I just have a cone biopsy/letz done around
early august, afterwhich I got my normal
period which is usually around 28-35 days.
Of course, with the stress of the
operation I got it within 28 days.
Nothing unusual with that. I had sexual
contact with my boyfriend after 3 weeks of
my operation as advised by my doctor and
it fell during my fertile period. 40days
now I still haven't got my period but the
pregnancy test result was negative. Is it
because of the operation I got last august
that cause the delay in my period or is it
causing the negative result for the test?

It might possible be.My mum had it done
and they told her to excpect irregular
bleeding afterwards. This is usually from
your cervix itself though and not you
period.
What sort of birth control are you on?
Sometimes this can have an effect....
Have you had unprotected sex? If you are
still worried you could go and see your
doctor and express your concerns

Thanks for the post.
We haven't used any birth control. That's
the thing and I have never missed my
period before. I also got my period after
my operation. I haven't seen any drop of
blood or even brownish discharge in more
than 3weeks to indicate that I might be
having my period soon.
I do plan to see the doctor by next week
if I still haven't got my period within
the week.
I just wonder if I should get another preg
test or would it be useless as the
operation in my cervix affects it anyway.

Appointment With the Doctor Posted: 09-24-06 06:12am
Gosh, the earliest appointment I could get
for my doctor is on 3rd october... I'm a
bit worried that if i'm pregnant then it
will be 7weeks and since I just had the
letz procedure in august i'm not sure if
that will affect the baby (sounding like a
hopeful mother ) ... Oh goodness,
I know I will be disappointed again if the
blood test would show negative results

You could take another pregnancy test and
see if it still shows negative. What date
was your last period?

Hmmm..... Maybe you don't have enough hcg
yet. Just hold out for the doctors
appointment. I know it seems ages away
but you will be able to find out for
deffo. In mean time you could try another
home test

Yes, I should probably do another home
test within this week and if turns out
positive - I really need to see my doctor
soon. I've read somewhere that the
letz/cone biopsy procedure can cause a
miscarriage especially if the cervix area
hasn't healed yet...Probably the urgency
would take me up to the appointment
ladder.

i'm
not pregnant... Started my period
yesterday... Well, I guess that's okay
cause I just had an operation in my cervix
and it does usually lead to miscarriage.
I wonder if it is actually a miscarriage
cause I would have been 5weeks along...But
don't want to think about it like that
really cause if that was the case then I
would be more devastated...

a cone/letz/leep procedure is not the
cause of miscarriage. These procedures
can weaken the cervix - but only if done
very deep, causing the cervix to be
'thin'. Even then, a weak cervix would
only be a concern when the pregnancy was
far enough along to put pressure on it.
You should talk to your doctor about
pregnancy after letz. It isn't advised
for 6 months - mostly because they'd like
to know they got all the bad cells.
