Trying For a Baby III

Nunny dont u get letters all the time? Theyve been sending me them since I was 18 and have all been ignored. I dont fancy having other people putting things up there... its ok when its me or OH but a stranger?! lol

Not had a letter about it at all and I'm 24 now. My SIL2B works in my doctors though, so I'll get on the blower to her to ask when I need one

Ladies...why are we not having smear tests??? I don't mean to be shirty about it but your not being very responsible towards your own health. Knowing several people who have been caught early and cured and one who wouldn't go because it's embarrassing and is now dead - I think smear tests are necessary!

Yeah they aren't my fav event, but it's once every 3 years for most. What happens if it turns out you have a little one and then either whilst pregnant or not long after having little one you find out you have cervical cancer which has spread too far. How would you feel knowing you could have prevented it?

Sorry for being so dramatic and shocking but I feel it's VERY IMPORTANT! Trust me, it's over very quick. Besides, you have a baby and you'll have half the worlds population starring/having a route round up there (so my sister says).

Sorry...just read that back and it sounds awful. But I honestly can't understand why people would rather burry their head in the sand. If nothing else thats one thing Jade Goody has done for us - the screening up take has shot up. Please, please go.

Just been reading this page and they say no reason for someone under the age of 25 to have a smear.

I totally understand where you're coming from twinklie, I haven't got a problem with going and having one, but I asked one of my previous doctors to book me in for one as my mum and nana both have had abnormal smears and he said there was no need

Im 23 and have been having letters and arguements with the doctor since i turned 18 infact they tried to book me in for one at 17 then noticed my age and cancelled it But Im finally biting the bullet and going and twinklie I know Iv been stupid... *slaps hand*

twinklie

Yeah they changed the rules so people under 25 don't have them in England. Used to be 18 though - I've been going since 18. Sorry Nunny I didn't realise you were only 24. Our posts must have crossed.

jac - I have never managed to get a strong positive on an OPK, I always seem to time it wrong and get a fainter line. Just keep BDing to be on the safe side!

As for me, CD5 here nothing to report aside from a very teary-hormonally-emotional weekend which culminated in me freaking out and crying at the snozone looking like a total muppet. Hey ho. Life's pretty trying as a woman sometimes..

Thanks that's pretty much what I was thinking Bitzer! Trying to work out how i should approach it tonight to get him in the mood, twice a week is normally a push, twice in two days is almost unheard of:rotfl:
Good luck Emmzy that sounds horribly unpleasant!! Yes smears are pretty horrid but Twinklie is perfectly correct they will seem like a lovely day out compared to what happens when you have had the baby. TMI but DS was 9lb 81/2 oz and I tore pretty badly - everyone and their mate had a look afterwards (we were quite the freak show in hospital especially as I had him in about 45 mins:rotfl:) and what the consultant did to me at my 12 week check up bordered on assault and still makes me tighten certain muscles when I think about it :eek: I only say cos I know it won't put anyone off, we're all too far down the road to go back now!!

On a lighter note, jealous of your hols too confuzzled, Vegas is fab (think I may have already said but don't forget the Italian in New York New York)!! We may have some sun in October with a trip to Portugal but that's looking a bit unlikely now. Want to take DS to Disneyland Paris next year but it's so expensive!! Will def go to Spain again with parents next year but would like to book something now cos looking forward to it and planning is the best bit!!

twinklie

emmzy I didn't realise you were only 23 as well. Not sure if it's a compliment or an insult but you both come across as older in your posts. :rotfl:

Its just a subject I'm particularly sensitive about. Mother induced touchy subject. I have since climbed down from my high horse! *ahem*

emmzy

:eek: If I lived in england I wouldnt need one yet? Whats the deal with that? surely where I live doesnt make a difference on my insidey bits?
