    Just to clear things up, they do make you wait several weeks, even with high-grade changes. Even if it's high grade and "scary" it isn't going to develop into anything directly serious or anything else in that time period. I had a friend who had high-grade dysplasia during her first pregnancy. They didn't do anything about it, just kept checking it, through the entire remianing 5 months of pregnancy. After she had the baby they took care of it with cryotherapy and she just had her second baby. Her's was the HPV type though (yes gross but it's genital warts and can pop up even if no warts every do). It's not cancer, just changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix. It can develop into cancer if left untreated (when it is high-grade) at all but is nothing to worry about, even if high-grade (which her's isn't) at this time. They will just have her come back in for checks every three months for a while then every six and then a year and unless it changes or becomes high-grade they won't do anything about it. Somtimes, like Glacier said, some people just have "odd" cervical cells and it always comes back abnormal. It's really not a big deal since it's mild. So you really don't need to worry. Another thing, the pregnancy itself won't necessarily cause the cells to change, sometimes it happens even in women who are never pregnant or even sexually active.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!


    I love you baby, passed away 03/04/2008
