Bad Leep Results - Cin Iii

Hey guys. I'm new to all of this and would really appreciate some help. I feel like I may be having a break down and everyone around me thinks that this is no big deal. I had a LEEP performed 10 days ago for severe dysplasia/CIN III. Four days ago I received my results that I still have severe dysplasia. The nurse simply told me that the dr. will be in on Monday, it's no big deal, don't let this ruin your Thanksgiving weekend. Well, I freaked out alone. No one seems to understand how I feel. I can't stop thinking about this stuff. I am newly married with no children and hoping to concieve within the next few months. So, it's like my lifelong dream of becoming a monther is being taken away from me. FYI - I am probably taking this to the extreme, but I have a really bad feeling. What kinds of questions would you suggest that I ask my dr? I have educated myself so far on the terminology, but there is so much that I don't understand. I would appreciate any help! Elli M.

Hi Elli, There is a whole load of stuff you can do to help limit the changes, get hold of some indole 3 carbinol, and take lots of folic acid, even up to 5mg a day can be taken for short periods. Check with your doctor. Look up info at www.lef.org I sadly discovered all this too late for myself but going through surrogacy now. Baby boy due April next year. Good luck Jane x

hEY DON'T FREAK YOURSELF OUT. i HAD AN ABNORMAL PAP MILD DYSPLASIA IN fEB 06. REPEATED IN JULY 06 COLPOSCOPY 08/06 CAME BACK HPV POSITIVE CIN1-CIN2, REPEAT  PAP IN FEB 07 CAME BACK CIN2 MODERATE DYSPLASIA SO  MY PCP SENT ME TO AN OB. SHE DID ANOTHER COLP MARCH 07. CAME BACK WITH 2 BIOPSY ONE BEING CIN2 ONE BEING CIN3. SHE SUGGESTED A LEEP. SHE TOOK TWO LARGE SAMPLES. IT DIDN'T HURT TOO BAD THEY GIVE A SHOT INTO  THE CERVIC TO NUMB YOU BUT I AM A BLEEDER SO IT TOOK 40 MINUTES  AND PLACING AN ARTIFICIAL SCAB TO STOP THE BLEEDING.. THE ACTUAL LEEP TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTE FROM THE NUMBING TO COMPLETION. THE SAMPLES WERE LARGER THAN I EXPECTED. ABOUT THE SIZE OF A FINGER TIP. I ASKED ABOUT FUTURE PREGNANCY. SHE SAID I HAD A 5% CHANCE OF HAVING A PRE TERM BABY DUE TO LEEP. BUT IF I BECAME PREGNANT THEY WOULD DUE FREQUENT ULTRASOUNDS OF THE CERVIX TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T BECOMING INCOMPETANT OR THINING. MY OB WAS ON VACATION AND WASN'T GOING TO GIVE ME MY RESULTS UNTIL JUNE 20. MY LEEP WAS MAY 22 SO I EMAILED ME PCP AND HE GAVE ME MY RESULTS. MILD DYSPLASIA WITH CLEAR MARGINS NO CANCER. THE OB THAT DID THE LEEP STILL WANTS TO SEE ME JUNE 20. I THINK IT IS TO  MAKE SURE I HEALED OKAY BECAUSE OF THE BLEEDING. PRIOR TO THE LEEP THEY WILL DO LABS TOIENSURE YOU ARE NOT PREGNANT. AFTER THE LEEP. NOT BATHING, INTERCOURSE, TAMPONS OR ANYTHING IN THE VAGINA FOR ONE MONTH. I  FELT GREAT THE NEXT DAY. THEY SAY NORMALLY NO LIFTING OVER TEN POUNDS FOR 48-72 HRS BUT DUE TO THE BLEEDING ISSUE I COULDN'T LIFT ANYTHING OVER 10LBS FOR 7  DAYS. I WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO HOP INTO MY JACUZZI OR OT TUB OR MY POOL BUT I CAN'T UNTIL JUNE 22. I HAVE TO HAVE PAPS EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR 1 YEAR AND IF THEY STAY THE SAME THEN AFTER ONE YEAR I GO TO EVERY 6 MONTHS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. THEY SAY MINE PROGRESSED SO RAPIDLY BECAUSE I AM A SMOKER. IT CAUSES HPV TO TURN INTO CANCER QUICKER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. I AM GLAD IT CAME BACK CANCER FREE. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD AND WERE TRYING TO GET PREGNANT WHEN THIS WHOLE MESS STARTED ONE AND A HALF YEARS AGO. WHEN I SEE MY OB ON 06/22 I AM GOING TO SEE IF I HAVE THE GO AHEAD TO START TRYING AGAIN OR SEE IF I HAVE TO HOLD OFF FOR MY THREE MONTH PAP. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON I AM UNABLE TOCONCEIVE AGAIN I WILL STILL THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL HEALTH DAUGHTER I ALREADY HAVE. I WAS ON THE PILL FOR 4 YEARS WHEN I GOT PREGNANT AND NEVER MISSED A PILL EVER. I WONDERED AND ASKED GOD WHY I GOT PREGNANT AT 19 WHEN II WAS BEING SO CAREFUL. MY MOM TOLD ME EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. YOU MAY NOT SEE IT NOW OR 1-2 YEARS FROM NOW BUT EVENTUALLY YOU WILL KNOW WHY  THINGS HAPPEN. I BELIEVE I GOT PREGNANT WHEN I DID BECAUSE THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I ,MAY NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CHILD. BUT I AM TRULY OKAY WITH THAT. MY LITTLE GIRL, KAITLYN, IS MY LIFE. I WOULD LIE DOWN AND GIVE MY LAST BREATH TO GIVE HER ONE MORE MINUTE OF HAPPINESS IF THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD TAKE. SO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND THERE ARE  ALOT OF RESOURSES OUT THERE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS TO DOCTORS AND IF YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE OR FEEL AS IF THEY ARE DISMISSING YOUR CONCERS. FIND ANOTHER OB. BEING A FEMALE YOU NEED TO FIND AN OB YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE AROUND AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THE SAME ONE FOR A LONG TIME. I WORK AT THE WVU CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR WOMENS HEALTH AND THEY ARE A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PRACTITIONERS. IF YOU AR LOCAL TO MORGANTOWN WV I GIVE THEM 5 STARS. AND NO I AM NOT PARTIAL TO THEM BECAUSE I WORK THERE. I WAS DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH MY PCP UNTIL IT BEGAN PROGRESSINGS SO RAPIDLY AND WAS REFERRED THERE BY MY PCP. I FELT WEIRD HAVING A DOCTOR I  WORKED WITH LOOKING AT MY VAGINA A FEW TIMES A YEAR AND MY RECORDS BEING AVAILABLE TO MY CO-WORKERS BUT BECOMING A PATIENT THERE WAS THE THING  MY PCP COULD HAVE SUGGESTED TO ME. I WILL STAY AT THAT CLINIC FOR OB FOR AS LONG AS THEY ARE THERE.
