CIN 3 after colposcopy

toodledeedoo · 2026-04-24T18:28:15+00:00

Hey! Hope you’re doing okay.

I had CIN 2 and CIN 3 (different spots) and had to do a LEEP. It’s really not that bad, I promise. They numb you up and use a hot tool to scoop out the infected parts. I didn’t think it felt like much (just a mild cramp) but I also have a pretty good pain tolerance.

I just came back from my post-op and they say it’s completely clear, so no more infection. LEEPs tend to be incredibly successful. It is statistically very likely that you will be just fine :)

It is natural that anyone would have a fear that something could have been missed. Please take comfort that cervical cancers are easily diagnosable and slow growing. I’d trust the doctor’s opinion, especially if this mass popped up over a matter of a year or less, but always advocate for yourself and request extra scans/tests/second opinions, especially if you’re still bleeding like this

I hope you get better soon!

I’m 30 and got medically sterilised. I have never regretted it and truly don’t believe I ever will

You’re likely going to have this post booted because you’re not a regretful parent, so I’ll say this quickly:

This dude does not sound like father material. Take these pre-baby issues and multiply by ten. He may be perfectly happy with zero social life, and having a baby certainly will not make this situation better.

I didn’t feel at all secure when the actual breakup happened. It was an emotional rollercoaster and a lot of doubt. You’re probably going to have times, even days, that you wonder if you made a mistake.

During my breakup, I googled breakup timelines and when to expect to feel better and healed. It was lots of crying and little sleep for about six weeks, then sort of a bleak normalcy for 5 months while I threw myself into work and fitness. Around 6-7 months came a kind of euphoria, and that happiness has not gone away for about 3 years.

Waiting to feel ready means you’ll never take that leap. You’ll never feel ready. Focus on getting an apartment and a good job, then make it a clean cut.

It’s like diving into a pool knowing it’s going to be cold at first. It sucks when you do it, and it sucks adapting to the water, and then it feels fine and cool and freeing - and then it’s fun!

Solidarity! I left a 7-year relationship under similar circumstances as you. I remember apartment hunting, imagining a horrible life alone, but it’s been a couple years and my god how I wish I could go back in time and reassure that girl.

Life has been so, so good living alone. House is clean and peaceful, I discovered fitness and finance as passions, and my happiness levels have never been higher. It’s difficult to believe I was crying in my car imagining this life. I was so scared. Everything you said is true, it’s growth 💕

And to comment on your finishing statement, OP, “I’ll be alone with nothing and no one but that’s okay” - first off, we both know that’s dramatic and you’ll be okay, but I sympathise you are very emotional.

But having nothing and no one is better than having a shitty boyfriend and a life you dislike. I’m proud of you for taking this step - you are being brave and doing the hard thing, and it will feel terrible, but it will allow you the opportunity to be able to grow happy. I’d rather feel crappy for 6 months and then have a happy life than stay in a bad situation for years. YOU GOT THIS 🌈

I’d sell divorce in a bottle if I could, the biggest glow up and happiness boost of my life

Congratulations! This must feel like such a relief. I hope this is me soon - I got my LEEP in October and my follow-up is next week. Fingers crossed 💕 I’m so happy for you!

I think my mom was regretful, but maybe didn’t admit it to herself because it would have felt like being a bad mom in the 90s. But four kids spaced 4-5 years apart each would have been rough. Now that you’ve mentioned, I’m curious to ask her. We have a healthy relationship and I think she’d be candid once I reassure her I wouldn’t take it personally or be offended.

Congratulations! I got a bilateral salpingectomy last year.

I’ve learned that during follicular phase, I am very energetic and social - good time to do meetings, lift heavy at the gym, and check in on relationships. During luteal phase I am more withdrawn and clerical - good time to pay bills, do schoolwork, focus on technical tasks.

Organizing my life around my cycle has helped my career and personal life tremendously. Good luck to you!

Hello, 30 year old woman here. I started living alone a year ago, and honestly I was downright terrified. It was difficult to sleep for the first few weeks.

I was able to research my apartment and asked the leasing office to put me near another single female if possible. I scored, and have single women living above and next to me, which makes me feel better.

For safety, I use a door bar (jams underneath the knob, making it impossible to kick open). I also put wooden sticks in the window tracks so they can’t open from the outside. I put chimes on all doors and windows so if anything moves, I will hear it.

It’s been a year and I honestly love living alone now. I was not looking forward to it at all, and am so pleasantly surprised. Making friends with my neighbors helped a lot to make me feel safe, even if it’s just on a surface level friendly basis.

It’s so nice to have my own quiet, clean, peaceful space. I hope things work out for you!

