Thread: pain with sex spotting HGSIL

Hi Ladies,

I do have a Dr's appointment set for Jan 3rd and I am sure that with the Holidays that day will be here faster than I realize. Yet, I can't help but to obsess and worry until then. Please, if anyone can give their opinion or advice I would appreciate it.

My story starts like this. Last January I noticed changes in my cycle. It started lasting longer when menstruating, & spotting in between. I also was experiencing pain during sex. Back then it was more infrequent. I hadn't had a pap smear in 5 years or more so I finally got up the nerve to do it and found a wonderful Dr. During the pap smear it hurt and was bleeding but she said everything looked normal. The results came back abnormal HGSIL, so I had a colposcopy and biopsy done. The results came back moderate dysplasia. I had a leep scheduled and didn't end up going, due to my own fears.

The nurse who did my biopsy also said that it was no way at all cancer and that a lot of women my age do a wait and see approach (25 then). She also said she thinks my symptoms were unrelated and due to endometriosis, but I have never been diagnosed with that. That was her opinion as a Nurse Practioner.

Now I noticed my periods changing through out the whole year. They were once only 4 days in length, now they last 7-14 days.

Spotting in between has steadily increased, from once or twice a cycle (before December 2009 I NEVER had spotting) to multiple days.

Sex is painful, and I spot within 6-12 hours after. I use to have sex daily with no problem, now if I have sex I really can't handle it again the next day or even 2/3 days later because it's so tender. Same man, my husband, for the past 7 years and I know it's not the way we have sex. Nothing has changed!

From the past 30 days I have had bleeding on 20 of them. I had a 2 week 'period' but it was just spotting the whole time, I marked 3 days as a period because they were heavier but still no need for a tampon. It stopped and 3 days later, the day after have sex twice on the same day, I started bleeding again and now it's been 5 straight days.

Any other things I've been feeling is extreme depression, lower back pain, and lower abdomen cramping and pain in my leg. But I don't know if that's because I haven't been exercising because of being so depressed, that my legs are now sore.

Thanks for reading!

Also, do you know what I can expect at the Dr's office on Jan 3rd? He is a new Dr for me and a gynecologist. The woman on the phone seemed to think that I wouldn't need a pap smear since I had one in March 2010.

Booooooo!
