** WARNING ** Men, don’t read this.
Remember my abnormal pap smear earlier in the month? Well, the colposcopy/biopsy was scheduled for tomorrow, but my body had other ideas. This morning, my period came seven days early to ensure that I would not be able to get the procedure over with. (They can’t do any scopes during a period cuz they wouldn’t be able to see anything.) I called my medical provider and had the appointment moved to October 15, 2 weeks later, to give the river of blood enough time to dry up. (Sorry. I’m not pleased about this.) Everybody was gonna pray for me for tomorrow, too. How anti-climatic. My mom’s gonna wig when I tell her I’m gonna have to wait even longer. She probably hasn’t slept well since I made the mistake of telling her about this.
At least the good part is, I’m gonna debloat a week sooner than I’d expected to. (I look chubs in the Hawaii photos, no?)
I got the same phone call from my dr. last week. Gotta have another coloscopy and biopsy. Round 2. Been there, done that. Not worried. Your stress/hormone level probably caused your period to come early. Blech! And no you don’t look bloated in any of your pictures.
Do you have to go back to your old doctor for the exam? blech. I didn’t even know I was stressed. Maybe the traveling did it. I seem to always get my period right when I return from vacation for some reason. When’s your apptmt?
I have not made my appt yet, I will call this week to set it up. My dr is never hard to get in. I could probably call tomorrow and get an appt Tuesday. My GYN does the exams in the office. The cone biopsy (after my coloscopy came back positive) is done in another office but by my GYN as well. If I have to have that done again I won’t have much of a cervix left! I have read where girls have cone biopsies 3 & 4 times. I don’t want that AT ALL. I would almost consider an elective hysterectomy!
Gack. I’m sure it won’t come to that (another cone biopsy OR a hysterectomy). I’m wondering whether your first cone biopsy was even necessary.
I hate when she arrives early! She is such a pain in the butt!!!
I hope all goes well with you test!
River of blood? Gah, why did I click on this link?
Vanessa – But I’m really regular and normally on a 30-31 day cycle! Just now when I NEED to depend on that it went on the 24th day! What the heckaroo, man.
TurboTiger – Haha. Curiosity killed the tom-cat.
