I'm actually happy about this POAS negative
I just POAS and it was negative, but I'm actually kind of happy this month. My doctor appt. is Monday and I started kind of freaking out about it the other day. I was envisioning them saying...oh yes, you're pregnant AND you have cancer. I have no idea why I was thinking that, but it was freaking me out.
Although now I'm worried that they're going to say I have to have the LEEP and I can't use being pg as an excuse to not do it.
I guess I'm just stressing about the appointment all around. They said they could call me if it was good news, but they haven't....soooo.....
Gaaahhhh!

Re: I'm actually happy about this POAS negative
I know, I would do it of course, but I'm scared. I've had it done twice already and I cry through the whole thing. That medicine they give you that makes your heart speed up scares me. I just hate medical stuff all around.
I have only been with one guy and then my husband since I found out I had HPV when I was like 19 (I'm almost 29 now). I have no idea why it keeps acting up for me. I guess maybe I have a serious strand, I really have no clue, but I want it to lay low forever like it does for others.
I'm just feeling whiny about it I think.
Oh ok. I didn't realize you'd had it done before. That sucks. I've been lucky and it hasn't been an issue since my procedure. It's my understanding though that you can get it other ways than through sex. Though I've never bothered to google this.
I can def understand you wanting to whine about it though. It sucks all around.
Hopefully you won't need it done.
Edit: Nevermind. A google search tells me that I'm a dumbasss. Sorry.
I guess I just got my hopes up when I had the d&c last year because my doctor told me that birth or a d&c could sort of "cleanse" it all out and I could have normal paps.
I took that as a forever thing - like if so much of your ute was scraped/pushed out it was gone maybe. I have no idea.
Apparently I was way wrong and once you have the virus you always have it. So it can "flare up" whenever. I had one normal pap after the d&c and then BAM! next one - biospy done. They took three biopsies (I've only ever had them take two) so I'm extra scared. I was on the very lowest scale though so possibly it's an irrational fear. Let's hope. I just want Monday to be over at least. I think waiting on test results is worse than actually hearing them and moving forward, whatever the results may be.
Oh, and I'm sure I got it through sex. I had multiple sexual partners. I just meant that since I found out I had it I only had sex with one other guy and then my husband. (...and the other guy was protected).
So I've had abnormal paps for 10 years essentially. Biopsy 4 times, maybe 5. LEEP twice. I'm just way over it. I am ready for it to go dormant. It's not like I'm re-introducing it to my system or anything, but I guess that really doesn't make a difference.
BOO on HPV!!
I'm sorry Kare. I really hope it's nothing bad.
I'm dreading Tuesday if it makes you feel any better. I'm having an IUD inserted and I think I am more nervous about that than childbirth. OK, that's a lie, but I'm still really scared about it and I don't know why. Blah.
Here's hoping to a quick next couple of days.
I'm really sorry you've got to go in for the procedure. Boo! Hope that it's not too painful and that this is def the last time!
Healthy vibes!!!
It's the anticipation, I think. I hate anticipating medical stuff. It's so scary!
...and VA I'm not sure yet. I'm still hoping they'll tell me no need at this point. My appt is Monday morning. I'm stressing.
This is my third opinion since we move so much. It all started in LA. Biopsies, but no LEEP. Then in SC I had to have the LEEP, I think twice. I kind of block that stuff out! I know I had it once when H was deployed (he was BF at the time) and I was so freaking sad. I threw myself a huge pity party. Then I think I had it again after we were married.
Now we're in TN and I had abnormal pap the first time, but they weren't concerned. After the D&C it was all clear. Then abnormal again and any time you have a "change" they do biopsies as a precaution.
So, I'm still sort of hopeful that they could say to just monitor it and get paps more often like I used to...I'm just kind of pessimistic when it comes to this stuff. I always think it's going to be the worst.
