This is not like me to even be on a forum or worrying about worse case scenario but for some reason I am very anxious after a my recent smear.

I am 34 with 3 children and had my recent smear 5 weeks ago. Due to a back log my results have taken longer than usual. Today my letter came saying I had HPV and moderate cells changes. Ordinarily I wouldnt have been worried as this happened last time around but with borderline changes. After a colposcopy the cells were frozen and my following smear, eventually, resulted in no HPV and no abnormal cells.

Fast forward 3 years and I am here again! This time super stressed and actually really upset and worried at the increased level of abnormalities to the cells and again having HPV.

Has anyone had this before?

Ive spoken to my partner and said if results were exactly the same as last time I would have been fine but given the changes being moderate its scared me. Plus if its easily treated and not anything serius what if it happens again and I am back here in 3 years time..surely you cant keep being faced with this worry and stress.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks Leanne x
