Hello Forum,
I wanted to share my positive news story in the hope it’ll give hope and a fresh mindset for those worried about their current HPV / CIN status.
In January 2020 I tested positive for HPV and monitored with annual smears. I was still positive in 2021 & 2022(a visit to colposcopy this year too but not action needed).
In January 2023 my results came back positive with high risk HPV again but this time CIN1 detected. A second trip to colposcopy and a biopsy, this came back with CIN2 results!! I just felt that I was having no luck, had even spent the year taking mushroom supplements Ahcc.
I was advised the best thing to do was to have a lletz proceedure which I accepted and had in May 2023, 2 weeks following this I paid to have a hpv vaccine at boots (I’ve read several Medical studies suggesting this could help).
In August I fell pregnant but sadly miscarried in November and have had to wait 3 months for my smear for ‘test to cure’ and after the last 4 years of smears… which have felt rather helpless I am pleased to confirm the lletz was a success and I am HPV NEGATIVE!!
I’m so happy, it’s been such a dark cloud for so long I’m pleased I don’t have to worry about this any longer.
