Abnormal smear result and pregnancy

[JustinCaseyHowles]

Is it wise to try to have another baby as soon as possible as I've had an abnormal smear result and have to be retested in 6 months but they say treatment may be made difficult by pregnancy?!

I think you know the answer to that one, but its your choice I guess.hope it all works out

depends what the result is - if borderline/CIN1 may be ok - have a chat with GP or ask to be referred to gynae.
sorry thats prob not helpful - but there are different types of abnormal smears, and CIN1 is very differnt to CIN3.

Thank you - yes it's borderline and letters stress it'll probably sort itself out but worried I'm getting on a bit and shouldn't delay having another baby and they have to test you every six months after abnormal smear - thanks for the responses.

just wanted to say that last year i was in the same position as you, in a hurry to conceive no 2, but had just got a borderline smear.
I fell pg the following month, and stressed throughout my whole pregnnacy, thinking something would happen to me, and then who would look after my first little child?
But I had all the doctors reassuring me that nothing could progress that quickly, plus a lot of mumsnetters also put my mind at ease.
As soon as my second child was 6 weeks old I had another smear done privately and found out it was borderline again, which it would be so soon after pg.

I dont know what to advise, knowing the fear. But can only say that given that its a borderline, its unlikely to progress to anything sinister in the space of a year.

good luck

I have just been treated for severe dyskariosis after a borderline smear six months ago. I have also had borderline smears that returned to normal six months later. I think it is very unusual though, to progress this quickly. You will probably be fine.

Thanks again for responses - have now been told by nurse that I can have next test done while pregnant if necessary which I didn't know - Vannah I really feel for you being so worried during your pregnancy. Think I must just go for it as don't want to keep delaying by six months especially as no guarantees of immediate conception! Thanks again and best wishes to all.
