I am in a serious relationship, and so I decided to go to the gynecologist, get some birth control pills, and have my fun parts checked out. It was the first time I went to the gynocologist.
At first, when I informed the nurse that I was menstruating, I was told to come in another time because the doctor could not examine me. Then the doctor said she could because I had mentioned that my flow was not to heavy.
So I go in.
"I'll be right back. Take of your clothes."
"All of them?"
"All of them."
So I strip, including my undies, and put on the little gown that they make you wear and waited for her to come back. I sippose that a little blood on the gown doesn't matter because they sterilize them. When she came back, we discussed birth control pills and how they work.
Then it was time for the pap smear.
"Place you legs in the stirrups. Okay, you know what a speculum is, right?"
"Yeah...uh...its this metal thing that they stick into your cervix and scrape a little bit of..."
"Very good. Now just relax...I see your legs are a little tense...just relax..."
*sensation of cold metal being inserted*
"Just relax...breathe deeply..."
*Sensation of metal being moved across cervix*
*Jeanette gritting teeth and trying hard not to kick the doctor in the face*
*sensation of metal
scraping across cervix and painful pinch*
"Eee...oww.."
"There we go. All finished."
I thought there weren't any nerve endings in the cervix but I guess I was mistaken.
Thank God I am only going to have to do this once a year.
And I used to think going to the dentist was bad...
