Leep

I just had the LEEP Procedure on August 16, 2007. It was awful. I don't have medical insurance so I had to go to the county hospital. I wore full surgery gear from head to toe. For some reason, that small detail had a huge emotional effect on me. The worst part was the numbing of the cervix. I had local anesthesia. After that it was okay other than the cramping, which only lasted 2 days, and the horrible discharge. It's a week later  and I feel sluggish and sad.  I went to return for my results today and he stated that the displacia was mild and I will be okay. I have to return for a PAP in 6 months. I am glad to see a site where you can express your feelings. Now I don't feel alone.

Thanks everyone for sharing and caring.

I just went yesterday and it was awful, tears came out and I am usually a strong person. I am terrified of what's to come.  I am 32 looking toward a marriage and want children.  I cry all the time and no one to talk to. My finace is the only one who knows, but can only understand as much as a man can. I did have him with me and he saw how horrible the procdure was. I am glad your results came back with good news, I can only hope the same for me.  I hate being so frightened and out of control of my future.
