Since your PC is slow, why not get off and pick up the phone for your appointment.

I've done it Twig, made an appointment today, cheers love x

I'm going on Monday. Don't like having it done, but I'm on regular follow-ups after a CINIII and microscopic cervical tumour! So I make sure I go for my check ups - pleased to report that so far all clear and hopefully will be this time too.

Hi Lynne - looks like a lot of us are in the same situation, have you had one before?

ps - try not to post too much personal info (full name etc..) as it's not always safe on the internet

Aero · 12/02/2006 22:20

Think you had an answer from mears last night dear that you really have nothing to fear. Mears is a midwife. Will try to link it for you.

Here you go dear.

Agree about giving too much personal details here.

ok just went for my appointment and the temporary nurse wouldn't do it cos it isn't a full 3 years since my last one and they try not to do them more frequently unless there is a problem. So I'll have to wait a few months and go back. My Mirena will have been in 5 years later this year so I'll probably have it checked/changed at the same time.

Goodgirl · 22/02/2006 12:01

Thanks Twiglett for this thread. Reading it yesterday made me make an appointment for a smear, which I've been putting off for about 4 months.

RTKangaMummy · 20/03/2006 21:27

well done for going Smile

chjlly · 21/03/2006 13:45

Now I'm settled in our new house and have registered with a doctor I can proudly say mine is booked for the 30th (I think)!!!

jalopy · 21/03/2006 13:49

Thanks, Kanga, what a relief!Grin Well done to you, Chjlly for booking it. I think that's the hardest part of the whole process!

Bozza · 21/03/2006 13:52

Mine is due but I cannot book it because of constant bleeding following insertion of implanon. But I have booked an appt with Family Planning clinic re problems with implanon. But that is not until 7 April so smear will be well after that.
