48 sorry to hear your mums return has been delayed. Sending lots of well-wishes your way.

finally managed the STI clinic this morning - have been trying to get tests for the last three days - Wednesday - couldn't get through on the phone, so dropped by the sexual health clinic closest to my work (according to the internet) which now doesn't do sexual health services and closed 4 YEARS AGO Yesterday, I drove to nearest-to-house sexual health clinic after DS1s CAHMS appointment. Clinic is a 'walk in' clinic, which advertises services between four and six PM. I got there at a quarter past FIVE and they had just given out the last appointment Today, I went to clinic in major Central London hospital and it was lovely. They were ALL fab. Now have girl crush on the nurse who offered to do my vaginal swabbing if I didn't want to do it myself. Have mega pack of condoms as well. hurrah NHS! you got there in the end...

ike1 · 15/03/2013 11:33

Oh hahaha Bant, my old cat Stanley used to wake me up by biting my nose...you could tell he was about to do it from the stench of fishy cat breath!

ike1 · 15/03/2013 11:35

Oh gash Snape I should go really...havent had a smear for over 6 years ..that's BAAAD isnt it????

48howdidthathappen · 15/03/2013 11:37

Same here ike maybe longer.

48howdidthathappen · 15/03/2013 11:41

Have had breast screening. Wish I had bigger boobs for that

ike1 · 15/03/2013 11:41

Not gash....oh dear....

Snapespeare · 15/03/2013 11:49

everyone go and get your bits looked at! yes it's bad to have not had a smear for SIX years!!

mercury7 · 15/03/2013 11:49

I went 13 years without a smear test, then went regularly for a while, but have now left it for about 4.
I should just 'man up' and make an appointment!
Perhaps we could make an online pact, those of us who have let it lapse?

Snapespeare · 15/03/2013 12:01

I'll start a thread! :) MN as a force for good and all that - suggest thread title 'FANJO-check STAT!'

Snapespeare · 15/03/2013 12:05

Actually, I won't because I always go and get regular smears, because I had an abnormal one a few years ago and it scared me - So I might end up being a bit preachy...I think one of the non-smearers should pledge to smear....

OhWesternWind · 15/03/2013 12:10

I've actually got an appointment for mine on Monday - put it off but only for a couple of months.

AndLibbyMakesThree · 15/03/2013 12:15

I've already decided to make an appointment next month. I haven't had one for about 9 years. I know that's really bad, but the last one was so traumatic that I just haven't been able to face the thought of going through it again.

lubeybooby · 15/03/2013 12:25

I am due one... but I have a polyp on my cervix and I'm scared it will hurt and just generally scared... I need to just grit my teeth and get on with it though as it's overdue.

MirandaWest · 15/03/2013 12:54

I had a smear some time not that long ago. Also went to GUM clinic after I discovered XHs meandering ways. That was not exactly dignified but was also OK. Am not looking forward to having coil taken out and new one put in - is due in October. That was very ouchy.

JulietteMontague · 15/03/2013 12:56

48 I do hope it is all settled with your Mum soon, it must be tough waiting around to get her settled. No comment at all regarding dumping Mr R&R. Not one not five .

Bant Missy the cat, still sniggering here.

Velvet not odd, also maybe that is also why he mentioned dating a builder if he has builder relatives as its something he has around him. It's also Friday so your mind will be wandering towards missing C which has the potential to induce a wobble. Nothing changed.

Snape yay for good sti clinics on the nhs, they do vary wildly and there is a very stylish walk in one in Soho aimed at gay men.

Do get screened everyone, and check your boobs and balls. No matter how horrid it is, it will never be as bad as waiting to find out biopsy results.

48howdidthathappen · 15/03/2013 13:09

Juliette I think I am averaging dumping twice a month Last sunday I went one step further and turned my phone off, so he couldn't call me. He has asked for my landline now. He is a bloody saint

Got a GP appointment early April for my depression, which is much better thanks to ADs. Will book a smear.

JulietteMontague · 15/03/2013 13:20

48 he does sound lovely. Totally human and lovely .

pixiebelle123 · 15/03/2013 13:56

Happy Friday everyone!

48 - I'm sorry to hear about your mum, fingers crossed the correct care package can be put in place soon.

All ladies - as a preachy ex nurse I demand that you all get smear tests! The 2 mins of discomfort is well worth it.

Do you know, since posting on here about how great things are going with POF man I'm now not so sure! He spends a lot of time at my house, which is lovely, and my kids adore him. But I've only met his DCs twice, he is reluctant for our DCs to meet yet which makes it almost impossible for me to spend time with his as we have them the same weekends. He is moody and has shouted at me a couple of times when he's cross. He works crazy hours and I just feel like I have to slot into his life and work around him all the time. The relationship generally feels a bit imbalanced but if I try to talk to him about it he gets cross and tells me I need to chill out. Grrrr.

Don't get me wrong, he is lovely a lot of the time! But it feels like there are a few red flags after only a few months.

Hmm Pixie He does seem a bit of a control freak. I wouldn't be happy with the shouting or dismissing my opinion. This should be the honeymoon period.

AndLibbyMakesThree · 15/03/2013 14:26

Pixie, how long have you been together? If it's still early days then I'm inclined to agree with 48 - this should be the honeymoon period and you should be seeing his best side. Shouting at you sounds like a red flag to me, and the fact that he won't talk about the relationship is worrying - how are you supposed to make things better if he won't discuss it?

ike1 · 15/03/2013 14:34

Chill out...no way...!!!
