so um today was my first pap smear i wasn't too concerned, it was a routine thing and my shit smells like roses but anyways when she swabbed me it felt like i was getting stabbed and it is SOOOO. sore. OW. OW. i don't know if she was using a drill or whaddafuck it was way worse than a dentist visit fersure but then she told me my shit looked fucking fantastic, and i most likely don't have the herps or nothing lol just wanted to tell a story but i really need a hug :I oouwie
Were you tense? I always just try to relax and be as open as possible and it doesn't hurt. I only feel a little sting. Did it hurt you while she went in with the instrument or at the moment, when she took the sample?
a pap shouldnt hurt. its always going to be uncomfortable though. it would be different if it were a biopsy, those would hurt, but a pap shouldnt IMO. i have only had one painful pap- and it was a military doctor, they dont give a shit if they hurt you.
I don't mind a pap smear..well, I take that back. I hate them and I'm 4 months late rescheduling an OB appointment because I've been putting it off, but they don't hurt me. lol @ mike..those metal instruments certainly look painful
I found just the tools ( I am only kidding) http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piec...zIjoiMS40OSIsInByb2R1Y3RfaWQi OiIyMDA2In0=
Mine have never hurt, just feel weird/uncomfortable and over in 2 seconds. But, I always make sure they use the pediatric speculum. Have you seen the adult sized one?? Holy shit, its as big as a baby's head!!! My gyn said she only uses pediatric ones, there's no reason to get it that open. Now, getting my IUD put in....whole 'nother story!!!!!
I hear you on the IUD. I was told it the third attempt didn't work, it'd be a no-go. I went dead limp.
