[Twiglett]

Line up here and I'll kick your ass till you make, and keep, the appointment

waterfalls .. strap them into their buggy

NOT looking forward to it at all

No one looks forward to it, but it still has to be done!

I've only had one in my life, when I was in my early 20's. I keep getting doctors letters, but I never make an appt.

You are serious about this, aren't you? If I'm going to get serious grief, I will phone and make an appointment. I'll try and phone tomorrow.

I think there's an optimum point in your cycle to have a smear done, isn't there? Can you remind me when it is please?

I got so fed up of doctors letters I opted out of the smear service. I have only had one in my life in my early 20's which was such a horrible experience it felt like rape and left me with severe internal problems, and nothing, not even the thought of dying, would make me go and subject myself to the ordeal again.

god.....just missed my smear appt last week,genuinely forgot,but was heavily on anyway so ...
will rebook tomorrow

Got mine tomorrow - oh joy! (aw god - "flop your legs Mrs * and RELAX! yeh right ).

Milge .. how about the thought of your children growing up without a mother?

I was just going to ask that Roisin!

Our local FPC doesn't do smears, last time I needed 1 I tried there first but ended up going to GP

I can't remember when I last had one. Whenever it's mentioned I'm either pregnant, ttc or too recently post-natal to face it. But thanks for the reminder, Twiglett, I'll make the appointment.

I'm going tomorrow evening when I go for my coil appointment.

I was told today as close to mid cycle as possible. Apparently the results can be inconclusive if the timing isn't right. However my Swiss ObGyn did it any time.

you should have a smear mid-cycle.

this is so, so important. i'm quite upset that people aren't having them done .

mine will have to be anytime, ive never had a cycle!

And there are plenty of nurses and so on around to occupy your children, I've found - or frankly they can just watch. I doubt it'll traumatise them for life.

I had my last smear at my 1st coil check just after I had it put in and they did a smear even though I was bleeding. The nurse just did it as she was fiddling around down there anyway!!

lockets, I had a smear when I was pregnant with dd. I was only about 6 weeks but they still did it. In fact, they insisted on it. Obviously they do things differently over here.

add me on
3 years 2 months was last one

Can someone annoy me till I have one please. Not had one for 6 yrs
I am going to the fpc tonite tho so will ask there cos I don't like male doctors.
