I'm 37, currently between IVF rounds and recently had a second miscarriage. I'm feeling a bit tender and worried about my prospects for having a baby. Just went for a smear test, and she brightly said, "oh I didn't check your age. Are you still having periods?"
I died inside a bit and told her about my miscarriage when she was asking about LMP. She goes on to cheerfully tell me that she knows a woman who was 54 and had a baby, so I'll probably be fine.
Way to make me feel ancient! Since my MC I've had a terrible breakout of spots. And now I can add 'looks menopausal' to the list! Can you console me with similar tales of insensitivity from HCPs / people who should know better?
