I'm So Scared! Posted: 06-16-04 12:32pm
My cell phone got disconnected and my
doctor's office couldn't get a hold of me.
They sent me a letter and it said my pap
tests were abnormal. Apparantly I have a
yeast infection (no symptoms) and my pap
was abnormal. I'm so scared that I have
cancer. They scheduled me for a oposcomy
(or something like that) at the hospital.
I have no health insurance and if I have
cancer I don't know what i'm going to do.
Anyhow, they made me come in today to get
looked at (i've been having weird pains in
my lower area). They moved my due date to
dec. 25th (arg!) so i'm almost 13 weeks.
Yay! I heard the heartbeat today for the
first time and I cried a little. It was
so fast and amazing to hear. Sorry this
is so long, I just have been gone for a
few days. Have any of you had an abnormal
pap smear and been ok?

Hey, I don't think we've met yet but im
teagan and 18 years old. I got my first
pap about 7 months ago or so when I was
first put on bc. The next time I went
back to the doctor she told me that it had
came back abnormal, but that I shouldn't
worry about anything, I would just have to
get another pap test within the next 6
months to see if anything has changed. I
haven't done that yet, but I most likely
will within the next few months. When she
first told me that I was nervous, and even
when she said that I shouldn't worry about
anything it didn't help much because I
thought if theres nothing to worry about,
and nothings wrong why is it showing
abnormal? Anyways, my point is all you
can really do is be brave and find out
once and for all what the real problem is,
because the sooner you do that the sooner
you can get treatments and get it under
control. Jeez I should take my own adive
eh? Lol...Just try not to worry so much.

I got a pap also in the beginning of my
pregnancy and it came back abnormal and
they did the cloposcopy or whatever and
ended up doin a biopsy also and those came
back with a small case of something and
they still dont know what it is. But they
said when im in the third trimester ill
have to have another cloposcopy to see if
it got worse..So sometime in these last
months I have left I gotta get another one
. And after I have
the baby I have to have another pap right
away. Dont worry the docs know what they
are doin I was scared at
first to but then I just realized that if
it was harmful they would have done
somethin but everything will be ok.

Don't worry! Abnormal could just mean
that the swab was contaminated and they
need a clean sample. Definitely don't let
this stress you out! That's the last
thing you need right now. We'll be
praying for you that everything turns out
normal.
Also - looks like I finally have a
birthing buddy! My due date is december
27th, so we are only two days apart!

I knew you were going to be close when
they changed mine. I'm freaking out about
this because they made me come down right
away to get checked out and they scheduled
the colposcopy right away. Oh, and I
forgot. As if things couldn't get worse
at my appt. They told me that I have a
urinary tract infection with blood in it.
Ahhh! So not only do I have a yeast
infection, a uti, possible cancer, I get
an eviction notice saying I have to go to
court, my roommates are being complete
health forum and I have to move back in
with my parents for a month or two. Ah,
how life sucks. And I can't believe all
this crap about the fakes.

I had an abnormal pap and all they do is
retest you like every 6 months or whatever
to make sure its nothing big. Then after
the preg. You might get a biopsy. My doc
said not to worry at all.

My pap test came out abnormal and I was
freaking out too, but it turned out to be
okay. I'm sure yours will be too, if you
do have a yeast infection that may cause
an abnormality in the pap smear. Try not
to get too stressed I know you waited soo
long for this baby.

Omfg! Apparantly I have psycho doctors.
They're making me go to the hospital for
the colposcopy after my very first pap
smear ever. I'm not going. I'm going to
tell them at my appointment wed. To give
me a pap and we'll see what happens. Grr!
My boyfriend had to move in with his
parents and I had to move in with mine.
It's going to be like this for a month and
a half. Our parents live 2 hours away
from eachother and shaun and I haven't
been away from eachother more than one
night. I'm so sad right now. I don'tk
now how i'm going to sleep by myself for
so long.
