hes said girl you betta try to have fun no matter what you do... but hes a fool....
haha ahh. sorry, thats my sinead o conner coming out.
But the doctor did say that i didnt need a smear til im 25 I went for my first and he didnt do one and said i didnt need one? kinda relieved, kinda worried at the same time... i didnt know i had to be 25? weirrrd shizzle.

think all docs are different. Here you get a smear either after you have a baby or after you become sexually active. In my case i got one when i was 17 not long after i had adele.

It was the same here, they wait til you are sexually active-

I can't remember the last time i had one, about 2-3 years ago i think??

i was due for one last december but i was PG and really need to get it done again but i keep putting it off

I don't mind having the cos lets face it there is nothing worse than a male doctor looking at your bits during childbirth!!! I just can't remember if its 2 or 3 yrs to have one. I'm sure they will get in touch with me.

its supposed to be every 3 years, up here its always the nurse that does it here so its not so bad, i just dont like taking adele or colby with me so its trying to get an appointment when Oh hasnt been nightshift so will make one on monday and hopefully have it done before the thursday

apparently the nurse lady said that a certain amount of girls from between the age of 16-24 have abnormal cells which would require expensive burning off treatments, but apparently the burning isnt always necesary because the cells rectify themselves naturally, hence the age 25 thing. So they dont have to pay for the cervical burning if there are abnormal cells because they will go back to normal on there own?? hmmmmm

never heard of that one hun, i just assumed everyone got one as soon as they became sexually active or had a baby

I started having smears when i was 23 i think .. but they kept coming back abnormal so had to go back and have re tests every six months so was going to have to go for a test (cant remember what it is .. they use a camera though ) and then when one came back normal i am now having them every year .. pain really but rather that then have something wrong and them not pick it up. I got to have my next one on tuesday actually .. not nice but has to be done.

Its 25 here too! for the exact reason you said above mel !
