    the title says it all. I'm having constant light bleeding between periods for 2 months and now foul smelling. I skipped 2 cycles too. Uterine biopsy was ok. Any experience?

    I'm right there with you Tinanicu. So far 2 biopsies, 3 TV us, endoscopy,  but nothing sinister.  Discharge now for a month, after months of skipped periods. I am very close to menopause. I've decided to go with whatever my excellent obgyn says to do. Next appt is August.

    stinks doesn't it? I hope we both get sorted out. I forgot to mention that I'm BRCA 2 positive and so the ovarian cyst is kinda freaking me out

    um yeah - I can definitely see why. I'm sure you've probably heard about a risk reducing sapingectomy. Sending you a PM.

    I've had 2 ovarian cysts(that I know of) since starting tamoxifen & both have resolved. With the cysts my CA125 goes up & then returns to normal when the cyst goes away. The CA125 is a tumor marker used with ovarian cancer. Like all tumor markers, it has it's false positives.

    I've had biopsies & they've been benign. I had a D&C/polypectomy a little over a year ago. My bleeding, at that time, became constant but not heavy. I had to use lightweight tampons. My bleeding/spotting is currently present most days. I think this means another D&C in the near future for me(sigh)

    Sorry to hear. All these problems because of tamoxifen. Good thing it is a 5 year drug for most of us
