  • evening ladies. Looks like some of you have been very busy today :T:T. It's a good job the half term is near as I have mauch flying to catch up on :o.

    *GRUMBLE ALERT*

    Well went for my smear call back tonight. What a palaver (sp!)
    It wasn't the usual nurse I see and this one didn't exactly fill me with confidence.
    Firstly, I was due for my pill to be renewed and she suggested I should be looking at more long term methods of contraception such as the implant or coil. (As far as I am aware, you can't have the coil fitted if you have had an abnormal smear!) I explained that I was happy with the mini pill that I was on and unless there was a reason to come off it (relating to the previous abnormal smear) then I didn't see the reasoning in changing to another method that may not suit me as well.
    Then she said she wasn't sure whether she sould do the smear as it had only been 5 months since the last one and not 6 and the lab may send it back and refuse to process it. I explained that the surgery had sent me a letter telling me to make the appointment and so I was just following their advice.
    Bearing in mind I had had to dig out the pop socks, slip on shoes, floaty skirt, trim the lady garden (TMI :o) and mentally prepare myself for the test, the last thing I wanted to do was go back again in another month If I didn't have to.

    She eventually decided to do the smear after all. (felt like being scraped with a razor blade, to me the new plastic speculum seems more painful then the old method).

    Sorry for being a moaning mini, but I was hoping to come away from the consulation reassured or at least better informed after worrying myself silly after the abnormal result last time. Hey ho, I know some of you ladies have much worse things to contend with, so apologies for grumbling, but just needed to vent:)

    Toots - thanks sweetie. Hopefully I won't hear anything for a while as everything will have sorted itself out down there on its own :). I am going to put it to the back of my mind now and put my energy into flying. God knows the house needs it. The one good thing about these dull winter days is that you can see all the dust and fingerprints :rotfl:
