Re-Pap Again.....Anxious & Concerned

Well after CIN3 and leep in October, the margins were clear, had a pap 2 months ago again clear, now I am scheduled for another on 3/22 with a colposcopy. If the cells are not good, I am planning on consulting a gyn/oncologist. I want to have kids, but I am concerned about having this creep up again during pregnancy. Also I have been reading on the site that leep margins can be false negative, since the cells may have been burned duting removal. I guess I will have to wait to see what this next pap shows, but I cannot help feelingthat the consensus is that with CIN3, it is really just a matter of time before a hysterectomy is warranted. This waiting is killing me i have not slept in over a month

Hi Neesey,

Sorry you are going through this right now. Waiting for tests and test results can be awful. But keep in mind that CINIII can often be successfully treated with a cone biopsy. So even if it came back again, there are treatment options other than a hysterectomy for CINIII. Hang in there!

Hang in there. People with CIN III and even stage 1 cancer do go on to have children and are fine. Hopefully this next pap will be clear.

I had CIN IV treated w/leep about 10 years ago, and it's still considered clear.

I did develop a different problem unrelated to the CIN, but because of the other problem, I've been checked out rather thoroughly.. and nope.. the CIN didn't return.

Good luck to you.
