The not so joys of being a woman!

I'm sick of being a girl. I quit.
OK, so maybe I don't quit, but I am sick of it! A month or so ago, I went for my pap and the results came back as having high levels of abnormal cells. They sent my pap sample to a lab to test for high risk HPV. It came back positive. So then I had a colpo done with several biopsies. One area came back showing severe dysplasia. Sooo, I went today to get the consult and schedule a LEEP/cone biopsy. July 11th....8:45.
While I was there, I mentioned that my AF has been extremely awful. For the past 2 months, I have had to miss one day (at least) of work, my entire stomach (ribs to legs, actually) is sensitive to the touch, I can barely walk, and holding/carrying Max is out of the question. So, the doc decides she wants to do an exam (at this point I'm wondering why I even opened my big mouth about the pain.) She did the exam and I was in so much pain. She's all concerned now and I have to go back next week for an ultrasound. A year ago I'd have been delighted to have an u/s and see my little Max....but now...all I'll see is achy dysfunctional guts. Not so exciting.
Enough whining. Just had to vent........

Oh Jess, I'm sorry, I do hope that your doc's will be able to get to the bottom of these problems for you and you start to feel better soon.

Thanks, Jo! Me too!
How have you been?! Haven't talked to you in a long time!

That's terrible. I hope everything turns out ok for you. It's tough being a woman...I hear ya on that one. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
EGADS! Yuck! I remember those painful days. Maybe you have more going on than you know, and the ultrasound will bring about some kinda treatment. Maybe you have PID. Can they see that on ultrasound? Not sure. Just hope all this running around helps. So now you have to wait a month for the LEEP? Hurryup and WAIT!
I scheduled the LEEP for a month from now intentionally. My doc is an hour from here. I have to go back next week, and don't feel like having to go the following week, too. My mom has an appointment in the same town the day of mine, so she's taking me. I'll use up her expensive gas! :)
What's PID?
What's PID?
Oh, sorry. Pelvic inflammatory disease?
Nevermind. Looked it up. I don't THINK its that. What I read says the main causes are 2 STD's that I don't have.
Ruby, almost everyone who has ever had sex has some strain of hpv which is causing your issue. High risk HPV is the most common strain anyway. Abt 90% of the population has it. You're in good company with the rest of us. Good luck with your LEEP. I"m sure you will be fine and everything is going to be ok. HPV doesn't cause PID as you know from looking it up.
Good luck to you,
Andrea
Good luck to you,

Thanks, I'm sure all will be fine. It just gets aggrevating...one thing after another! I know many people have dealt with much worse than I. I just seem to be having a strand of bad luck.....
Jessica!!!! I am sorry that you are in all this pain!!! If you ever need anything, you know I am only 2 hours away lol!!! he he! But seriously, let me know if you ever want to vent considering I take out all my problems on you *the voice mail today!* So anyway, I am sure you will keep me posted!
Shut up, you didn't take your problems out on me! lol That's what friends are for. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through right now. And you only live an hour away. Tops!
Jess, what a tough time you're having. Hope everything gets worked out soon. (((HUGS)))
