Why didn't they do the laser treatment in april when they found it was CIN3 ?

Fingers crossed your cervix hasn't changed since march/april and everything is ok!

I had a layer of cervix removed in june 09 which was CIN3 so know how your feeling, Good luck on tuesday, and dont worry to much *easier said than done* but its a good thing that they want to monitor you, if they were that worried you would have been seen again before now!

Please do not let the take a break article worry you - in uncommon situations medical prognosis and treatment will vary drastically from case to case. I know this as although a different situation I had PPROM and lost my son to this - I have read many stories where people had PPROM before me and the baby survived - and sadly many the opposite way too.

Be led by your care team, go prepared with all your questions and hopefully they will be able to put your mind at rest.

I too faced some harsh choices in my pregnany with Billy, I was strongly advised to terminate for medical reasons (TFMR) - which I didn't do, but I had to choose to switch of his ventilator it was the hardest choice we have ever had to make and we did it because there was no other option, and out of love for our son (he would have died slowly otherwise). IF and I say a big IF you had to make the choice of wether to TFMR you have to weigh up all the reasons and come to your own personal decision. I used to always think I would never switch of a machine if i had the choice - where there is life there is hope... BUT when I was in that situation I realise that that wasn't the case - and actually I had no choice. We can't make these decisions till we are told all the facts. I really hope with all my heart it does not come down to a recommendation for a TMFR but if it does then I feel only then can you think about the decsion.

I also found getting a second opion helped - the inital doctor I saw and fetal med guy were pushing for a TMFR (or are you sure you want to continue the pregnancy) my own consultant was like well there is a very small chance the baby could survive and he said the decision was up to me, I choose to stay in hospital from the PPROM till I delivered (again fetal med doctor tried to make me go home) but my consultant backed me all the way to stay -and stay I did.

Sorry to waffle - in a nutshell my advise is - don't panic until they have given you there opinon based on your medical position (I know easier said than done) - if they give you choices (any choices) take time to consider all the options and ask for a second opinon if you feel you need one (and a third come to that). Also remember you are not alone - it does feel like it alot of the time when you are going through these really unique situations but you are not. My situation may have been very different but I know how hard it is being in a quite unique but not good medical situation and if I can help anytime please feel free to pm me.

I had CIN3 and fell pregnant unexpectadly just before my op for cell removal the consultant said i would be fine to have them removed after baby was born when i was 26 weeks i had to go in for a colposcopy to make sure nothing had changed. After that i was told everything was still the same and was booked in to have the op 3 months after the birth. When i turned up for my appointment they gave me another colposcopy and smear as sometimes cells can come way when the baby comes down the birth canal. it turned out i did still need the op so in feb this year i had Loop diathermy and had a large portion of my cervix removed and tested there were no changes and the cells were still precancerous. After 6 months i had another smear which came back completey normal so i just have to have smear once every 3 years like normal. Now i am pregnant again i have to see a consultant and have regular cervical scans so they can check my cervix is holding up ok. Please try not ot be scared and stay away from worst case scenario stories you will be fine hun xxx If you have any more questions PM me anytime x
