Hello

I had my first smear last year and had low grade dyskaryosis cells. I was worried but had a trip to Colposcopy where I was sent away with no biopsy or treatment needed. 

I had my follow up smear this January and got my results the week after. It was now high grade (moderate). I got a Colposcopy appointment for a week after, this Thursday. I knew I’d likely have a biopsy as it had advanced but was hoping I would be sent away with nothing.

Thursday came around and my partner held my hand as the amazing practitioner had a look (honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to be doing the check). She’d already explained they could do a biopsy but if it looked bad they could do an LLETZ. She had a look and explained they would need to do an LLETZ. I immediately panicked. The area was clear enough that they were worried. I agreed to the procedure which was absolutely fine (hated the sudden adrenaline rush as my heart was racing). I’m now dealing with the discharge and constant worry that I may get an infection. 

I’m also now worried that due to the sample they took I may actually have cancer. And if I do I want to be as prepared as possible. So I guess I came here to find out what other people have done? I’m only 25. Can I freeze my eggs? Will I be able to have children? Will I loose my uterus? Obviously I know these simply aren’t things anyone can answer until I get my results and have any treatment if needed. But I’m scared and I’m worrying and I would just love some reassurance or information about what others have had.
