Had my six week checkup last Monday and at the time I had a pap smear done. They called me today and told me I had some abnormal lab results and that I tested positive for HPV...how is that even possible when I got the Preventive vaccine at age 13. Now I’m all worried, I just want to be able to see my daughter grow older and accomplish great things.
I've heard some women with false positives so I wanted to shed some light. Glad I could ease your mind a little. 💗
Colposcopy : a procedure to closely examine your cervix, vagina and vulva for signs of disease. During colposcopy, your doctor uses a special instrument called a colposcope.
@mychemicalshaymance they will also snip off any spots that are questionable I think.
Sadly the vaccines only protect against 90% of the strains of HPV. Hopefully it's just a false positive.
So have them redo your test and ONLY the hpv testing.

Thank you @youre.kickin.me.schmalz, and @mychemicalshaymance, really helpful. I’ve just been a nervous wreck since I got the call! I had a pap at the beginning of my pregnancy and they found nothing. I’m praying it was a false positive!
