Girl Troubles

So last week I went to the gynecologist, and has my full inspection. they sent away my pap smear And found that it's clean except they're missing a certain type of cell. sooo, now I have to go BACK in and get another pap. -.- euw.

No fun! And... weird too, isn't it?

I hate them so much!

Apparently not all that unusual. still crappy -.- I think I'm having one of those weeks.. *sigh*

I hate getting those too. Im glad I have a good doctor....no worries on the missing cell type, it was probably just not found in the smear, or too damaged to be analyzed. Heres hoping someoens working on improving the pap!

Sucks to the fullest!! I hate having those things done,,Ive had so many Im just gonna start asking for the do-it-yourself kit!!!LOL!!

you know, I think your on to something there! DIY then just drop it off at the office, and then if there is something "odd" then you can go in...

Uuuurgh i got my "invite" to go for mine last week!.

I wouldn't worry Denise because when they sent my reminder they put a leaflet in saying not to worry if you get called back because it could be something that they couldn't get a proper reading from like yours obviously didn't.

The nurse had a job getting a sample from my last one 3 years ago that in the end she had to get something that i can only describe as looking like a mascara brush to scrape away the cells that way

Oh i hope it's not the same this time

Yucko! I've been successfully avoiding mine for awhile. It's hard to find a lady doctor in this town and I just can't let the old fart male family doctor do it. I suppose I should make an appointment with the clinic, but somehow it's not something that I'm looking forward to doing so I keep putting it off. The doctors keep on threatening to not give me birthcontrol pills....but I know they will...afterall, I am a 23yr old woman! HAHA for once my young age WORKS for me!

here in germany its obligatory to go every 6 months when you are on the pill onwards. so i have to go in 2 weeks

I get to go in for a pap on Thursday morning.......anyone want to come with me!?

Ladies, do what you have to do. I had cervical cancer in 1972 and had to have paps done every 2 months for a year, then every 6 months for a couple of years and finally once per year. Better safe than sorry even if it is a yukky exam.

Oh, what a pain!

Oh i agree!. As much as i hate it theres no way i would miss one.

SYLOMA: Please get one done because even at 23 your not immune from cervical cancer

Definately a yucky, yet vital test! I am sure everything will turn out fine. It is definately better to get everything checked out properly!

Don't worry, I will. Especially with Polycysticovarian Syndrome running in the family (yay! I get to partake!). It was just so much easier when I was at school and could go to the clinic there, where they had many female doctors and they didn't fight over clients (unlike the local business here, where they've all agreed not to take each others patients, so you can't switch doctors even if you want to).
I'll call the clinic tomorrow. This has been a good reminder.

Good girl! I keep nagging a girl i work with who's never had one done but i can't get it through to her

Absolutely right! I had cervical cancer in '93. I really don't want to make this more scary for anyone, but it is HIGHLY IMPORTANT to never miss a pap exam. If anyone wants more info as to why, please PM me.

I think if there's one thing in this world that ALL women hate, it's getting a smear test done. It's even worse if you get a gynaecologist who isn't exactly the most gentle thing on the planet. Certainly mine was a bit ham-handed and I think I walked like John Wayne on the way out of there.... hope it goes well beb. One is bad enough but two? Bleaugh.
