When having a smear, has the nurse ever found it hard to find your cervix?

[pointydog]

Never happened to me before. Found it a bit odd.

[Katy44]

What, all at the same time

[milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo]

Well I have had a baby KatyM bit roomier these days!

[Katy44]

LOL
Have an impression of someone with his head up there, shouting hellooooooooooo
Sorry if TMI, and not about you personally

[lou33]

i ahve to tell them to use the extra long ones

[Katy44]

How do you bring that up?
"Yes it IS a lovely day, and oh by the way, can I have the 'Super' speculum, please?"

[suey2]

home now. Katy44 i am due in december. much relieved to read your post! Will try and do massage myself (am physio) if i can reach by then!

[pointydog]

I'll have a super skinny long one with extra gel, please

[lou33]

i just brazen it out, and tell them they wont find it unless they get their longest speculum lol

Smear no 1- awful, took over 1/2 hour for the FPC nurse to find it, as apparently mine was so far back, I should have had super plus long speculum

Smear no 2- told GP the problems the first time, she did an internal first to find my cervix, then the smear itself was no trouble, really quick and easy. Apparently my cervix is tilted.

[pointydog]

look at you all with your knowledge of super long speculums. Like a secret society

[LadySnotAlot]

Yup, mine is very high and tilts backwards. I like to be awkward. To top it off, I have to go for a smear every bloody year! That reminds me, got another one to book now

[gess]

Is it retroverted. I've been party to many a conversation about the position of my cervix. During birth/miscarriage & smear tests! And as for the attempt at using a cap. OH MY GOD. They had to bring in the nurse with extra large hands......

[foxcub]

Yes every time - my passage is all bendy and they can never find it...

[FlameParakeet]

lmao!!! This all reminds me of when I went for an internal scan (non pg), and the doc is saying to her student "And here should be the second ovary"

[FrannyandZooey]

Ooh, get you lot with your fancy high cervices

mine just squats there waiting to be banged uncomfortably during intercourse

any old fool with a marigold could find it

[pointydog]

rofl and splutter @ franny

[pointydog]

maybe your dp has a super skinny long penis

ever thought of that, eh?

[FrannyandZooey]

No but thank you for the suggestion

I have in fact had intercourse with gentlemen other than dp before drawing my conclusions

this thread is going BADLY wrong, isn't it?

[pointydog]

just prod it a bit with one of the long speculums. A bit like pushing back cuticles

I have found this thread very interesting

[LadyTophamSortingHatt]

yes, every time.

[EffiePerine]

at those with obviously aut pelvic floors - gp severely dissed my pelvic floor at my last smear

she did find my cervix (eventually) - think the pelvic floor was blanketing it somehow

[EffiePerine]

taut

[FlameParakeet]

tears of laughter!

[pointydog]

No pelvic floor discussion for me. Had to talk about my holiday in france while nurse re-entered. Felt liek saying, 'let's forget it'