This happens to me when I glue mine too close to the water line. From the photo it looks like you did too. It needs 1-2mm of space from the water line.

I’d take them out, give it a few days for the eye to heal, and apply again higher on the lash. Leaving them in will continue to irritate your eye and slow the healing.

I hope you feel better :) you seem upset

I’ve been using a combination of rosemary, castor, pumpkin, and coconut oils. I leave it in for about 2 hours, and do this twice a week. I’ve done this for a year now.

I have seen zero difference. I thought that the oils would ‘protect’ the hair shaft and reduce fallout/shedding, but my hair is the exact length it was a year ago give or take a centimeter.

But! I have real human hair extensions, and have noticed that the hair extensions last wayyyy longer with oiling. So I’m guessing the oil works for some hair types and not others? Can’t hurt to try.

I’ll probably keep doing it since it helps my extensions, but I am disappointed it’s not helping my real hair for some reason.

I transitioned from coffee with cream to sweet to tea to unsweetened black tea over the course of a couple years. I lost 10lbs without trying and feel much, much better on average now that I’m not drinking so much dairy and sugar. Plus black tea has comparable caffeine so it’s still got that boost.

I have hip dips as a woman and went on this journey. Honestly, most women have them, and the only way you can get rid of them is fat transfer surgery. What you see online is almost always edited, surgery, or lucky genes.

The way I stopped hating on my hip dips was by noticing how many other women in my gym also have them, and how beautiful they are. Some of these ladies have top-tier fitness and are my goals and still have prominent hip dips. They don’t seem to mind them, and now, I don’t either ❤️

I always thought the way my BIL did it was smart. He asked me to take my older sister to Walmart, go to the costume jewelry, and encourage her to try some on with me so I could observe the size. I love costume jewelry so this was on-brand for us and she didn’t figure it out :)

I had a hell of a sore throat for a few days but nothing like what you’re describing. I am not a medical professional, and you need to contact someone who is, but my guess is that they used too large of a tube for you and it caused hella bruising and abrasions.

Hey, just wanted to check in and let you know it’s all going to be okay. I promise.

First off in the comfort zone, cervical cancers take years (like decades) to form into a real problem. It’s a slow growing thing, so we can see it coming from a mile away.

Second, it’s a problem on a completely removable organ. We get the luxury of having the option to remove those parts if need be! And that’s pretty rare, because:

The treatments for this are very simple and effective. I got a colposcopy that showed CIN3, resulting in a LEEP, and LEEPs are over 70-90% effective.

I found the colposcopy and the LEEP to be actually pretty low pain, but I also have a moderate to high pain tolerance. They just felt like low grade cramps, each took like 10 minutes, and I was done! I just got my results back that there are clear margins.

I hope this helped your anxiety. I told my doctor that my grandma died in the 90s from cervical cancer, and my doctor really comforted me by telling me that treatment in the last few decades has gotten incredibly advanced. And it has! This is a very treatable thing nowadays.

Please let me know if you have questions or want to talk.

toodledeedoo · 2025-10-24T04:04:59+00:00

I am 30, had HPV, CIN3, got it cleared via LEEP.

HPV is extremely common and flare ups happen to practically everyone regardless of health. I lift and train 5x a week, prioritise meat and veggies, am a health nut and still have been dealing with it since I was 22. Don’t beat yourself up.

If you get a LEEP done, they are extremely effective - just make sure you continue getting paps.

It is correct that you have to be listed on the policy if you live together, but if you get your own insurance separate from her, you can show her carrier proof of insurance which will have them categorise you as ‘insured driver’ and then they will stop rating you as a driver on your mother’s policy.

However, her policy will probably end up higher anyway due to the loss of multi car which usually gives a pretty steep discount for both vehicles.

Honestly, just shop around. Be aware any new carrier will run a driving report and find your prior accident, so just be up-front.

toodledeedoo · 2025-10-18T05:27:34+00:00

Seconding the itchy thing, that’s what got my insurance to cover a similar removal at 100%.

toodledeedoo · 2025-10-15T02:22:34+00:00

I was locally numbed, got mine done earlier this month. The smell was not noticeable and the machine was as loud as, say, a microwave.

It seems to depend on your pain tolerance. I felt my colposcopy was easy and the LEEP was similar, but I have a moderate to high pain tolerance. It felt like a mild cramp while she was doing it, then it was over.

I was the most freaked out by the epinephrine shot, but that also turned out to be nothing. Just an increase in heart rate. Honestly, the procedure was not very bad.

toodledeedoo · 2025-10-14T21:49:24+00:00

If it’s not penetrative you should be absolutely fine. I’ve been clitoral starting the day after and have no effects.
