Hi I had a abnormal Pap Smear back in 2005 nearly died of fright and went into denial, yes i didnt do any of the follow ups as i was so scared. I had another smear with a different dr like 12 months after the abnormal one and it came back normal and thats when the dr explained why it could be abnormal eg 'an abnormal smear can be alot of things from blood on the smear to you having a virus to the nasty stuff.' she said She told me if her pts come back abnormal she does another PAP in her office then if that one is off then she refers her pts to get it done by specialists.
So my last one was oct 2006 and i havent had one since as i fell pregnant when i due to have another then i forgot all about it and now im pregnant again ... but as it will be 4 yrs i will definitely do it after this bub is born . What im trying to say PLEASE PUSH IT OUT OF YOUR MIND as if it is abnormal it doesnt have to be the big Ca word ok .
