I.L.
I am glad you are talking about this.
I was TERRIFIED when my pap came back abnormal for the first time in 15 years of paps. Then I started talking to the women in my life and realized how incredibly common it was.
I was essentially in the exact same position you are in, abnormal pap, essentially the same biopsy results. My ob/gyn (whom I would and have trusted with my life and the lives to my two little girls) was not really concerned. He said we would look again at 6 months. If there was change we would do LEEP, if not, we would just keep watching. I did a follow up PAP at six months; no change. Follow up at the next six months was normal. Follow up the next six months was normal again. Now I am back up to yearly.
Once the virus is in your system it is there forever. No telling when or how I got it but it is there. When you do the research, yeah it can look pretty scary (#1 cause of cervical cancer); but there is no guarantee anything will ever come of it. As long as you and your doctor are aware and keep checking you should be fine.
Please talk to some people, I am sure you will be suprised to find how many women know exactly what you are talking about. At the end of the day if you still feel uncomfortable waiting that long, ask your doctor to check a t 3 months or seek a second opinion.
It is not the end of the world, but it is your body!
