Hi Laura, 

thankyou so much for sharing your story with us. You are inspirational with your positive attitude and I'm so pleased that you are doing so well now.

I am wondering if you can offer me some advice on how much a biopsy hurts? I have one in the next week or so.

long story short I've been having symptoms for the last year but I have been getting fobbed off for some time :( I have a raised ca-125 and went for a second opinion and during the examination the GP told me that my cervix was inflamed and "didn't look right" so I need an urgent biopsy. I'm just wondering on the pain? 

thankyou so much in advance xx

Hi Angel, 

Thank you, I am happy that others have found these posts and hopefully were reassurred or comforted in some way. About the biopsy, assuming you mean a colposcopy. I'm not going to lie, it isn't pleasant but I wouldn't say "painful". For me it was more like a really bad crampy feeling, but it subsided quickly once the procedure was complete. 

I hope all goes well for you - make sure to come back and let us know how things go.
