Hey Hun, please try not to worry yourself. The anxiety can sometimes do you more harm than the thing itself. CIN 1 is just a change in cells at this stage, can usually be caused by the HPV virus and very commonly clears up on its own and requires no treatment. Even if your next smear is the same, it still doesn't mean you have cancer. The thing about cervical cancer is that it is very easy to detect changes (which is why it's so important to get regular paps). Even when changes are found it really is just an isolated patch of cells. If you still have the same result in 6 months they just perform a little op where they remove the area of cells. I panicked when I got mine, but it really is so treatable. I had an abnormal 6 months ago, just recently got my results back for my 6 monthly smear and it was all clear, no abnormal cells detected. So it may clear up on its own, even if it doesn't, you know about it, will be monitoring it and can do something about it! Cervical cancer takes 10-15 years to develop and is only really a problem if someone goes years and years without a smear. Changes caught early are very easily treated. I'm now nearly twelve weeks with my first and had the second pap done in pregnancy and everything was fine, no bleeding etc. so please try not to stress, I actually regret how much stress I put myself under after realising how unnecessary it was and the worry I caused myself. Hope this helps Hun xx
