HI Womb Community (Ladies), As mentioned in my previous post regarding how uncomfortable the Vault Smear Teast Is and not to mention once again the dreaded waiting times regarding results.
My appointment was on 24th December 2024 at 13:35 pm at the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh informed Dr was running a little late (can't be helped ) so the Consultant seen us sitting waiting and gave us a wee wave saying " your next Williamina & Allistair" waving back saying "NO WORRIES" to him, so went in discussing BP being really low, and low blood count and not forgetting how tired I still feel so he explained everything that caused the blood loss, and the two more extra hours in surgery, Then he mentioned the dreaded Smear Test that had to be done due to the tests not having enough information regarding cancer cells in my cervix so me, So up I hope onto the examination bed expressing how I hoped he had forgotten the examination after ten or so min it was done and dusted and was kindly informed to take it easy for the rest of the day.
NOW it's the waiting time which no doubt will be longer over the festive season I must admit I have been a little nippy and stressed whilst waiting if I'm honest.
How did anyone feel about the Smear Teast was it uncomfortable or a little painful with pain relief.
Anyway I WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR IN 2025 AND ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND YOURS DURING THIS 2025 XXX
Hi again WILMA 08
I've just replied to your previous post asking for other's experiences with a virginal vault smear test and hopefully someone will see it and respond.
I hope it doesn't turn out to be as unpleasant as you're expecting.
((hugs))
