Hi All,

 Im 25 in April I had my first smear test in Nov 24 and it came back positive abnormal cells. I had my colposcopy appointment last Tuesday... worst experience of my life!! I can say I am traumatised and its mentally got to me ive cried probably everyday since. I felt so exposed and vulnerable the whole time I was in the room. The 3 nurses were so lovely and friendly but the whole 30 minutes was horrendous I couldn’t wait for it to be over and done with.

They ended up taking two biopsies, one being of my cervix and the other being my vagina as they said they can also see changes there which has made me feel really anxious as I was only meant to be going for a cervical biopsy. I have been told results are 8-10 weeks wait which I feel like seems ages. I am really hoping the results come back and I don’t have to have any other procedures..

My mum passed away from Stage 4 Cervical cancer in 2016 so this has put the fear of god up me if im honest. I have been getting awful stomach pains/cramps since I had the procedure last week.. how long will this last? I'm not bleeding anymore just pains and feeling sick. Has anyone also had the same experience with a colposcopy?

Thanks for reading :)
