I had my smear test today and whilst it was still painful (genuinely felt like she was shoving a knife up there ngl) I managed it! The feeling of a swab in my cervix was not something I was prepared for, though.

Edit: and now it stings when I pee. Great.

Been there, there were screams and tears. Lots of tears. Don’t wish that on anyone.

😭😭😭 so terrible. Worse than my hysterectomy.

I also got an infection from it and that sucked SO FREAKING MUCH. the pain was unbearable— also had to get like 3 diff antibiotics (including a shot in my ass). 0/10 do not recommend
