I actually find them a little better than a normal pap smear, cos they're done by my GYN who is so much better at such things than the stupid nurse at my GP's who won;t believe me how much it damned well hurts when she does it.

thanks for your encouraging note, I don't know what kind of biopsy i will be having but have been freaking about the pain factor, so maybe it won't be all that bad, will know in 2 hours.
Once I had fibroids or dometreosis or something, and a d+c for that 20 years back, i was deliberately vague as to my illness, which is a bad thing, all my docs want that info now, i don't even remember the name of the hospital i had the operation at, then had one abnormal pap 5 years ago, and mom and sister have had surgeries, hysterectomies and miscarriages too, so i've been waiting for my own cancer call, the menstrual periods have gotten bad, if you know what i mean, and now this DUB thing, so i just assume must mean i'll be planning my funeral this year instead of the wedding. I know nothing about the female reproductive system, all I care about is my sex drive and so long as that's working I ignore the whole rotten swamp below the belt. Wish I knew what to expect today, ISOM will explain all this later I bet, the few websites I looked at this weeekend are too scary to read, I am that bleedin ignorant. But your testimony makes it sound like this problem may be manageable, I'm going in blind, passive, the whole female body is too peculiar and complicated for me to study, rocket science, I "know" I should be more informed wouldn't it be nice if this was not some terminal illness but a spiritual wake-up-and-smell-the-goddess lesson, wouldn't that be a pretty thing? Anyways. I have half a mind to go back to bed, but going public with my appointment makes me obligated to go thru with it, or end up with egg on my face in front of y'all. OK, talk to you soon.trouble
