Heh that made me laugh. You are right. I used to be the person who encouraged all my girl friends to get their first pap test and take care of themselves but have let it slide over the years. Body image issues have sort of put me off it.

The pelvic ultrasound yesterday went so well. The lady doing it was incredibly nice (even though I stripped from the waist down too early as I was nervous and was all tripping over everything) and walked me through it gently and explained whatever she was going to do before she did it. So that gives me a little bit of courage to get in and get a pap test and get on top of things for the yearly thing us females need to watch out for.
Thanks for this!
