Hi all, 

I'm a 28 year old mother of two. I had my smear test on the 17th May and received my results in the post yesterday which said I had HPV and high grade (severe) dyskaryosis, along with a letter for an appointment for a colposcopy this weekend.

I have gone through every emotion in the last day and my anxiety is not helping in the slightest. I have told myself to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I think it's more so the fact the appointment has been made so quick and my previous smear test in 2017 was clear is what's bugging me. 

From what I have read (a lot of reading may I add) I understand that it is highly likely that I don't have cancer and the colposcopy is just a precautionary measure to see and treat and potential pre-cancerous cells and that HPV can lay dormant and undetected for many years before making any cell changes. 

I have already had doctors appointment to discuss some symptoms that have been bothering me for a while (painful intercourse at times, occasional spotting after intercourse and constipation) which have been put down to IBS. I have been experiencing fatigue for a while also which I put down to work but after all my reading which I shouldn't have done has made my mind go into overdrive, I'm now wondering if this is all related. 

Has anyone else gone through the same and had a positive outcome?
