Hi there, I actually had a colposcopy and biopsy procedure today ! It's the same kind of set up as a smear although , gown on , legs akimbo and a monitor to watch your insides getting rummaged through. The biopsy was a bit uncomfortable. It looked like she was using a potato peeler to take a sample of the bits they wanted to test . But generally the procedure went without any distress . I was able to drive to Lidl and do my weekly shop, only half way round the anesthitic wore off  and it felt like I had been severely manhandled inside . Seriously bad cramps. The pain has gone now but it did take a good few hours to die down. So definitely try and rest afterwards. Now that's the easy bit done , the hard bit is trying to act normal to friends and family whilst waiting for results that could literally change my life .
Hope all goes well for you X
