I had a low grade abnormality awhile back. I was sent to a GYN for a coloscopy? where they spray a solution into your cervix and then look at it with a special light to see if there is anything there, they then take a sample and send it off for testing. Mine came back as a possible CIN1 (the lowest grade). I was told to come back for a pap smear in 12 months, but if I wanted to TTC that would be fine. I got pregnant about 9 months later and nobody was worried, they just told me to wait till after the pregnancy to have the follow up papsmear. So 3 months after DS was born (almost 18 months after the original one) I did and everything was normal, so now I need to have another one in 2 years time.

I also had a friend who had a CIN3 when she had her first pap smear in her late 20's. She had to have a minor surgical procedure (might have been a D and C but I can't quite remember) to remove all the cells in her cervix, but was fine afterwards and won't have any lasting effects from the procedure.

Try not to worry too much. I totally freaked out when I got my result and was petrified that I was going to get cancer or not be able to conceive. Those fears were all unfounded. Apparently cervical cancer is one of the slowest forming ones so you can have a low grade abnormality that will take 10 years to progress to cancer, that's why they only recommend a pap smear every two years.

HTH but if you are worried maybe make an appointment to see your GP in the meantime. GL x
