I’ve been trying to get Pap smears done since I was 19 (started having sex again since I lost of virginity at 15) like sex with almost everyone hurt. And my periods were becoming irregular. Every doctor I’ve went to said “We don’t do it until you’re 21 blah blah...”

I’m 21 now and I’m having my first Pap smear. I told the doctor my family has a history with thyroid issues and my period has been very irregular. Like it would be heavy bleeding for 3 weeks and then no period for 3 months some moments or just spotting for 10 days etc. She doesn’t opt for me to get hormonal testing done.

I tell her about the sex stuff. Mind you I haven’t had sex in months. I get STD testing done (blood work everything came back negative).

By the time I get my Pap smear results back they came back abnormal and she suggests I wait a year. Like idk that concerns me. She didn’t really tell me what could cause the abnormal testing and what we could do to fix it. Nor did she want to do hormone testing even after I told her my period has been constantly irregular since October. I’m not nor have I ever been on any birth control. I only use condoms.

Lol this is getting kind of ranty but yeah idk if this is normal procedure for things like this. But I would rather figure out what’s going on with my body and fix it now while I’m younger instead of waiting and it potentially getting worse.
