Im glad to hear that you decided to get second and third opinions as well as taking vitamins. I added my story so you can read it. I see that HERENOW mentioned that I was one of those few who decided to take vitamins and IT DID work for me. I hope it works for you too. I do believe that birth control of any kind (I used the patch for 6 years and switched to the ring and was on it for about almost three years) I do think that after so many years on being on birth control this did affect my result. Especially since is the first time my pap came back abnormal. Anyway, please read my story and good luck. Please let us know how everything turns out. 

In January of 2008 I had my yearly pap smear test and my test came back positive for HPV. My doctor then told me I needed to get a Colposcopy test. My results came back positive for CIN II. My doctor then recommended I have a LEEP and some Laser treatment to kill the abnormal cells. I scheduled the procedure but I started to research more about CIN II. I started with one website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus ) and I focused more on the nutrition part. I read about all the different vitamins the body might be significantly deficient. Eventually I came across another website that made me question the procedure even more (http://www.pap101.com ). I realized I didn't need much convincing on NOT wanting to have the procedure done. I read about some doctors prescribing natural ways to deal with CIN II and CIN III. I decided to schedule a consultation with my doctor because now I had many questions. I brough up the article where I read what vitamins I could take that would take away the CIN II. I remember my doctor telling me that if I wanted to try and re-test in 3-4 months that we could, but that it was not reccomended for someone in that stage. She also said she did not believe that it would go away but that it was my decision to make. I decided I would wait and re-test. I followed what the article said. I started taking Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, folic acid and even some CoQ10(I read in the wikipedia that women with CIN had lower levels of CoQ10 in their blood). I wanted to try anything I could to prevent from having to get the LEEP done. I rescheduled my pap and colposcopy for 4 months later. It has been 6 months since this all started and I went to get my results today and everything has come out NEGATIVE. I was so happy I just wanted to get out of the office and start dancing. My doctor said, "Whatever you were doing, keep on doing it". I didn't rub it in her face and I don't even feel is her fault. She was following what doctors use as a guideline on what to do for women who get CIN II. Now I just have to go back in 4 months to retest. My boyfriend was so upset, he told me I need to share this information with other women. So here I am telling you all my story because there may be someone out there that is not ready to get this procedure done, like myself, and wants to try something else. I don't know if it was the vitamins or something else but my tests results are clear and I hope the same happens to someone else who wants to try this out. The thought of having to have the LEEP done was very scary for me and I had it stuck in my head that I would not go through this procedure no matter what my doctor said. I am so glad that I didn't have to go through it. Good luck!
