I had an abnormal pap smear at 6 weeks of pregnancy. I than had a colposcopy in October. I was told I had severe dysplasia and a high grade lesion. There wasn't a biopsy done because I'm pregnant, though the doctor didn't seem too worried. According to him 'everything looks worse during pregnancy' so they ordered another colp. for 24 weeks. I just had the second one done. It was a different doctor as mine wasn't available. She didn't want to comment on anything because she isn't my regular gynocologist. I have an appointment with him on Wed. but I think I know what he's going to tell me. I recieved a new patient packet in the mail today from a gyn. oncologist. Does anyone know what I can expect at that appointment? I'm extremely scared and upset so I'm trying to prepare myself as much as possible. Thanks in advance for any information. Kymberli Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT I don't know what kind of biopsy is done for pregnant women. But be sure to have an honest discussion with your doctor. If you aren't comfortable with answers you get or don't get, by all means find a second doctor. herenow Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT I am going through the same thing you are. I have had quite the history of biopsies, and LEEPs. I had 1 biopsy, and 2 LEEPs. 3 months after the last LEEP I went back to have a regular pap... that came back bad (which in itself was confusing because they had told me they got it all). I was then scheduled for another biopsy. By the time that appointment came around I was pregnant. My doctor didn't want to do the biopsy and just did another pap and looked at it through the microscope thingy. At this point he was very adamant about waiting to do anything until after pregnancy. He told me that after delivery and when you heal it will probably just go away. He said that unless I had cancer, they would just watch it. It didn't seem to worry him at all, which put my mind at ease a bit. About a week or so later I got a call from the Doctor. He told me the results of the last pap... no good again. He advised that I go a gyncological oncologist. I made that appointment. It's tomorrow.... I don't know what to expect, and its quite frankly is freaking me the hell out!! One minute it seems that everything is fine, and the next I'm going to see an oncologist. I hate this, and I don't understand what's going on. It's soo confusing. Sorry I can't help ya on deciphering your problem, it seems awfully similiar to mine though. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If you see yours first please let me know how it goes. I will do the same. jewel531 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 1/19/2008 Kymberli wrote:I'm 22 and 6 months pregnant with my second child. I had an abnormal pap smear at 6 weeks of pregnancy.

I just had a colposcopy/biopsy and I am awaiting results.  elle-elle Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
