Went for a smear this morning. I have had quite a few before and they don't generally bother me. This time though, as the nurse was opening the speculum I felt myself tear a little and I flinched. She told me to breath and relax and I could feel her digging the swab around (much more violently than I've had in the past. It felt like she was scrubbing my cervix). Anyway, got home 5 minutes later to find myself bleeding quite a lot of bright red, fresh blood. Have been in tears since. DH has been really good and we went back to the surgery and I have filed a complaint but they wouldn't fit me in to see the Dr again and I have been told that the practice manager will call me on Monday.
I feel completely violated and don't know what the procedure will be to resolve this. I can't stop shaking and feel sick. I am still bleeding red blood 5 hours later and am having cramps and a bit of internal discomfort.
Has this happened to anyone else before? What should I do? We are also TTC and I'm in my fertile week but now DH is scared to touch me and I feel sick at the thought of it.
