Hi, I received that same phone call from my doctor back in july. I went in for a biopsy in early september, then back for a leep procedure in early november. I started feeling normal within a week of both procedures. I had to avoid excercise and physical activity for a few weeks after the leep just to make sure that I healed properly. My doctor and I both thought all of the bad abnormal cells were gone, however when I went in for my follow up exam, my doctor informed me that he didn't get them all and I will have to go back in february for a more invasive procedure.

I'm a little nervous because i'm only in my early 20s and this shouldn't normally happen to someone until they hit their 30s. The reason my doctor didn't want to do the more invasive procedure to begin with is because it can weaken the cervix and that can cause problems if I ever want to become pregnant (i wouldn't be able to carry to full term). Not really sure what happens next, but I understand how confusing it all must be for you right now. I hope you get the answers you're looking for.

To be honest I have been fearing that there were still cells left. I know it can go either way and we are both young and can recover, but at the same time it still sends chills up my spine thinking I might have to have other stuff done. I will keep you in my prayers and I wish you a speedy recovery. I too had the leep and recovered just fine (though I was a nervous wreck outside the or).

Tell me, for I am curious, did you have the leep done in office without being put to sleep or in the hospital? I was blessed to go to the hospital because my gyn wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Anyway, whatever god brings I know I can handle it. We are young and many women are *sadly* going through this too. I am calling today to get my 3 month done. I will post what happens when I get the results.

God bless and good luck.

I'm also keeping good thoughts going for you during your 3 month checkup. When I went in for my leep, all they did was numb the area that they were taking off. I was awake the entire time. I think I would be handling things a lot better if I was 10 years older but all I can do is take the best care that I can of myself for right now and hope for the best. I've got my 3 month check up set for sometime in february--i'll keep you updated on how it goes. I hope all goes well for you!

I just got that very call. I have to go in tomorrow for a biopsy and I am very scared. Just because that is what they found does it lead to cancer? I am only 22 and I have no idea about any of this? Any answers will be appreciated.

Hey i got that call 2 weeks ago and i have HPV which causes the pre cancerous cells im only 23. I have a 2year old baby girl and she is my everything! I cant stand the thought of leaving this earth right now! I just went for my biop and i have to call this week and make an appt for the leep. the Dr wanted me to think about it because he said there is big chance i wont be able to have another kid but i just told him that i would rather be on this earth to take care of the one i have then to chance it! I will pray for each and everyone of you!!! Sounds like we are all in the same boat so we need to stick together!! Let us know how everything goes for everyone and i will do the same!
