Smear Test part 6
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just had my smear test, when did you ladies last have yours or when are you due?
According to the nurse my last was in 2013, I feel sick that it’s been that long and having seen many complications with things down below I’m annoyed with myself even more. |

I'll probably only get one more according to NHS guidelines but I've never missed one and have always encouraged our daughter to keep her appointments and to not feel embarrassed about seeing medical professionals about any gynae problems.
I'm always surprised that people who will happily show their all to someone with an NVQ in hair and beauty when they get waxed are shy about the nurse. |

"Can't remember exactly, but my GP reminds me and I go. I think I'm in the less often category as I had the full set of cervical cancer vaccines. "
Still need to go every 3 years as that only prevents certain type oc cervical cancer |

I do what my GP says. They were talking about making me less frequent, but I'll follow their advice whatever it is. |

Have a very close relative who had hot colposcopy treatment following a regular smear test, adverse result and cold colposcopy treatments. She's all clear and very happy with her treatment.  |

I’m very fortunate to be here thanks to cervical screening. I was given laser treatment for precancerous cells aged 19. Afterwards I was put on 6 month check ups. Very quickly I developed a phobia of having them done, I left if over 10 years!
When my ex husband and I were seeking fertility treatment my gp refused to refer until I had a smear test done, I think she had suspected something amiss after an examination. She saved my life! I was diagnosed with cancer, fortunately it was removed successfully and I needed no further treatment.
I still have the phobia but with the help of a great nurse at my surgery, a mild sedation I’m getting really anxious and hubby holding my hand I get through it. I’ve finally got the all clear and been put onto the normal screening schedule after several years of 6 month and then yearly checks |

I’m not sure actually.. I must becoming up due for one soon though.. will call the GP tomorrow to check, I haven’t missed one yet!
My sister didn’t have a smear for about 6/7 years and when Jade Goody died she finally went and unfortunately had an abnormal result. Thankfully she had the treatment is is all clear! |

Thanks Kat, years and years ago I opted out of getting reminder letters through the post as it traumatized me so I'm not sure they'll send me one now if the opt out still stands. |

Nurse at last smear complemented me on my smoothness lol. Mine don't hurt just feel cold and a slight drag sensation if anything. Colposcopy if you need one was painless and interesting watching live TV show of your cervix  |

Try not to worry. There’s no evidence of cervical cancer correlating with other cancers. It’s mainly caused by the high risk strains of the HPV virus, which is what they test for now. |

I have yearly checks because my first two came back abnormal and although the colposcopy came back all clear, they keep an eye on me. Should have it this month or next x |

Mines next year. Cervical cancer is very popular in my family, my aunt died at 32 of it and my mum had it. I was diagnosed with CIN3 at 23 yeard old... 2 year before i was illegally aloud a test. If it wasnt for a very good doctor, things would be so different for me now. Please remember to get checked ladies  |

I’ve had my smear which now tests for HPV. This should mean that changes in the cervix are picked up much more quickly, as those testing positive will have a repeat smear in a year |

I can finally have one!
I’m asking for one at my six week check (which is in three weeks). I’m too young to actually have one, but they give them to all those who have given birth. Yay! |

Im surprised they dont have a photo of mine on the wall in the clinic I've had so many , lletz or whatever it was called when i was younger so every 6 months for a bit, then hpv so more frequent, then nurses not familiar with lletz scarring so colposcopy again, biopsies, more abnormal cells, got another booked tomorrow and had some unexplained bleeding so a little nervous
Tbh if i need treatment i will be annoyed that they didn't just refer me back in april when they sent me a letter saying you have an abnormal result please return in 4 months , then you lose track of time and then cant get an appointment and next thing you know nearly 6 has gone by  |

Ever heard of them refusing a test before the 6 months wait? I had abnormal in april, i thought the letter said come back 4 months but must have said 6 , anyway i went due to irregular bleeding and was refused a smear because i am 10 days before the 6 months since last one  its 3 months for a new non emergency appointment so how do you think im managing to come back in 10 days? Oh just go to your gp instead |

"That is great news, so pleased for you x
Thank you, the new testing is so much better "
Wish the appointment system was 
Just got my letter through for colposcopy and 6 months after an abnormal smear, and a month of abnormal bleeding, i have to wait another 2 months for an appointment 
The last time i had lletz i actually thought it was an appointment error and would be sent home, i had been there 4 weeks earlier with no issues and sent away with some gels to sort out my ph balance , the appointment from my smear result then came through and they said just come back in just incase and it has progressed so much in 4 weeks i had cells removed there and then
so how on earth can they justify an 8 month wait now ... im going to go private to try get seen quicker |
