Girl that is just one little thing in
life. I know exactly how you feel. I
felt so violated when I got my first one.
Just think the doctor I had was a man and
he was scary looking. But I just hung in
there and got it done. It only takes but
a minute and you are done. Trust me it
seems like it will be forever but it is
only like two minutes. Just try to relax
and before you know it, it is over. It
doesn't hurt for most people especially if
your not a virgin. It just feels like
there is a little pressure. Don't stress.

Do not worry, the Dr. Has seen hundreds
and possibly thousands of them, just do
not douche or have sex rhe night before,
no one that I know of thoroughly enjoys
this as the poster replied , that you will
be o.K. And that it will go by fast and,
make sure you breathe. Make sure you do
not cancel unless you are on your period
and try your berst to be possitive. I
know you can do this!
Good luck
sincerely,
sandy

First thing that you have to take into
account is if you would prefere a woman or
a man as your doctor. I personally
prefer men because they are much more
gentle on your goods. If this isn't your
type of thing, then opt for the woman.
If you go in there and meet your doctor
and don't feel at leat 90% comfortable
with the doctor tell them, and look for a
new one.
Basically the whole procedure takes less
than three minutes and really isn't as
invasive as you would think, the only time
that they actually touch you with their
finger is during the later part of the
procedure when they gently press from both
the inside of your vagina and your lower
abdomen.
The pap test is the least of your worries,
coming back with an abnormal screening
(which you might, considering that even
though you slept with only one guy
hpv-human pavoloma virus- is prevelent in
over 80% of americans) from there it could
lead to cryosurgury. :(

Youd think after 2 kids a pap smear would
be nothing,but I still hate them and im 35
I have a lady doctor,i figure she knows
what its like she has to have them too,but
shes nice and I feel comfotable with her
it took me a while to find a good
doctor,but yes you have to have them once
your sexally active just try to get a
doctor you feel comfortable with.

Eh. They gyno doesn't bother me one bit.
It takes less than 10 minutes for the
exam. The longest part is waiting for him
(or her) to come to the room! Well, in my
experience...
Anyway, if you have a male doctor, there
will be a female nurse in the room with
you. I have had both male and female
doctors and to be honest, I cannot find a
difference. I requested a female this
last time and wound up with a male. Oh
well.
Tests are important, even if you've only
slept with one guy. When I was 24 I had
an abnormal pap and had to have biopsies
done. Then, it was confirmed that I had
dysplasia level iii - severe (level 4 is
cancer). I had day surgery where they
removed the infected tissue from my
cervix. I had to return every 6 months
until my tests were normal for 2 years...
So, I guess I got used to it.
But now I make sure I go and I feel so
much better afterwards! Asking for birth
control should be the least of your
worries.
