Cervical smear

Hey everyone. 
 

Im 28 years old and 6 weeks ago I went for my first smear test. I know I have been incredibly stupid not attending one sooner however i have now received my results back and they say HPV positive and high grade severe cell changes. 
I am obviously extremely worried about this and over the last year I have noticed a lot more discharge than usual I've been putting it down to bacterial vaginitis which I've had before and Also I take the mini pill and on the odd days ive had spotting it usually happens in the morning when I wake up but this has also been happening during the last year, mini pill can cause irregular bleeding so I've always put it down to that. But now I'm thinking these symptoms will be cervical cancer and I can't stop worrying and thinking if I will be here to see my daughter growing up. 
 

Is any going through anything similar? Or have any experience/advice. I'd be so greatful. I can't wait to receive the date for my colposcopy appt. 
 

Thankyou xx

  • Hey girl! I had exactly the same last year, my first ever smear came back high grade moderate cell changes. They got me in for a coloscopy and said I needed the lletz procedure. They also send it off for biopsy. I got a letter couple of weeks later saying it had been sent to a meeting to discuss my further management. Well I had a full MELTDOWN. Thought I had cancer and they were discussing my treatment. Any how, I rang them as I couldn't wait and the lovely lady talked me through its completely normal to get that letter. They basically decide with other professionals where to let you go off their books or keep you on. I didn't have clear enough margins from the area they took away with the lletz so they then sent me another letter to say they weren't doing any further at this stage and to have a repeat smear in 6 months as my body may fight the rest basically. I just had this repeat smear a week ago so I am now waiting for my results. If it comes back positive I'll have to go back and have it done again I think! Fingers crossed I've been able to fight the rest of the cells virus naturally! You will be fine. What I have learnt is it WASNT cancer, it was cell changed that could possibly lead to cancer. Go ahead have the treatment and you will be fine!
