It is uncomfortble for me, but not painful and only lasts a short moment, I never knew that some women suffer like you describe. Sorry to ask, but do you get period type pain afterwards or is it painful where they take the swab? Because I only find the swab bit unpleasant but don't have any other pains anywhere else.
Discomfort and pain during the test, and afterwards too. Like period pains then fades to soreness.
Try and take something to calm and relax you
Shiv I'm with you I hate having them done and mine's is long over due. My last one only hurt when it was being done after that I was fine but it's just the thought. I avoid going to the doctors altogether as I know they are going to pull me up about it. Maybe we should go and get legless in a pub then go and get it done together.

Just can't think of what it could be, I am not relaxed when I go but force myself for the obvious reasons, ubt I go once a year. Going for a drink beforehand with you guys sounds fantastic.
Wish I could think of something more than the obvious, talk to the doc but I guess you have done that
The crazy thing is I pass my doctors surgery everyday on the way to work, it's less than 5 mins up the road but it's just the thought of going in and making an appointment then getting stressed out about it. I keep putting it off but I know I have to go. I just wish they would knock you out when they do it. i'd even pay.

My last one was a breeze because the doctor spent about 10 mins. chatting to me before we actually got started, just about general things, kids, holidays etc... we were so deep in conversation that she did it before i realised what was happening. do you think you could start a conversation with the doc first?
