So, I receieved my biopsy results last week, I have CIN 2 but with no signs of Cancer! *happy dance*
I have been booked in for LLETZ this Thursday and the only thing I'm absolutely terrified about is the needle in the cervix?!
I'm crazy right....after having an 8lb14oz baby it should be the least scariest thing in the world! haha!
I'm just curious on if you feel it? ....i didn't feel a great deal with the biopsy and i think im generally just working myself up like the idiot i am!
If i didn't feel 3 biopsies surely i wont feel a needle???....
No insight from me at all I'm sorry to say but I'm sure you're right, if you've survived an 8lb 14oz baby and 3 biopsies a needle sounds like small potatoes to me.
Just wanted to add that I adore your avatar and your style!
Great news on your biopsies. Waiting is always so dreadful.
In complete honesty you will feel the first jab, but it is just that, a jab and then over. They may do a couple of others depending on how big the area is but you won't feel them as it works really quick! You also won't see anything because of the way you will be sitting and will have a lovely nurse chatting trivia at you to put you at ease.
You won't feel the LLETZ but will obviously be conscious that things are being done down there.
Be prepared to feel washed out and achey for a little while and have lots of pads in! Even if you don't bleed a lot you will want to change often.
It's normal to worry I have been no good worrying over going for this treatment and this dreaded injection. I can tell you I went this morning at 10.30am and had it done. I promise you it is nothing like you imagine the biopsy are worse and they really were not that bad. It felt like a scratch that's it.
I lay there panicking my heart would race and legs shake and I was fine nothing like that. Probably as I was so worked up before I went in I didn't notice any change.
I have felt a little wobbly and a but light headed afterwards the nurse gave me a lovely cup of tea and I just chilled out. I am home now in bed watching dad's using this an excuse to be lazy and still feeling a bit wobbly I think most of the light headed and wobbly feeling is the come down from all the panicking I have been doing over nothing :-/. I don't have any pain just mild period pain nothing to even talk about.
You will be absolutely fine honey. I haven't had any babies yet and I was fine.

Your story sounds very similar to mine and i couldnt not reply (even though i have been a silent visitor of the foum for a few months!) The smear showed only boarderline changes with HPV so was sent for a colpocopy where i live in london on 17th Dec. The doc was lovely and prepared me that it was likely she wouldnt see anything during coloposcopy as was only boarderline, but during the procedure she said that from what she could see i would need to come back for treatment. I went in to panick mode after chrsitmas, it doesnt help that im a worrier at nature anyway (my partner says i worry about worrying if thats possible!!) Even whilst i was spending time with family, cooking dinner and opening presents, my mind was constantly drifting off to results etc. Jo's forum got me through to say the least!!!
I hadnt heard anything today so decided to pluck up the courage and call the hospital for results - hand trembling as i did so. The lovely lady said she could confimr i would need treatmenta and sent me a copy of the letter by email with results. CIN2! Booked in for letz next thursday. Whilst im over the moon no cancer was found, i cant help but to feel a bit concerned for a few reason - firstly because i had have two smears in two years, the first being negative, all clear and the last one in November only boarderline, why was CIN2 not picked up up moderate changes instead of boarderline? Also, as you are Josie im nervous for the procedure too. Do you know if they do further testing on the area removed by letz? is it likely these results could be different to biopsies taken?
Ill be thinking of you for your treatment - its comforting to know we arent going through this alone,
Hey! I had a local when I had my biopsy as they needed to take a large area with a loop. It was fine, I felt a quick sting and then nothing... Didn't even know they'd finished. Didn't get any racing heart or shakes and felt fine afterwards. It's similar to getting a filling at the dentist really, never as bad as you think. If you can handle 3 biopsys then a little needle will be a walk in the park for you honestly! I got the nurse to hold my hand when they did mine and gave it a quick squeeze to take my mind off the injection as it first went in, so if you're really worried maybe try and get someone to do that?
I have had LLETZ twice and never felt a thing. The doctor put local anesthetic on it too, hence i did not feel the needles going in at all. :) 0 pain througout. Over in 5 minutes. I jumped up afterwards and went home with my hubby - feeling bad i dragged him with me as going to dentist is more painful!
