• Low grade dysplasia - by T.S - (Mon, Mar 31 2008)
  I got a pap smear at my first ob/gyn visit, I was pregnant.My pregnancy went fine and when I went for my 6 week check up the pap came bace abnormal so they did a biopsy and it turned out to be stage 1 or low grade.I went in and got the leep, they called me back saying they got all the cells.When I went back in 3 months for another pap it came back abnormal again, so now I’m here waiting to have another leep done. It’s really scary,because my ob told me that 95% of the time after the leep the cells don’t come back. All I can do is stay on top of my paps and make sure I do what he is advised. I hope they eventually go away and never come back.I pray for myself every night. [more..]

It came back abnormal, which was followed up by a colposcopy which turned out to show severe dysplasia. [more..]
