Hi all I’m near to this forum malarkey but thought I’m sorryinf myself sick so why not give it a shot as I’ve been reading everyones encouraging stories. So anyway I had my first smear 2 weeks ago and it has came back with abnormalities and high grade dysarkyosis moderate The reason why I am extra scared is becsue I have been bleeding between periods and and little bit and intercours for ages and when I meaN ages I mean years. I’m 25 and im airway petrified I can’t have children as when I was younger 15 or so I had rouble with my periods and I was told I had fluid in my fallopian tubes. And it was let at that I was also checked out for endometriosis and nothing ?? I still have extremely painful irregular and heavy periods. I have a partner if nearly 5 years we have never used protection sorry for the tmi and I have never fallel pregbaby which worries me in itself as every women in my family is very very fertile only have to look at a man kind of fertile. But I am different. I also suffer with severe cramps after I orgasm and have had discharge forever (non offensive osourl non painful ) sorry also tmi but I have never spoken about this before and it’s only since I’ve had this dodgy first smear I can’t help but feel it’s all connected aNd I know ive not had children but in my bosy I sense something is wrong and not right I have sensed it for years I Ann scared I can’t have children and i petrified I will go for my colposcopy and be told something Awful. I know I am probably overreacting but I have no one to talk to so u thought Id see if anyone has felt this way before and has advise or Is going through this now so i known i am not going insane over super overreacting more than normal. Which I should add I suffer from anxiety which propels this whole situation in a land of the confused fuck sguiggled world. Love and happy new year to yall lol sorry for the long arse deep message but had to be done. Thank you for taking the time to even read it x. X x

try not to read too much into your abnormal smear.
you have come to the right place to get advice and support. It’s petrifying waiting for results, but if you do have a problem, the doctors work fast and the treatments are no where near as frightening as you may imagine.
but You could be worrying over nothing too.
did you have the HPV vaccine when you were 12 or 13?
this protects from 80% of cc occurance , and even an abnormal result may only mean slight abnormalpities and easily treatable without loss of fertility.
i was diagnosed at the beginning of October and am just having my last treatment tomorrow, stage 2b cc , but hospital are confident of a cure And I am much older than you.
im sure many ladies on here will give you support and encouragement to help you through this.
good Luck with the colposcopy- again, not scary at all- the nurses are supportive and kind- they know you are nervous
take care and try not to worry too much xx
Hi,
i was similar to you following my first smear. I received an abnormal result - low grade dyskariosis and thought the worst. The days leading up to the colposcopy I spent crying, reading horror stories and not being able to eat. I was so reassured following the appointment - the nurses are amazing in colposcopy. I was told I had CIN 2 which I had treatment (cold coagulation) for and then had to return for a 6 month smear. following my 6 month smear I received another dreaded letter - high grade dyskariosis moderate. Again I spent the lead up to my appointment in tears and not being able to eat. I had another lot of different treatment (LLETZ). All the cells were pre cancerous (CIN), this is why they do these tests to catch the cells as early as they can before they become anything more sinister. I have just had my second sixth month smear and received the letter to say my cervix looked normal, however, HPV is still present. So it’s a trip back to colposcopy for me to make sure that everything is ok and the HPV hasn’t made any more of the cells abnormal But I’m feeling optimistic this time. I’ve read that the body can fight off hpv but it can take a while. I know it is easy for me to say but try not to worry!! Make a list of any questions you have and don’t read stories on google. Also, having cervical abnormalities is a lot more common than I first realised not that, that makes it any easier but once you get talking to other people you realise just how many people have been through it. Good luck with your appointment!! X
Hi ladies
really reassuring to hear this, just had my second smear and it came up with abnormal changes- seeing a gyneocolist in March. Ive never been so anxious in my life and it has consumed my thoughts night and day. I’m doing my best to relax but I just am so worried this will be a persistent issue
How are things going? X
