I am having my Mirena coil removed this week and am due a smear test in January. I asked the GP if I could do both at once and I got a bit of a "computer says no" response. I have had a bit of a bad time with this surgery. They are very overstretched which I understand but they also have some systems in place to do with getting appointments which are, I think, deliberately patient unfriendly. The hcps are great but getting to speak to one takes a lot of work! I've never had such a difficult place to get to speak to a hcp and I have lived all over the uk.
DH and I are planning to start TTC when I've had my coil out. If I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant quickly I believe I will then have to wait till after I've had the baby to have a smear. I'm concerned, as I know a woman who developed cancer in pregnancy and is now at a stage where she sadly can no longer be treated. It makes me furious that I'm just trying to be responsible and the GP surgery is being obstructive.
TBH I would find somewhere to have a smear privately if they competent refuse to do it, so I'm lucky I have that option, but just wondered if this is usual and that I am being completely U? I am a bit of a space to hormones due to coil so perfectly likely I am being U!
