My cervix is in time out.

[interro]

My pap test came back abnormal, quote, "atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance with positive high risk hpv infection." Fuck. My last pap was normal - 3 yrs ago - which my healthcare provider said is the new standard if you've had normal tests. So now I need a colposcopy, I guess. I'm pretty freaked out and not super impressed. And Mr. Bang is at that birthday thing so I can't tell him till later. Hold me.

[smock]

Aw, I'm sorry interro. Hopefully it's nothing, and anyhow like 95% of posters on GBCN have hpv.

[interro]

Smock, you made me laugh with that statistic here's hoping it's nothing major!

[Muddled]

You are going to be a-okay. You own a car!!!

[bowies]

You're gonna be fine! Welcome to the club!

[interro]

Oh, and here is great new information. Guess who had abnormal results and a leep a few years ago. E's mother! So that bitch is backing out on watching E for us next weekend AND she gave me hpv. Twatwaffle.

Ugh, that sucks Interro. You'll be ok!

[pinkplasticdoll]

You will be fine Interro! On a happier note I am glad you paid off your car !!!!!!!!

[fussbucket]

Sorry, it sucks to hear those words in relation to your sweet, adorable little cervix.

But I have to agree with the others that you will be fine, and only note a minor typo in Smock's post, I think the actual statistic is 195%.

[PinkSquirrel]

Colpopscopys while not super fun times, are really quick and not super painful. I coughed and it was over. All the cool kids have HPV. Try to not worry about it too much

[tmonoxide]

Wishing you the best. Take care.

[BettyBookWorm]

Yipe. You will be fine! ((hugs))

[maucat]

Deep breaths and no shankings. You will be okay!

[Deleted]

HUGS. T&Ps that you will be fine! And also, congrats on paying off your car!

[partiallysunny]

Oooh, I'm sorry Interro.

[interro]

Thanks guys I'm going to call today and see when they can schedule me, and I told my boss I'm going to use some personal time for medical stuff soon and she was fine with it so that is a relief.

The idea that the heifer could be the one who gave you HPV makes me want to stab her in her face. Or her hooha. Maybe both.

Dude, you have no idea the rage. No idea. I can't get (okay, I can't STAY) all ragey and resentful about it but initially ... rage.

[Muddled]

Honey, I love you and I hate her for you and I hate this situation that you are in, but your anger may be ever so slightly misplaced here.

Big hugs, chica.

Oh, I know, I really do. It's entirely possible Mr. Bang has had it all along without knowing. As far as I know, there's no real way to test a guy for the high risk strains of hpv, is there? or even the lower risk ones unless he shows symptoms?

[Muddled]

No, no test.

[Deleted]

Nope. Although I heard they were going to start recommending the HPV vacs for teenage boys?

[dakotadangerdog]

I thought I read somewhere a while back that you can have the HPV virus for years without ever showing symptoms, so you could have gotten it before Mr Bang, it just didn't cause any abnormal cells until now.

I know how you feel though, my dr called me at 8:30 at night to give me that news, so I was freaking out thinking I was going to die of cancer any day. I had the colposcopy, which showed no "high grade" abnormal cells, so I just got to get paps every 3 months or something. After about a year my body just fought it off.

Do what you can to keep your immune system strong
