EEK.. a-typical cells and a positive HPV test..
Okay, so in reality, I'm not very worried - but if you lived inside my head, you'd go crazy too. I'm a HUGE worrier. I worry about everything. So when my OBGYN called me today and said my pap smear came back with a-typical cells, and my HPV test came back positive, I freaked out a little.
A little history: For the last year or two, I've had most of my pap smears come back with a-typical cells and they go in and re-test and it's nothing. So, I'm not to worried about that. But the HPV thing is weird... I had the vaccine in the last year. I know there are up to 40 strains of it, and my doctor didn't seem too worried because I finished the HPV vaccine in the last 6 months, so I could still have the anti-bodies in my system.
I'm going in on Thursday and having another smear. Has anyone who had the vaccine ever had this happen to them? Thanks!
