Lletz help needed :(

[Lithgow2000]

Hi everyone

I’m currently 12+6 after a late loss last year.
My loss was actually put down to being a clotting issue but I was aware the fact I had LLETZ in 2011 would mean I’d have extra checks this time and have been referred to a clinic.

I had a midwife appointment today and I’m very worried. She told me they took 17mm which I know is more than ideal. But she also said they did a cone biopsy which has really upset me. I had no idea they had done this!

Now I’m researching I’m wondering if she’s gotten confused. They don’t do LLETZ and a cone biopsy at the same time right?

I did have a general aneasthetic but I was always under the impression it’s because I was so nervous and couldn’t remain still.

thanks in advance

I think they would have done a cone biopsy to check what CIN grade the cells were and then the LLETZ at a later date.

I had a smear followed by two punch biopsies but mine came back CIN 1 so I didn't require the LLETZ. It's not something I've heard of being done at the same time because they would have needed to wait for the results of the biopsy to come back before knowing if further action was needed.
