I did not have a great experience with this procedure. My cervix is very sensitive and there was a great deal of discomfort during the biopsy portion. My doctor was unable to see a portion of my cervix, and that is the part that is the concern. She did manage to biopsy it and we are awaiting the results. However, she has scheduled me for a LEEP to have it ready to go, however, they are putting off the pre-op work until the results are in.
