My recent pap smear results came back abnormal. I have to go in tomorrow for a colposcopy.
I have had many abnormal pap smears through the years and at one point had to have one every 3 months. I had to have a colposcopy years ago back in high school...and it turned out okay, but I am still kind of nervous. It is a rather uncomfortable procedure if they end up doing a biopsy and then the waiting for the results will be hard.
I am just going to think positive thoughts and would appreciate any thoughts sent my way.
Kari - I've been there too. About 4 years ago I had an abnormal pap, had to go in for the colposcopy, then a biopsy, and finally some minor surgery - turns out i had some abnormal cells. After all that, I had to go back for a pap every 3 mos. for 1 year. Everything has been normal since. If you need to talk, pm me I'll be sending good vibes your way - everything will be fine
Definitely sending good thoughts your way. I had some gynecological issues myself a few years ago resulting in a biopsy. Not very fun, but you'll get through it. After your procedure today, get a pedicure or have a massage or a facial to treat yourself and relax afterwards.
