I have a gynecologist appt tomorrow and I'm pretty sure she wants to do a biopsy. I think it's of my cervix Has anyone had this? I'm scared and am considering taking some kind of relaxation medication before hand.
Thank you all for your posts and FMs! I just came back from my biopsy and it really wasn't horrible . In fact the actual biopsy part I didn't feel at all. She made me cough while she did it. The worst part is the cramping now, hopefully the motrin kicks in soon. I did take a valium before hand but we got stuck in so much traffic (they closed the exit we needed to get off at) we were an hour and a half late and by then the valium wore off
I have another question though, did your doctor have to make fake scabs for you? I bled so much she had to stop the bleeding by making fake scabs. I never heard of this

Re: biopsy question
I don't think I've ever had that, but maybe its similar to a pap?
call her and ask her if there something you can take before you go? I'm sure it will be ok..

Re: biopsy question
are you having a colposcopy done? if so, just take advil beforehand. it's a bit uncomfortable, but not unbearable.

ditto. It's uncomfortable but it takes seconds & then its over. Take some Motrin or advil before.

Re: biopsy question
are they doing a colposcopy? i've had this done many times and it's not bad at all. it takes a little bit longer than a pap and it makes you cramp slightly but nothing to be worried about! i actually am having one done again at the end of feb.

i faint all the time too but for some reason i've never felt like i'm gonna faint at a colposcopy. i'm so bad i fainted when i got a tetnus shot but the colpo really isn't that bad.

You must have a very high threshold for pain, or I was a little wimp when it happened to me

Lately I am queasy very easily...even from having a mole removed! So yes if I were I'd take something to keep you calm. JMO. And keep your eyes closed the whole time, I mean the whole time. I find that helps. It is very fast and all you feel is a slight pinch.

Re: biopsy question
i would call and see what it is that you can take. becuase some medications cause you to bleed more and if they are doing an internal biopsy you might not be able to take them. HTH

if my mom read that she would crack up! she says i'm the biggest wimp there is and she doesn't even know how i'll get through child birth i'm really a HUGE baby but for some i don't find the colposcopy to be so bad. maybe because its so fast. it's definitely not my version of fun though!

Thanks! I fainted after I had a mole removed at the dermatologist but in my defense it was in my scalp and I don't know who wouldn't faint after having a needle in the scalp. I always keep my eyes closed. I am such a baby. Although I heard if I can pass a stone I can do anything, we'll put that one to the test tomorrow

Yeah - uncomfortable is a good way to describe it. . .I have to be honest though - I was there for a long time while they did it - first they put a solution on you to see where they want to 'sample' and they go from there. . .I remember it being like a half hour, but maybe I'm wrong? Maybe it just seemed long?
But - it didn't hurt, I just got some cramping afterward. Its really common - don't stress out. Going to the dentist was way worse, IMO.

At least the dentist will give me gas. I still can't understand why that's the only dr. that can give you gas. IMO every dr. should! Sorry for running off on a tangent but this makes me mad

No I enjoy the dentist too, even for a cavity. Only because it means I get the gas. I know this doesn't make me sound good but at least i'm honest
