Worried sick!

Hi everyone,

I’m driving myself crazy at the moment waiting for biopsy results and I’m wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing. 

I had CIN3 back in 2020 and had the LLETZ to remove. Since then all smears have come back normal. 

Since my daughter was born 20 months ago, I have been experiencing bleeding between periods and after sex together with painful sex. 
I paid for a private scan which determined a polyp in my endometrial wall.

Fast forward a few months to my Hysteroscopy appointment and my consultant could not find the polyp in my womb. Instead she found a polyp actually on my cervix which was removed but also an abnormal vascular area on my cervix too which she took a biopsy of. 

She said she could not tell what this was and said it looked different to the polyp. I have to wait 2 weeks until the results and I’m so scared, going out of my mind with worry. I have health anxiety anyway but I am convinced I have CC and already worrying about how much time I will have left with my daughter. 

Has anyone else been through something similar or can offer any advice?

Thank you for reading x
