Went for my first smear test on Monday. I wasn't really that nervous because I'd already heard that it doesn't hurt and only takes a few minutes. I was expecting it to be over and done with quickly.
Except the nurse couldn't get the speculum in . Every time she tried to put it in it would start really hurting and I was crying out. She tried a smaller speculum but after the fourth attempt we had to admit defeat and I made another appointment for a fortnight's time to try again.
I feel like the nurse thinks I'm a complete numpty and I'm so worried that the same thing will happen next time . Has this ever happened to anyone else or is this just me?
