Hi there!
My name is Cassie, I am 21 in a week and a bit.
I'm not pregnant, but I am on here because I need some support and just want to talk to people who have/are going through the same thing I am.
I have Endometriosis, I was diagnosed in August 2006 at just 19. My treatment was to firstly have a lap to cauterize the adhesions and a D & C, and use the pill (which I have been on since I was 15 because of irregular periods) to only have 3 monthly cycles. I have been fine with everything and take it a day at a time. But lately I have been having more bleeding than usual, I went to the doctor and he says the cells of my cervix are growing on the outer bit where they aren't supposed to be. Most probably caused by the pill which I use to treat my endo or it could be the early signs of cervical cancer or pre-cancer. How confused am I?
I thought that being on the pill was supposed to help, now here it is causing more problems.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen or was aware that this is a side effect, because I wasn't told and I didn't know.
Also has anyone had a Colposcopy done before? whats it like? similar to D&C? or Lap?
Thanks and Hello again!
Hope someone on here can offer me some advice or something
