Due a smear in 2 months and TTC

[Mung]

I am being impatient, I know. 2months in the grand scheme of things is not all that long...BUT... I was due a smear in january after having a colposcopy 6months before. I had mild dyskaryosis and they want to do 6 monthly smears. I couldn't have the smear as I was pg. Unfortunately, I had a MMC and I rebooked my smear. They cannot do it until end of May because thats how long they have to wait after ERPC and it needs to be with the consultant.

Anyway, i am really want to TTC again after everything that has happened although I feel I ought to wait for the smear (and then the 6 weeks for the results to come back) to be sure.

Some lessons in being patient are in order I feel, but I am finding it hard.

Or any tips for getting it done sooner. I have tried calling the hospital and the colposcopy secretary is sticking to her guns and the 'policy'.

The reason for waiting 6 months is to give your cervix a chance to settle down again, particularly if you had any biopsies taken or cautery, so I think, as you say, being patient is where you're at with it
I would also suspect at present that if they're anything like the colposcopy units I deal with through work (in the cytology lab) that they are pretty much fully booked and moving appointments around will be a bit tricky. Our work has been 40% up for weeks now and the number of referrals has gone up.

Perhaps you could ask to have a chat with one of the colposcopy staff about TTC, as they may be able to advise you whether you're ok to try now, rather than waiting until May.

Thank you BNoir for your advice.
I know that they are suddenly very busy and I understand why. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am just going to have to wait to TTC and I am trying to see the positive in that. I don't want to put my own health at risk and, although I know you can have smears whilst pregnant, I would hate to do anything that may lead me to go through what I went through a couple of months ago.
