Please tell me to stop being a wuss and go for a smear...

[IckyNC]

Eugh after painful sex last year I eventually went to the doctor and she dignosed me with lichen sclerosus.
Had to use a steroid cream and have yearly smear tests and check on the condition.
Tried to book an appointment with the same doctor a couple of weeks ago, to be told the next appoitnments would be released today. Just rung now to be told she's booked up for the next 3 weeks then might be going on maternity...
I really don't want to see anyone else, I've had some really painful smears :(
Please tell me to grow up!

Come on op! Woman up! It will be over before you know it!
Sorry you've had all that to deal with in your undercarriage, still best to make sure all is well eh?

but but... whimpers pathetically

Get going. Yes, it isnt the nicest experience but its over in a matter of minutes.

Here in Ireland we are dealing with the fall out of a National Scandal in our health system regarding women's smears. Look after yourself and take ownership of your health. Make that appointment asap

Stop being a wimp and go for a smear

And promise yourself a treat after you go. Afternoon on the sofa, with nice music and a bar of Bournville.

I know I am due for one too.
I also know my nethers are not the same after my 2nd child and I get quite embarrassed about it all!!
However I WILL be going and so should you

Stop being a wuss, go for a smear, and then treat yourself with a bit of retail therapy afterwards (that's what I do....)

bleugh... thanks guys :)
Before I saw the nice doctor it was quite painful! So I convinced myslf it'd be fine this time with her because it was last time! Her not being available threw me! Will ring up now :(

Well done! Let us know how it goes
