Hi There, New to the Forum, have been reading for a while and would like to join in on some of the topics.
Hi BlackCat, I had an abnormal smear last year. There are 3 levels called Cin1, Cin2 and Cin3. 1 being nothing to worry about and 2 and 3 needing investigation. I had Cin2. I can understand how you felt 'cos I though the worst and was very upset. Anyhow went to the Colposcopy clinic and they took a biopsy. Got called back a few weeks later because the biopsy was abnormal. They gave me a local anaesthetic and removed the abnormal cells. I went back a few months after that for a smear test and just got letter in door saying everything was clear. I have another appointment in April for a smear test but I will have to postpone that as I am not 14/4 weeks pregnant. Anyhow, It is nothing to worry about as they are being overly cautious and it's good to know that the smear tests are not in vain. I can't believe the amount of people who have never even had one. Hope I haven't freaked you out.
