I really could use some advice, I'm feeling so very alone and don't know where to turn.

Hi Laura im lauren im 25. I had my first smear in June last year it came back abnormal cells and changes and hpv positive i then went and had a colposcopy and punch biopsy and the results i got from that were to get another done in 12 months and see how it is. My periods have changed the last 2 months and have been late the first time was over 2 weeks and this month it has been more than a week late. I am having pains in my lower back right side had them since start of last year i suffered a kidney infection and was on hospital for 3 days then after that ive had recurrent utis since then 3. Ive had full blood counts etc ive just got a feeling somethings more is wrong.
Hi Lauren, how are you doing now?
i am worried that something is wrong with me too, my periods are suddenly very irregular and seem to be 13-15 days apart which they never used to be! My last period lasted 10 days! And I now have pelvic aching even though I am not bleeding anymore :/ I am going to call the doctors tomorrow. I am 23, 24 in May and had a baby 15 months ago.
Hi Lauren, hope you're okay and they got to the bottom of what was going on for you. Do you have any updates?
I'm much earlier in the process but had a similar situation in that my first smear test at 25 came back low grade abnormalities and high risk HPV.
I'm waiting for my biopsy results now, it's been 2 weeks so no news is hopefully good news!
I've had a lot of spotting since the end of last year after sex and between periods with some irregular timing too but wrote that off due to having the coil fitted in October.
I've been really worried due to my dad having a HPV related cancer diagnosis back in 2019. It was really rough but he pulled through thankfully.
I'm overthinking every little possible symptom currently. Getting brown ish discharge and spotting since the biopsy, twinges of discomfort, nausea and no appetite at all. I'm sure most of it is stress related but the waiting is unbearable.
Hope all is okay with everyone else in this thread
Thanks
Hannah
