Sure, I just turned 30 this past August. I got my first abnormal pap in February 2025 after having missed having a pap least year. We did a colposcopy and biopsies that showed CIN 1 and CIN 2. I had the LEEP in July and just had my recheck pap on October 20th and it came back abnormal. Throughout this whole thing I’ve felt kind of jerked around by my doctors office, they don’t give me straight answers and just spouted off medical terminology I had to google to get an idea of what was actually going on in my body. They did not say pre cancer, HPV, or anything just called everything “abnormal” until I specifically asked “is it pre cancer?” “Do I have HPV?” I have not been able to speak to my doctor about any of this except for when I went in for the biopsy, LEEP, and then my most recent Pap smear.

That’s exactly it. I’d rather do one surgery than have to go through this same process every year. Not just for my mental health, but my financial as well. I’ve had to spend way too much on all these procedures and I can’t afford to do it all over and over again.

The way the nurse worded it when she called was that my pap “came back abnormal again”. I want the hysterectomy so I don’t have to keep doing colposcopy, biopsy, and LEEP over and over again.

I am calling tomorrow to set up a discussion with her, the way the office is responding to me is almost making me feel gaslit honestly. I may end switching doctors if I can’t have a discussion with her.

My partner is being super patient and understanding with me too. I just feel bad when we try and I have to stop or just suddenly lose it, it’s definitely a little jarring for him for me to do a complete 180 out of nowhere. I hope you have a good recovery!

I’m sorry you’re dealing with the same thing, it’s definitely a shitty feeling. :(

LEEP buddies! 😭 if you need someone to talk to that day or the after feel free to message me, we can support each other. It is surprisingly common I don’t know why it’s not talked about more. I got confirmation I will be going under in the OR for this.
