I am supposed to have a colposcopy very soon and my last period was on 5/15/06. I was on the pill and then stopped bc my prescription ran out. I have not started yet so I am like 2 weeks or more late. I have taken a pregnancy test everyday and they are all negative.. I have been taking the early detection ones also. I want desperately to get the colposcopy over with. If I was pregnant (which I dont think I am), what could happen if I had the colposcopy?

I have had a colposcopy done and let me tell you, it was NOT a fun experience...I would say, that if you suspect you are pregnant, i would tell your GYN because they probably wont do it...you have to find out for sure because what a colposcopy is is they take a small piece of your cervix to be biopsied and messing with the cervix could endanger your pregnancy.....

ask your doc if you have concerns but a colposcopy will not affect your pregnancy if you are pregnant.
during a colposcopy the doctor will take a small instrument that looks like fingernail clippers with really long handles... this will be inserted inside you and a very small piece of the OUTSIDE of your cervix will be removed... it'll feel like a cramp just like you have during your period... nothing will enter your uterus, nothing will disturb your fetus.
before you have this procedure, the doc will do a pregnancy test so you'll know for sure one way or the other.
remember to talk to your doc about this! they will be more than happy to answer your questions.

This happens to most women who go off the pill as your hormones are trying to spin back around to normal, causing the period to be delayed.
