I've had biopsies in the past, but this time they were talking about the next steps ahead of time and I'm in a "moderate-severe" risk factor which I think is new for me.. and they took more samples than normal. And used no topical anesthetic.

But today, over 48 hours later... I also started bleeding bright red. It's not the normal discharge that I'm used to having after a biopsy (I've had 2 others during the past 10 years), and the fact that it's started 2 days later is creepy. And I'm actually crampy.

Gonna give it a day to see how that goes and then I just might call the doctor.

This really sucks. And it scares me and stresses me out - I've not really been scared of the past ones.
So sorry! I know the worry and stress you're going through. I've had two breat surgeries (fybrocystic breast disease). The last surgery they removed a cyst and a mass. They brought me into a room where a counselor explained all the ways they would fight the cancer if found. That was the longest 2 weeks of my life!

You may want to go ahead and call the doctor. If nothing else it will help eleiviate some stress/worry.
