Colposcopy findings

I had a colposcopy about 3 weeks ago....when I had the exam the dr said that everything looked very good...she saw no funny spots on my cervix...said cervix looked pink and healthy.  She did a very small biopsy....I'm confused because it came back with the same results as the pap.....abnormal/low grade.  They said that it is nothing to really worry about and that I will have to repeat my pap test in a few months and continue like that for the next year.  Has anyone had this happen?  How could the cervix look so healthy but come back showing some minor changes that they say are low grade?

Sometimes you just have a few abnormal cells, I was told that pregnancy and hormones can do it, but there are so many things that it could be.  It's good that all looked well, I had an abnormal pap about 2 years ago, but mine didn't go as well and I had to have cryo treatment to remove the cells.  Most of the time though in a case where it's mild the cells will go away on their own, they just have you come back as a precaution, I had to go in every few months for awhile then 6 months, now I'm back to yearly.  Call your Dr. if you have questions though, hope it stays good for you.
