I just thought it would be nice to have a thread on people waiting for smear results

I've just had my first one and currently waiting two weeks , I'm quite anxious as they found cervix ecropian and I've been having bleeding after sex

Anyone interested in joining for a hand hold and to support each other?

I've still not heard anything. Surely this long wait isn't good if you do need treatment with anything. I'm going to ring my doctors monday.

butterflykiss00 · 11/05/2019 11:26

butterflykiss00 · 11/05/2019 11:55

Hey ladies,

Can I join?

I had my smear last week, so think I have another 2 weeks for results .

My first smear when I was 25 had abnormal cells. Had a loop and then colposcopys every 6 months for 5 years, they were all clear after the loop. That was 3 years ago.

I've recently been having bleeding during and after sex, large amounts of discharge and random period type pains.

Getting ever so slightly concerned!

butterflykiss00 · 11/05/2019 22:23

@BertieDrapper hello , anyone's welcome it's a worrying time even if you've never had an abnormal one!
Did the nurse mention anything about ecropian? That makes you bleed during and after sex.
Try not to worry though if it is anything they'll treat you straight away and you'll have the best chance you can xx

She asked if I was on the pill.... I'm not and haven't been for nearly 10 years.

There was blood on the speculam as well x

butterflykiss00 · 12/05/2019 06:03

@BertieDrapper the nurse asked me that too , and I said not for about 8 years And she said you have ecropian and it's common when your on the the pill x

OP posts:
BertieDrapper · 12/05/2019 08:16

She didn't look or say anything else..... the first time bled during sex, it was a lot! Not just spotting. I thought I had come on early.....
hopefully it is just this ecropian thing though 🤞🏻 x

I had mine Friday. First time I have ever gone over but I was only three months over and trying to get an appointment was difficult. I met this nurse for the first time but as I was telling her I had my implant removed privately and had my depo injection privately because of problems getting appointments she told me about an nhs hub where she used to work. This turned out to be where I saw my private doc, she knew him well so left my nether regions getting fresh air while we had a gossip!
Now waiting for results but she did say if I didn't hear in two weeks to call and she would chase them.

butterflykiss00 · 12/05/2019 09:43

@BertieDrapper hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Still waiting on my smear result (coming up on 5 weeks).

I'm sure you'll be glad to get your gynae appt out of the way!

butterflykiss00 · 28/05/2019 16:15

Hi, I had my smear roughly a couple months ago, I was told my results would take up to 2 weeks but if everything was clear I wouldn't hear anything.. or at least that's what I thought as that's how it goes with other swabs. A few weeks had passed and I'd not received a letter so I just presumed everything was well and left it at that. Bang on a month had passed, I then randomly received a letter and to my surprise it said some unusual cells had been found! Thankfully it did say I was "low risk" but I tested positive for hpv. Even though I was low risk I was really worried and then had to wait another few weeks before my hospital app. I got a separate letter about a week after the results letter with my hospital app. The day finally came which was just yesterday! they basically took a close look at my cervix which came up on a screen so was able to see very clearly, thankfully they said everything looked okay and the change in cells has been put down to the hpv virus. I have to have another smear in 12 months time just to check things are still okay but they said there's nothing to worry about. I was in and out of there within around 10 minutes, everyone was nice enough and it wasn't painful or anything like that, just along the lines of having your smear done.

Coming up 7 weeks now still heard nothing I'm now 8 weeks pregnant also Shockx

BertieDrapper · 30/05/2019 07:45

I hit the 3 week mark on Tuesday, still waiting. I go away tomorrow so if doesn't arrive today I won't get it till I get home in a weeks time.
I had a false positive on a pregnancy test this week, so did think the bleeding I'd had could've been that. But no.

Anyway, good luck to anyone else still waiting xxx

LIZS · 30/05/2019 07:57

More than 6 weeks now, still waiting.

butterflykiss00 · 30/05/2019 08:28

@Amber14391 thankyou for sharing that, it will be useful for the ladies if they got an abnormal result too, hope your next smear is all clear !

@anitagreen congratulations!! Hopefully they won't be long now. Did you ring he doctors to ask ?

@BertieDrapper have a nice time away, and I hope the results come back soon xx

@LIZS can't possibly be much longer for you now!
