My last pap smear came back abnormal, when I've had previous ones that were perfectly fine. The nurse said I didn't have HPV, but she sounded serious on the phone and kept asking 'are you ok with all this', like I'd know what to even think of it. I'm getting a colposcopy in a few weeks, and I need to know a few things by anybody who's gone through this before. I'm worried about having cervical cancer, but right now I'm just trying not to think about it til they do it. When they take a tissue sample, are they sticking a knife up in my vagina? And if I don't have HPV, why would the cells be abnormal? Also, I'm pregnant, and I'm worried if this can hurt my baby girl. Can someone give me some advice?
If this helps I've only had 1 sex partner, and I was raped by one person but I had a pap smear after that incident and it was normal. Please don't give me pity I'm a big girl and I realized a while ago that it's not my fault. I just need to know what's going to happen, I'm worried. Thanks
