Colposcopy & Birth Control Posted: 09-10-07 09:04am
I recently had a colposcopy a little over
a week ago. I've had relatively normal
recovery(spotting, black discharge from
the solutions used from the biopsy). I've
also been taking my birth control
normally. I'm now on my placebo week, and
just started on the first day of my
placebo week. Normally I would expect my
period to start on the 3rd day after I
started the placebo week. However, it
seems that I have started my cycle only
after the first day. I'm not sure if this
is really my cycle or some more bleeding
from the colposcopy (I had two biopsies
taken on the day of the procedure). For
the last week of recovering from the
colposcopy I've been spotting everyday,
then it stopped for 1 day(approximately 1
week after the procedure), and today I'm
bleeding a lot more heavily. Should I be
concerned that I may be hemmoraging from
biopsy areas not healing completely or is
this the beginning of my menstrual cycle?

I would call the doctor and ask. You never
want to take chances with surgery.
