Question about Pap Smear

I went to the OBGYN for a check up before DH and I start TTC this month. I just got a letter from my doctor saying my pap came out 'Atypical' which is neither normal, nor abnormal and that I have to have another pap in 3 months. Is this something that I should be worried about?

I would call you OBGYN and find out - I've never had that result before.

I have had that -what it meant for me was that a cell wasn't shaped completely 'normal' but isn't indicative of anything nor is it abnormal enough to warrant another PAP right now. You go back and have another check up in 3 months and if that one comes back not normal...your doctor may take a biopsy of the cells and go from there. Nothing to worry about though.

I had the same thing a year ago because my cells were shaped weird. They think it was do to the adjustment in hormones at the time. THey had me go for another pap a few months later and everything came back normal. SOmetimes if you are on antibiotics or switch BC this can happen.

Ok, I feel much better now, when I had the pap done I had gone off BC about a month before after 11 years of being on it. I was more concerned with the 'atypical' since we are TTC now.
