I have been through all that you are going to go through. I also have a cervix with a narrow opening. It is so small that it is hard to get any of the typical instruments that gynos use for cervical procedures. I have had my cervix lasered open and had the metal dilators inserted twice a week on follow up visits hoping that it would keep it open during the healing process. It closed back up. Then I had the surgery where the physician put me to sleep and slowly opened my cervix with several size dilators with out cutting on my cervix or lasering it again. He then inserted a laminary(which is Japenese seaweed; it swells up and is intended to help keep the cervix open during healing. I had that done in November 2002. He left the laminary in for a week, changing it once as to not let infection set in. I was okay for a few months. Yesterday I went back to my doc. because I haven't had a period since the surgery. I am not pregnant. Anyway, he couldn't get through my cervix period! I have taken medication to mimic a menstrual cycle in February, still nothing. I go in next Tuesday for a ultrasound to check the depth of my cervix and also to see if there is blood backing up in my uterus. I have no pain. He can't understand that. he says that he is sure the problem is my cervix and nothing else. He is calling 2 specialists this week before I go back on Tuesday. I don't know what's to come, but I've made it so far. The procedure you are facing is not painful. Some mild to heavy cramping for a day or two and that's it. Good luck with it!
