When was the last time you had a pap smear?

[sushee]

I got a reminder while pg to Charlie, went in when Charlie was 4 months old and was told I couldn't get one in the first 6 months of BF, so I went in when he was 15 months old and got it done!

My MIL never lets me forget. If not for her yearly mammograms, she would never have found out she had breast cancer. So she's really believes early detection saves lives.

At my six week check up after DS was born - so its only been a year. Pity can't have one now.. pregnant.. hehe

I just had one about 2 mths ago. Before I was pregnant with Izzy I hadn't had one for 7 years *slaps wrist hard* and when I finally did go I had stage 2 and 3 abnormal cells and had to have a biopsy and heat treatment for it and now I have to have very frequent, regular pap smears. Please ladies if you are overdue - go pick up the phone right now and book in. I will never let myself go so far over with appointments because it was really scary and not pleasant having the treatment.

I was due for one in April last year, but because I was hoping to be pg by then I had one in September 06. It worked out really well because Alister was born in September so its an easy reminder. I am due for another one this year.

I get mine done around DD's even numbered birthday. Bit annoyed though I had one at the 6 week checkup after she was born, but it was never tested. At my last smear they could not find the previous results ( different Dr at clinic than normal). Think it must have been missed due to all the other stuff that gets discussed at the 6 week checkup, so next time I might keep it separate.

I asked my Dr about the thin prep and he wasn't that happy with it compared the usual method, but I just cannot remember why.

Had one in Masrch last year before the fertility treatment so less than a year.

SHEL on the other hand has NEVER had one, and every time I bring it up she finds a way to get out of it. I should just make her an appointment and not tell her!!!!
