Hi everyone, I just wanted to come on here and explain my experience. I recently had my smear back, my first ever smear, the results of which showed HPV positive with borderline cell changes. The same as a lot of people on this post, I was so unbelievably worried and went straight to Google to look up peoples previous experiences. I found this post pretty quick into my search which helped a lot, but my appointment wasn't for 6 weeks after my smear so I was constantly thinking about it. Today I had my colposcopy, and it went really well, it was over in about 2 minutes, the nurses were lovely and reassuring. They didn't find anything abnormal and I have been referred for another smear in a years time. The nurse was really informative too, she said borderline cell changes are low risk and unlikely to be cancerous, but it's necessary to keep an eye on them just in case. If you receive a letter inviting you for a colposcopy, it's so easy to worry and stress but I hope you can find some comfort in mine and other peoples experiences, it's just routine and it's very likely you'll be okay :) 

Thank you for sharing your experience, I had a letter Hpv positive with abnormal cells I'm so worried! I haven't stopped googling all day I just can't stop thinking about it . I have to go for a colposcopy.
