Cramps and Waiting for Biopsy

Therese_

I am scheduled for a biopsy and SIS in about a week due to post menopausal bleeding. The doc prescribed Medoxyprogesterone to stop the bleeding. However, I started experiencing lower pelvic cramps a few days ago, that oddly starting late morning and going on until I go to sleep. When I was bleeding, it also tended to be worse as the day went on. Has anyone also experienced this? I wondered if the progesterone could be causing it. It would be great if I called the doctor and he said because I was cramping I could come in earlier. I’m dreaming. I’m sure he will just say take a Tylenol and wait your turn.

Therese_, I had to look up what a "SIS" was. For others who might not be familiar either I 'think' it is a Saline Infusion Sonohysterography. It combines ultrasound with the infusion of saline into the uterus to improve visualization of the uterine lining and any abnormalities. Personally I was not familiar with this so interested to go read about it.

As for the cramping and the bleeding, the best thing to do is call the doctor's office. Most likely they have seen this before and can help you the best.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I will call tomorrow. I’m sorry about the lack of clarity of what a SIS is. You are right. It’s the injection of saline with ultrasound to look at inner wall of uterus.
