Hey everyone,

I have received results from my cervical screening today and it shows I have the HPV virus and Low grade dyskaryosis. I have been invited for a colposcopy in a couple of weeks time. 

This news has really upset and worried me and I am trying to remain calm. 

I am 27 years old and I have not had children. 6 weeks before my smear test I had the marina coil removed after having it for 5 years. At this time, I was struggling with hormonal changes and my body going back to normal. Just before the smear test, I had a heavy painful period for the first time in 5 years as my periods stopped whilst having the marina (which is normal.) I wondered if this could contribute to the abnormal smear test result.  

My last smear test from 3 years ago showed that I was clear of HPV and abnormal cell changes. 

Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Thank you x
