I had an anesthetic put in before biopsy did they try this with you I felt a little sting but nothing what your describing until it wore off I’m 7 days after the biopsy and am in so much pain ended up back at my doctors today and on a strong course of antibiotics to make sure there isn’t an infection it’s a horrible experience 

I hope you feel better very soon. No, I wasn’t given anything - “just relax”... yeah right!  How long will it be until you get your results? I wouldn’t have that procedure done again without GA for a million quid! Good luck with everything x

I had an hysterioscooy and biopsy taken last year. I like you suffered terrible pain and was crying all the way through. The worst was when they tried to get past the cervix into the womb, so at this point they gave me a local anaesthetic which to be honest didn’t make much difference. By the time they’d finished I was shaking, I was not offered a GA but they just carried on until the biopsy was taken. After the procedure the doctor wanted to tell me what he’d found. I was so much in shock mode that I didn’t take much in and just remember the words slightly suspicious. I worried until I got the results. However once over I didn’t experience any further pain, thank goodness.

i hope you have a better time with the GA. As for driving etc I imagine they’ll talk you through what will happen on the day and afterwards at your pre-op.

Hi Sundial, thanks for your reply. My goodness it’s awful isn’t it? How did it all turn out for you? Could they say what caused the pain? Hope all is well with you now x

Hi Rammsteinqueen

No the pain was never explained although I suspect it was because my cervix and womb were tilted back. I always had problems with smear tests. When the biopsy results came back I was diagnosed with womb cancer, grade 1, stage 1b. I had a total hysterectomy and tubes and ovaries removed in May 2018 via keyhole surgery. After radiotherapy I was given the all clear in October and now have regular check ups. However nothing I’ve been through since the hysteroscooy matched that pain!

Did you have painful smear tests? I had to have three due to two being inconclusive.  One of those smears was incredibly painful yet I never used to have this problem.  It is so worrying not know what it wrong.. I'm sorry to hear you got diagnosed and had to go through all of that.  Such great news you are now all clear x

I keep thinking back to yesterday and me laying there screaming and "NO!! STOP!!!" dear me.. I wouldn't have that done again for a million pounds! I only hope I pass my pre-op assessment or heaven knows what I will do.  I'm so worried. 

I’m in the same boat waiting on my results from biopsy and I’m up the wall with worry can’t sleep feel nauseous and literally can’t focus on anything it’s scary 

Oh it's terrible isn't it the waiting? I am Googling and worrying like something.  When my boyfriend sees me on my iPad he says "I hope you're not reading about cancer and death again!".  I cannot help it. I am a Pisces - it's how we're made up.

Good luck with everything, I hope everything is good news for you x

I’m the very same it’s ridiculous can’t wait until I get my results the sooner the better it’s madness how long you have to wait for results 

How long have you been waiting? Hope it’s not much longer x

How long have you been waiting? Hope it’s not much longer x

I had the procedure on the 15th August and have an appointment to go for results on the 11th September! I'm thinking things are ok if they're not getting me in sooner. Saying that you can never guess how they work, when I had the first biopsies I was supposed to go back in 2 weeks for the results and after a few days the specialist nurse rang me and said can you come in, in the morning..... I said so that means it's bad news.... and she said no not necessarily. I asked her if the biopsy results were back and she said she couldn't discuss it on the phone which made me worse as I thought she was just making excuses. Somehow I got there the morning after, so scared I thought I was going to crack up. Went in the room in tears and the Dr told me the biopsies were fine and she got me in to tell me she was going to send me for the hysteroscopy!!!!! I went through absolute hell since the phone call. So if anyone else has it done this way, don't assume the worst (as we all do). 

Hope everyone has good results and we can put it all behind us.x

Oh my goodness - bless you! It’s almost cruel isn’t it? I mean why can’t they just do that over the phone? I said to my boyfriend if I’m asked to attend for a meeting it’s bad news - we all automatically assume it is. Yes, let’s hope all our results are nothing serious x

I also think that if specialist nurses are involved that's not a good sign as I have a specialist nurse because of bowel cancer.

At my appointment a specialist nurse was hanging around, she even came to tell me the Dr was running 10 minutes late and I said to my husband.... O great, she's hanging about until it's my turn! she came in with me and all was fine so don't get worried if you get one.
