I'm going for Lletz treatment later today around dinner. I don't know properly what to expect except I have heard that it is like having a hot poker in your nether regions! I have to go and see the banks and solicitor first over my dad so a very busy morning and then I hope to chill out in the afternoon and take painkillers if I need them and relax with Mr. Rinder. hmm

I am sorry to hear that you need this. I have never had this treatment but have been treated in a colposcopy unit and they are very caring. If you have not already seen it, this video might help prepare you.

Good luck and best wishes.

Good luck ruby, soon be over flowers. It isn't like a hot poker, it is a very fine loop of hot wire, and you will have a local anaesthetic.
By the way, I saw Judge Rinder was taking part in the London Marathon yesterday, and is a strong runner.

Good luck *ruby. I'm sure it won't be anything like as bad as you fear - these things rarely are. flowers

All done and dusted, for today. Thank you all for your kind words, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did have slight flutters heart wise when the anaesthetic went in and I jumped at the hot wire but apart from that I was amazed when it was over, it didn't take long at all. Now have to wait 3 to 4 weeks for the results. smile

I hope you will sleep better tonight, ruby. Glad it went well.

Gosh Rubylady , your story couldn't have come at a better time . My daughter might have to have this done , she's dreading it but I'm going to show her your message . I'm frightened for her , too , but your message has been a comfort . Well done , you ! Keep your story coming ?

Aw, bless, tiredoldwoman, I really feel for you and your daughter. Please tell her that it isn't half as bad as the imagination suggests, and it's over before you know it. It's no use worrying about the results, three weeks is a long time to get worked up for, so it's on with business, ordering new furniture and getting other things cleared out and tidied up.

I've had very little bleeding when I thought I would need big pads, no tampons allowed, but only slight pink discharge/blood. A little period pain but then I am due for my period so it is probably that and not yesterday. I do wish your daughter all the very best and I hope she gets good results. If I don't post the result, I will PM you. You can message me anytime you want and ask anything you want. Please don't worrry, likelyhood is that all will be fine. Take care love. X
