  • Yes,. I have had a cone biopsy and 2 leeps. I go in thursday for my initial appt and I will be 6 wks and 2 days. Doc said he would want to keep an eye on cervical length. I'm thinking I will be going through the same thing. I will keep you posted @myonly3. I'm surprised they are keeping such a close eye after just one leep. It's great that youre getting such good care.
  • I have had mine measured and its 3.5, which I was told is good, I think anything under 2.5 or 2 you might need the stich. I had a leep in 04.
  • I am 28 weeks today :) due May 16th
  • What about you?
  • I went today for my first and I was 4cm and the dr and tech said it was good...but I also know they try and keep some things from you lol..@new_baby_in_oct...its very good care I had an abonormal pap in march of 2010 and frm there I had a copo and then the leep...but know I see 2 drs..my reg and then one from maternal fetal med so I'm at the drs 3 times out the month
  • @insanepreggochick that's what I'm afraid of...if u don't mind me asking how was the surgery....the way it was explained to me has me scared out my socks
  • I'm 14wks 3days but I hope it stays above the 2.5cm mark
  • Well congrats to you...I'm due Aug 20
  • Yay! So happy for you :) do you know what your having? I hope I dont get put on bed rest.
  • @myonly3 I don't remember the last time I had a normal pap. 4 colpos and 3 procedures later....(all after my first baby) Had a really hard time ttc, took 2 years to get preggo because of scar tissue and shape of my cervix after healing. It was literally the only thing stopping us. After dialating my stenotic cervix, we got preggo right away! Now I'm not sure if I should worry more about the length and it giving early, or it being stenotic and not dialating at all! Lol. Just hoping to get through this pregnancy and have a happy, healthy baby.
  • Well I'm happy for you all...and @insanepreggochick I'm taking heed to everything you have said:-) I wish all of you the best and will be sure to keep you posted on me as you all should do with me..
  • @InsanePreggoChick Is this after you had one leep? I'm starting to think I'm going to be in trouble after 3 procedures. They removed small sections each time, but that's a lot of trauma! I'm getting nervous!
  • @InsanePreggoChick Thanks for the advice. I will try and take it easy, although I am very active as well. My doc actually told me I have a "hostile cervix". Lol. I will try my best to keep her happy!
