Hi ladies, I had my colposcopy today after my smear came back with high-risk HPV and low-grade dyskaryosis. I was very lucky and managed to get a cancellation within a week of my smear results, which is unheard of from the sounds of things!
If anyone is waiting for theirs and worried, I must say it was really not bad at all in terms of pain. Mine felt just like a smear, in fact I think my smear was a bit more uncomfortable!
I am a little worried though because a trainee did it, and as lovely as she was, she seemed a little unsure. She said she 'thought' it looked like low-grade but had to look at the senior nurse for clarity, to which the senior nurse said 'if you think you need to take a biopsy, take a biopsy.' I'm also anxious in case she was inexperienced in taking biopsies and didn't do it properly.
Oh and on top of that, I was day 2 of my period so how she managed to get a proper look I have no idea! Now curled up on the sofa after some ibuprofen with a double whammy of period and colp cramps lol.
Anyway, not sure what the point of this thread is, it's just sometimes nice to have a chat with people on here and hear their experiences. Has anyone had low-grade on their smear and it came back worse after the biopsy? Or had a colp on their period? Would love to chat in the anxious 4-6 week wait for results. X
