Hey ladies... hope everyone is well this weekend.
Some tough news for me the other day... got my colposcopy biopsy results back and came back with several areas of high grade pre-cancerous cells... so will have to have a surgery to remove a few areas of the cervix that are affected. I'm freaking out... have done some research and many women say this makes it even harder to get pregnant or carry a baby to full term.
Spoke with doctor and I think they may combine this procedure with another laparoscopy to remove my endometriosis again. Both procedures I will have anesthesia, so might as well knock them both out at once... Although this is all a big mess and puts a stop to my TTC for a while, which I'm devestated about, I guess it's a "good thing" as my health is #1, they found the precancerous cells early, and removing the endometriosis again may in fact make it easier to conceive... I don't know, still tossing all of this around in my head and trying to come to terms with the fact that it's likely we may not conceive before DH deploys, as it's not far away and he will be away several times beforehand for training... so we'll miss quite a few chances...
Truly just so upset.... I know eventually we WILL get our family, but the disappointment and set backs are really getting to me now... It's a year we've been trying and now it will have to be put on hold, possibly for quite a while...![]()
Hey Pinkhope,
Early April I had a chemical pregnancy and when I went to my doctors to get checked out I received more devastating news that my pap smear results from 2 weeks prior came back with high grade dysplagia. I went on to have a colposcopy and from there had a cold knife cone biopsy done on may 10th. I totally understand what you are going through. I think getting the news is difficult enough, but when you are TTC it definitely has a bigger impact.
I had my 1 month post-op appt June 4th and my doctor said that she was very confident that she got everything and as she put it "it was in the tash". She said my cervix looked very well healed and that usually she tell people to wait until the follow up pap smear at 3-4 months to TTC again but she said we could go ahead. This made me very nervous b/c I'm very much "by the book". My DH and I decided to not really "try" but we wouldn't prevent. Then BAM I was pregnant! We onlytwice, but it did the trick. My DH and I were talking and we were saying that maybe my cervix was more "open" and his swimmers could pass thru easier

I'm currently 5w+6d and couldn't be happier. I'm still nervous about my follow up pap smear, but I'm trying to not let that crowd my happiness of being pregnant. Right now you have to get yourself healthy and I know it's hard to not think about TTC, but once you do get healthy things will happen for you. If you ever want to chat or have any questions about anything please don't hesitate to ask.![]()
