Had My Colposcopy Today, What Now!?

[beachbanshee.livejournal.com]

I had my colposcopy today.  I took three Motrin before I went to dull the pain if I needed a biopsy.  She found one abnormality and did a biopsy.  It was uncomfortable but did not kill me to have this done.  What did bother me more was the burning afterward from the vinegar solution.  I have been cramping more and more as time goes by but not bleeding much.  From experience when should all of this subside?  I asked how long to wait to have intercourse and she said about a week,   how long would you consider about?   Any advice would be appreciated-Thanks

I was told to wait about 2 weeks.

When I had mine in Jan. I had to wait about a week to have sex. If you're unsure, Wait til ALL the cramping/bleeding/etc goes down and give your gyno a call tell him/her "I feel better, Is it ok?" and they can answer you from there.

My experience was similar to yours for my first colposcopy, with the cramping worse as time went on. I was done with the bleeding/discharge and cramping in 2 days, but waited a week to have sex. But I do agree with calling your gyno once you feel that it'd be okay. This time around (I had another this past Thursday), I was done with the bleeding and cramping within 24 hours, and had sex after 3 days. There was a bit of discomfort at first, so we took it gently, and I was fine. You know your body better than anyone, so my best advice is to take it as you feel is best.
