" Looks like you're following through as you should with precancerous dysplasia, having the LEEP in Aug. and then follow-up in Nov. As you know, it's very important to have regular follow-up for cervical dysplasia. I would expect that you'd want to get this under control before trying to conceive again, fully understanding your great loss with your miscarriage. "

" hi erin & welcome! I am so sorry for everything you've gone through. I had a miscarriage as well and of course cerv. can. My heart really goes out to you. There is hope, though. I do have 2 wonderful sons!

One thing you can do is to try & keep your stress down - I know it's easier said than done, but it does help. Like Queenie said keep up with your checkups to keep an eye on this. If you're having abnormal paps due to HPV other things that help you to rid your body of the HPV besides low stress is no smoking, and taking vitB & vitC and folic acid as well. Also, the guardasil shot only protects against a cpl of the zillion strains of hpv.

Maybe try to get this under contol b4 trying to get pregnant b/c that's probably adding to your stress as well. Just a thought. Hang in there. You're not alone. Take care & hugs. "
