High-Risk Pregnancy

High grade lesions

edited December 2014 in High-Risk Pregnancy
I found out from my doctor not to long ago that my papsmear came back abnormal. He told me that I have a high grade lesion on my cervix and since this was my second one since I had a LEEP procedure done that I'd have to go see an OB Oncologist. I'm absolutely terrified and it feels like time is just dragging away. I don't get to see the oncologist until the 18th and now I'm in limbo as to what is going to happen. I'm scared that this could be cancer. I'm scared that it may effect this pregnancy. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? What happens next? This is all new to me and on top of my already high risk pregnancy I'm scared that I might not make it through this. I guess I just need some words of encouragement. T&P please.

Re: High grade lesions

  • I'm very sorry for what you're going through.  It's hard to know how this could affect your pregnancy b/c you didn't mention how far along you are, etc.  Why are you high risk besides this issue (you said you are "already high risk")?  Usually the gyn oncology surgeons will only do a procedure which is absolutely necessary during pregnancy, and if you're near the end of your pregnancy, it may be safe to wait.

  • Yes, how far along are you?  I think that will go a long way in the doctor deciding what to recommend. 

    Did you just do a pap or did your doc also do a colposcopy and biopsy?  I know other women have had that done during pregnancy and I believe that would help determine what stage the abnormalities are. 

    Please keep us updated and I hope everything works out for your and your baby.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

    This Cluttered Life

  • I am 10 weeks and five days pregnant. I have only had a papsmear done and haven't had anything else done yet because they immediately recommended me to an OB oncologyst because of a previous LEEP procedure to remove pre-cancerous cells. I don't see him until the 22nd and that's where we'll establish what happens next and to answer your question I am already considered high risk because I delivered my son at 35 weeks.
