Call and ask for some. If they still don't give you any info, find a new Doc.

I only have one sexual partner, and am engaged.

HPV usually is around for awhile before it causes a problem and is seldom related to the current partner. Neither spotting or a positive pregnancy test should keep yo from having a colposcopic exam done. We do them in pregnant women all the time.
