Yeah that metal dealie is kinda painful! I'm glad your first experience was good and your nurse and doc were comforting. It's always nice when that first time is a good one. Hopefully now you wont be so scared to go next time!

Keep us updated on your results! Typically you get a little postcard in a week or so saying your pap smear was normal. I was always told I would hear from them unless there was something wrong. Well this last one called me and starts out "I have your syphilis and gonorrhea results back..." (they test that every time) and my heart dropped! She said "and everything came back normal" and I went "THEN WHY DID YOU CALL ME?!" lol

So if you get a phone call or a post card don't flip! Apparently everyone does it differently lol
