High grade dyskaryosis

 

Very worried! But am I over reacting!? 

I'm 27, ive been with bf for 5 years and been on contraceptive pill for 5 years. I've always had very easy periods. 3 wks on pill... 1 weeks off and only on period for 24hrs and very light. 

Then in January I all of a sudden had a big dark bleed, during my pill pack. I left it for 24hrs and then called  the doctors... He said chances were it was a miscarriage. Anyway I bleed for 7days. In that time I called docs and arranged a smear test.   admittedly very late for my age :-( I had smear test 2 wks ago. The nurse was lovely. When she was doing it, she said she needed to get a doctor. The doctor said I had a very pink cervix.... What does this mean?

Anyway... I've been worrying since, as knew it was not normal for a doctor to be called in.... Then yesterday (Saturday) I received a letter saying I have high grade dyskaryosis:-( 

What is this? 

I need  a colposcopy which I have read about online, so I think I know what to expect... I haven't got the date for this yet... How long will that take? 

Also I've been bleeding after sex... Which I also mentioned to the doctor, but I put that down to the miscarriage 

I'm really worried... What are usually the outcomes from a high grade dyskaryosis? 

Sorry I've realised I've gone on abit now. I've made out to the bf, that I'm not worried. But after 24hrs, I really m. .... Thankyou to anyone for your comments :-)

    Abnormal smears and dyskaryosis is a subject that is frequently discussed on our forum so you have definitely come to the right place and you will be able to connect here with other ladies who have had the same results, whether this was in the past and they have had the treatment already or are having it now. Only a few days ago, someone with abnormal smear results and who was just as worried as you (and indeed had similar symptoms as you such as bleeding after sex) posted on the forum - you can read hecfna's and hannahmaybell's contributions here and feel free to respond to them. You can help each other and get reassurance from people like hannahmaybell who went through this before.

    I hope this helps.
