty response to sainsers as I complained about the quality of a product and they suggested I contact the manager and the manufacturer- I suggested perhaps that was their job rather than the customers.
Will shower and wash hair, and clean the flat next. Got a couple of vinted sales to drop off too.
Plans after appointment are a beer in the sun with Mr PIP if I feel fine, and lazy pizza for dinner.
Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday 😊https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Shower and hairwash
Flat clean on list for tomorrow as wanted to get vinteds sent off and didn't have time to do both
Very odd being in an empty hospital ward. They had a music channel playing in the background so amused myself trying to rap along with Can't Touch This. I was both dope on the floor and magic on the mic.
F*ck me that hurt 😂 No sign of polyp, diagnosis of adenomyosis (where uterine tissue grows into the muscle wall) which obvs being a thing that effects women there's no treatment for, but does help explain why my periods are so painful. Lining sample taken and sent off, she doesn't think it's likely there'll be anything dodgy though 🤞
Found 5p.
Beer time with Mr PIP and now a big cheesy pizza and an earlyish night

Hope it was you and not the hospital procedure that found the 5p 😬
It all sounds positive but it’s a shame there’s no treatment for the pain.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1 -
Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Isnt it typical that there is no treatment and probably very little if any research into the problem. Oh well it only affects women so it doesnt matter they are just hysterical and exagerating things.
Do I sound bitter? Probably because I know conditions that only affect women get, in general, little research with one or two exceptions.3 -
There is a reason for the word hysterical, hysterectomy, hysteroscopy etc. Back over 40 years ago you could just take the pill (much larger doses than now) & avoid periods completely. Well not totally true my sister could but I always had one anyway after about 6 weeks. I did have the middle h in my mid 40s followed by HRT until they made me come off in my late 60s. If it was up to me I would still be on it.1

😂 @Sun_Addict and thanks
I rage with you @ladyholly and @badmemory
Aye @beanielou, I thought 'it can't be worse than my period pains' but pain you're not used to is even worse, and this was really bloody oh bejesus owwwww.
Not that I want to put anyone off having it if it's needed, it didn't last too long and you'll be fine.
No tampons, intimate relations, baths or swimming for ten days, so glad we got our anniversary spa swim in a few days ago!
Speaking of which, does anyone want my remaining SpaBreaks voucher, runs out 16th April and has £49 on it. London prices are too expensive to sensibly redeem it but if anyone can use it in the next couple of weeks DM me and I'll email it to youhttps://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

I suspect if a man was having a similar procedure If that was possible he would be given at least a local anaesthetic.2
