Abnormal cells on pap smear? What's up with that?

On July17th, I had my first pap smear.

I just got a letter in the mail from my gynecologist that said "abnormal cells on pap (HPV negative)" and told me to come in between November and January for another pap smear.

It's HPV negative, so what else could the abnormal cells be?

It's driving me nuts.

I'm a virgin, and have only given oral twice, to two different guys. One was about 4 years ago and the other was last year. I don't want a lecture on what I've done, because trust me, I regret it enough as it is... but what could the abnormal cells be?

Oh, and if you are gynecologist or have experiences this, how weird would it be for me to call the office and ask? My doctor is very busy (always booked up for 2 months at a time), so I feel bad wasting her time.

It's nothing to worry about if it was HPV negative. And you didn't do anything wrong by getting oral. Nothing dirty about it. It could be bacteria that built up. That's usually what it is when it's not HPV. Nothing to be concerned about because they don't want you back immediately. Just make sure you go to that appointment.

I would call your doctor. Other wise you will wonder until your next appointment, which will probably drive you nuts!

I will say, if it was something REALLY serious she would have called you.
