Ok so unrelated to my heart but just got a letter my pap test was abnormal....seriously how much can one take?

[Cheers]

Look at it this way...you are getting all the crappy stuff out of the way so you can have an most uneventful and stress free summer

Abnormal pap...know all about it. Had the colposcopy and then had to have surgery. I had a very severe case of quick progressing dysplagia which was found prior to becoming pregnant so surgery had to wait. I was in one of the worst case scenarios and I am telling ya...it is SOOOO cake compared to this heart stuff. You will be and do FINE. None of it is painful or horrid. Especially after having kids!!! And I am totally fine now. If you want to talk about any of it...I am here.

I have never had abnormal pap! HPV was negative. So who knows. Waiting to talk to dr tomorrow. Going to make them redo sooner than one damn year!!

Most likely you will have another procedure done similar to a pap and you will be fine. I had two friends have this happen to them last year. Same exact thing. They received a letter, not even a call. Had this procedure (I can't think of the name but I can ask them) and everything was fine.
They told me their doctors said it happens quite often. Try not to worry.

It is probably nothing. MANY things can make it abnormal. Time of the month, sex, bad test...

If HPV was negative, they will probably just want to do a re-do...there are SOOOO many abnormals which turn out to be normal...false positives. Worst case is what was already mentioned - a colposcopy which isn't much more than a pap with a camera...no pain.

All will be fine and easy as pie - promise.

Thanks! Now I'm not too worried but it's just like "really??!!" lol thyroid issues, healthy anxieties, heart freakiness and now this?? Am I being punked? Lol

I had an abnormal pap so the nurse said but it ended up just being that they couldn't scrape enough cells off so they had to redo. The redo came back fine.

I had an abnormal pap before, a few times really. First time I had to have cryosurgery, they had to freeze my cervix...and last year actually, I had to have a colposcopy...I was kind of nervous but all came back fine!
Since you're staying on top of your well woman visits, there shouldn't be a problem getting anything resolved! You'll be okay!
