Thread: Colposcopy/biopsy @ 21wks

Started 2 months ago by Steph1373
I have an appointment on Monday (anatomy u/s first, yay, and then dr. appt to follow) during which they will be performing a colposcopy to locate abnormal cells on my cervix. If they find anything out of the ordinary, my dr said there could be a possible biopsy. He was very low-key while explaining all of this, which makes me not want to worry, but here I am.

I had this done prior to being pregnant.  Is it due to HPV?  Depending on your age the recomendation now is to now perform on anyone under 30, pregnant or not.  I had it done when I was 22 and my doc came back from a conference and was like, "well turns out we didnt really need to do that".  From my experience the coloscopy was just a little pinch and light spotting.  Wasn't bad at all.

Thanks for the comments ladies. Vallewis, Did you have cramping and bleeding from the biopsy, or the cryosurgery? I am going to have the colposcopy done for sure, and then depending on what the dr. finds make the decision abouut the biopsy from there. If it can wait at all, then I will wait.

had light spotting from the biopsy, but was worse and more painful for the cryo.  Id have someone come with you for both, just for support
