Hi

I, like many of the other posters, have experienced two traumatic and unsuccessful smear tests.  I have never liked having them (who does?!), however the last two have been extremely painful and I had to ask the nurse to stop before she obtained a sample.  I spent the rest of the day (the test was 9am) feeling faint and sick and in pain to the point where I had to take pain killers.  I had a baby in 2009 after fertility treatment (c-section), and had a 'normal' smear 12 months later, but nothing until two years ago when I experienced the first of the two unsuccessful smears.

I booked an appointment with a female doctor immediately after the smear but have got to wait until 5 March to see her.  

I am starting to have ( irrational?) thoughts that maybe I have cancer or other reasons for not being able to have a successful smear as I also have bladder issues which seem to have become worse over the last 12 months.

I could really do with some supportive words - am I worrying needlessly?  

PS - I am not normally a worrier or go to the doctor at all but this has really shaken me.
