I've built myself up for the colposcopy for a few weeks. To be honest, I was petrified. 
My friend dropped me at the hospital and my heart raced in my chest as I walked along the corridors. As I signed in at the desk I felt nervous and struggled to remember my personal details. 
The cervical cancer posters in the waiting room didn't help, nor did the fact that other patients had support with them. I was on my own and immediately began to regret my decision. Nevertheless, I fought back the tears. 
Eventually, my name was called. I stood up, met the nurse, entered the room and burst in to tears. I wasn't actually too worried about any results. I was scared about the procedure about to take place. 
The staff were lovely and tried hard to reassure me. 
The procedure was uncomfortable but my pain threshold is minimal! I couldn't apologise enough for my silly tears!

It was over in about 15 mins and I'm feeling fine now. Not nearly as bad as I thought I might be.
