My Dr. just called. My PAP came back abnormal. UPDATE page 5 (04/06)

Well, I had my LEEP. It went well, I didn't feel a thing. Although I didn't react well to the numbing med...seems as though it has Epi in it, which increases your heart rate, a lot. They didn't tell me that I might feel as though I was dying beforehand, so it was a bit of a shock, but the feeling on lasted 5-7 minutes or so. I swear I saw my heart beating out of my chest. :rolleyes:

The good news is that is was just Mild Dysplasia(sp?), not Mod. as they first thought. and they got it all and what's left of my cervix is just full of healthy cells. Which brings me to the bad news..my cervix full of healthy cells also is a very vascular cervix, I guess because I've had so many babies. So, after a week of no problems, I started bleeding, it got worse and worse and I ended up in the ER(in the middle of the night). They just can't seem to get it to heal. The scab keeps coming off and it doesn't just clot over like a normal wound. So I've been back to the DR. plus the ER 3 times this week. They keep fixing it up with silver nitetrate(i think) and then a few hours later it starts bleeding again. So I'm off my feet, trying to be at least. My mom took my 2 older boys so I just have the babies, which may seem backwards. But they need a lot less attention, they listen. hehe. ;)

Thanks for your thoughts everyone! Our insurance has not changed yet, so that was a blessing. Hopefully, I'll heal up soon and my next PAP will be normal and I won't have to go through this again. :)
 
I am thinking good thoughts for you, and hoping you heal soon.

Sorry, I haven't posted, I just checked in again on this thread. Amanda, I hope you can rest enough to heal up. I'm so sorry that you're having problems after the procedure! I'm glad your Mom is able to help with the boys.
McNuss~Thanks for your post. I only had the one colposcopy, around 15 years ago and which must have been normal, since I never had another abnormal PAP after that. I haven't actually gotten around to getting a PAP done, (I know, :guilty: ), but my mind has been elsewhere, what with getting ready to put the house on the market, etc. I know, that's no excuse, especially when the appointment takes, like, 15 minutes! :blush:
 
I hope you are feeling better soon!
