Hi everyone,
I am after some advice please as I am 23+2 weeks pregnant and having some problems after lletz treatment.
Cutting the long story short I had an abnormal smear April 2016 server cell changes, high grade and I needed Lletz treatment in the May which showed CIN3. I had the check up smear in February 2017, so almost a year after the Lletz. The results from my smear showed borderline changes but no HPV found so back to 3 yearly smears.
Since finding out I’m pregnant I have been under consultant care alongside a midwife so they can keep a close eye on my cervical Length. I have scans every 2 weeks to check its not shortening or preparing for labour.
Anyway the worry I’m having now is that over the last week I have been on and off brown spotting and cramping. I have had a scan today which shows the cervix is all fine so they’ve taken swabs too. I’m concerned that the spotting is to do with the cell changes still and maybe instead of them going away, they have become worse??
Can they become worse without me having the HPV virus?
Does anyone know what the swabs can show? I thought swabs check for STI’s and infections?
Does anyone have any info for me, I’m worrying
Thanks x
