Im 25 and Im extremely nervous that this has happened to me and am now waiting on my results. However, I have noticed that I feel a little weird "down there" after having the coplosopy. It was a few hours ago and now it feels really dry. I also have noticed some solid blackish stuff down there. Is thet from the biopsy forming a scab? Someone fill me in b/c Im pretty scared.

I had my first one about 5 months ago. There was just a little bleeding but they told me that regular bleeding or even dark blood was perfectly normal. They actually gave me a pad to wear home. I didn't have any pain but they had given me 800mg of motrin before I went in so I might not have felt any pain if there was any. Hope you get to feeling better.

I've had several colposcopies and biopsies because of HPV, and what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. If you develop severe abdominal or genital pain, especially with a fever, or you suddenly start bleeding profusely with large clots, then you need to be seen by a medical professional (these are both highly unusual). You may have a small amount of bleeding, that's normal. As for feeling weird, you were stretched, poked, and prodded, and your tissues may be sore and a bit uncomfortable. Follow doctors orders and seek follow-up as recommended, and you'll be just fine.

Thanks for sharing your experience. What you've described fits with what I've read and/or been told about the procedure. The 'blackish stuff' probably is dried blood from the bioposy. Call the doctor and/or doctor's nurse and ask follow up questions--I'm sure they're use to such questions.
