Hi, 

I had 2 HPV positive results but this year had my 3rd HPV positive and now invited to colposcopy. 

Hope that helps

Hello. 
 

I have just had the same 3 hpv positive smears and no abnormal cells. I have a colposcopy tomorrow. 
 

how did yours go? 

Hi, 

I too have just recieved my 3rd hpv positive with no abnormal cells. I've got a colposcopy booked. I think I've read too much literature. Hope other peoples colposcopy have gone ok.

Take care

I've just been asked to go for a Colposcoby after now getting 3 HPV positive results on my cervical screenings since 2019. No abnormal cells found on each one which is a positive, but I'm feeling anxious and can't seem to stop worrying. I know it could be a lot worse but it's the not knowing and I don't understand why I'm still HPV positive and it's not cleared up. I'm overthinking and over worrying. Hope everyone's tests have gone well 

I'm in the same position. Waiting for a colposcopy appointment after 3 hpv positive results but normal cells. I'm guessing no abnormal cells is a good sign and it's good that they are checking us to make sure. If you are happy to, will you let me know how you get on? I hope it goes well for you

Hi, yes I will let you know. I need to ring up tomorrow to make an appointment. I read too much online, but realistically it's good the hosp are being extra cautious and offering further tests, even though no abnormal cells found. Let me know how yours goes too. Catch up soon x

I had my appointment through today for the 21st April I hope you get yours soon x

My Hosp are not giving out apts for non essential cases and that's me apparently. I've booked a private colposcopy for the 18th May as I could be waiting another year for a NHS one and would like to make sure everything is ok. Hope your apt goes well. Keep me updated. 

I had no abnormal cells for 12 years with yearly smears for 5 of these years.

Had HPV in 2018 and 2019 no abnormal cells, discovered I had cervical cancer in 2020 as had abnormal bleeding in the January.

Dont want to worry everyone on this thread but in 20% of women smears don't pick up cancer as its too high up. They don't tell you this, I wish someone had told me. Mine had been growing for 12 years.

Willow672 so glad you booked a private colposcopy. Hope it goes well. Please keep me informed.

Anyone need any questions answered then I'm happy to help

Thank you for your message. Glad I've booked a private one now. Will keep you updated. Hope your cancer treatment has gone well and you are ok now.

Yeah I wouldn't wait for the NHS they were awful when I originally got diagnosed. I'm currently going through chemo for a reoccurrence after a hysterectomy in June. If I can make one person catch their cancer quicker than mine then I'll be happy

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I am sorry you are going through this. I hope the chemo is going OK. I haven't had cervical cancer but I had chemo for breast cancer 5 years ago so I know how hard it can be. Take care xx

I am really sorry to hear you have cancer cant imagine how you feel. I have been for Colposcopy there were visible changes however the DR said they didnt look that bad but took picture and a punch Biopsy. There were no lesions or bumps. Ive had no symptoms apart from a bit of spotting once. I have noticed that Ive had a lot of watery discharge it never occured to me that this was abnormal, I have also had symptoms of a water infection that comes and goes without treatment. Although I did have antibiotics recently for a water infection that one didnt go away. Does any of this sound familiar. I mean the thing that has got to me is the doctor saying its not that bad she didnt say it was anything or what it was, I wish I had of asked because its kind of playing on my mind a bit now but I was just in a hurry to get out of there   

Morning 

Yeah it hasn't been the best year!

I'm not surprised you were in a hurry to get out of there.

The only symptoms I had were a weird blood like discharge after exercise and a pain in my left side again only when exercising.  I say weird it was really light and like a bit of mucus nothing like a period. But everyone is different. 

They originally thought my cancer was in my uterus as it was so far up my cervix.  They did a biopsy on the off chance for me and when I called chasing it they even said sorry it took so long we didn't expect you to have cancer.

Its good you've had your biopsy the hardest part of all this is the waiting for the results.  If found early enough it's perfectly treatable and try not to worry although I need to listen to that myself.

Thank you I will try not to. I hope all goes well for you I cant imagine what your going through, esppecially when you were told they didnt think you had it!  Its not easy to try not to worry but I guess all the worry in the world wont make it any different. Best wishes to you. You are a very strong person it cant be very easy to talk about your experience much apreciated though x

Hi Giggsy,

How did you end up finding your cancer - was it uncovered during a colposcopy? I've had a smear come back HPV positive but no abnormal cells, and had a colposcopy yesterday but the specialist didn't really say much - she took a biopsy of my cervix as one side is a bit thick/irregular but it didn't sound like she found anything worrisome. I'm going out of my mind with worry, though, obviously  

x

I didn't have a colposcopy as didn't have any abnormal cells.  He examined me said I looked fine and I got dressed. It was only as I was on my way out he said as you are here now we will do a biopsy and that's how they found out I had cancer. They were all really shocked when the biopsy results came back.

How many times have you tested positive for HPV? 

X

Sounds like you were very lucky indeed - I can only imagine the shock.
 

I've only tested positive once but this is my first smear in five years so I could have had it for some time. I've been having pelvic pain for about 6 months which is what has triggered the various investigations/tests. I know there are so many other things it could be and that cancer is a very rare outcome but I'm just terrified. 
 

did you have any symptoms at all? X

Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help me understand. So I've had 2 positive HPV results after my first positive I had a colopspy which came back cin 1. Now got my smear results back and still have HPV but no abnormal cells. Does this mean I don't have CIN 1??? IM CONFUSED.
