Tan my appointment is on Tues but mum just said she's working and can't mind kids so I might have to reschedule. I'd rather not take them in case my doc wants to do another smear, can just imagine the questions from miss 5 lol!
Thanks Sopdet glad you are back on 2 yearly smears now
My very first papsmear (was naughty didn't have till I was 23) I had CIN 3 I had colposcopy and biospsy done and they decided to do 3 monthly colpsocopys for a year then went to 6 monthly for a year then yearly for 2 years then too every 2nd year.
They did talk of laser but decided to wait and it did resolve it self, it has been 10 years now and all been fine ever since.
I had one when my GP made me have a pap smear 6 weeks after giving birth (when I'd read that things were probably not back to normal that close after giving birth). It came back as "possible abnormalities detected" and was required to go back 6 months later for another. That one came back with no abnormalities.
I had one too about a million years ago. Had a repeat pap and all was good. I then had a couple of years where I had paps annually but haven't had an abnormal one since and seriously, this was literally 20 odd years ago.
Try not to worry and definitely NO GOOGLING!! My mum who has worked in medicine for a million years always says that with things where you can have that scary C word coming up if the doctor isn't ringing you saying come and see me NOW then its not going to be anything too much to worry about.
