> ((((( Tamar)))))) I don't know what has exactly happened in your past, but I have a good idea by what you have just posted.
General bad stuff. Mainly being raped by a couple of guys when I was a teenager… and a few other things…
> I hate those exam and nothing bad has happened to me in that area. I just had my pap down a couple of months ago, and it had been over 5 years.
It’s never a barrel of laughs, is it? I think it’s time someone came up with some new technology, like a blood test or perhaps a saliva test…
> I am glad you have a supportive DH to go with you. I am sure it made it easier for the OBGYN too and she must of knew something was up for your DH to be there. I think it is good that you cried too,
You have a good point. I was really insistent that he had to stay so they must have guessed. And yes, the crying was a good thing!
> do you think you can do it again next year, or was it just too hard?
Ah, if only I could wait until next year! I have to go back in six weeks to get the IUD checked. Another day, another speculum…
I’m hoping it will be OK. I may take my husband, or I might ask a friend. But having done it once, I feel I can face it again, with a bit of support.
Thanks Happyflower.
