just had it done...and it took all of 10 seconds...
yet there are still a lot of women out there that keep putting it off, using the move to Dubai, not having their own GP etc as an excuse..
girls...go and make an appointment, get it over and done with...it can prevent a lot trouble later on...

Hello.Kitty

10 seconds?! Don't think much of their bedside manner! lol

MataHari

well...it was good for me...

Yeah, it's just the thought of it that puts me off - the actual test isn't so bad. In australia they have a national register - they send you out a letter whenever you're overdue for one and tell you to get in and have it done.

MataHari

yes, same in Holland and the UK I believe...but here you have to take the initiative yourself, and thats when a lot of women stop having them...
I think the thought of maybe having cancer and not doing anything about it is more off putting in the long run...

MissDemeanor

Ive got mine on monday..dreading it.
One good thing though....you can remind me when its time for the next one!

MataHari

lol...see you in 3 years time

MissDemeanor

is it? i thought it was 5....or is it because we have hit the age of having to have them earlier!!

MataHari

it's 5 after 50...

MissDemeanor

oh god..how unfair is that?

MataHari

lol...more time for the cobwebs to form...

MissDemeanor

Oh well...at least there is one thing to look forward to when we hit the point of no return.

I thought it was every 3 years only for those having more than one sexual partner...or having more than 59 pairs of shoes...same difference.

MissDemeanor

maybe you shouldnt think so much...

MataHari

typical comment to be expected of you I suppose...mister Viagra

while it's true that women who have a lot of sexual partners (or are in a relationship with a man that fcks round) have a higher risk, every woman up to the age of 50 should have a 3 year check up...
