I was really scared too, but I didn't have any pain at all, even when he did the biopsy. I tried to read a lot about it on the web first to prepare myself. The one thing I wasn't prepared for was that he used this stuff to stop any bleeding of my cervix that might be caused by the biopsy. The medicine makes the blood clot so then I had a discharge for almost a week that was brown & looked like coffee grounds. But overall, it was not scary at all. The scariest part was the anticipation! Good luck!!
