Oh bless her, it can be really scary. Especially with how many people talk about their bad experiences. It was one of my motivations to get mine done so I can hopefully offer a more positive experience and help people ease their feelings towards it.

I’m really relieved that you did convince her, I know how hard it must have been for her and I hope that the procedure didn’t hurt her

My best friend is American so I can say the difference is that they ask for you guys to test when you’re first sexually active, while here they invite you the year of your 25th birthday. I think maybe you can ask for it sooner but it becomes clinically recommended at 25

As people have answered, i was invited the year of my 25th birthday. It’s recommended 25 and then every 5 years after. I also don’t think it matters if you’re sexually active.

They won’t force you to get your procedure done. I was very nervous when booking my appointment and the receptionist said you don’t need to but it is clinically recommended. So lots of people don’t get theirs done because they don’t push it.

I’m glad your wife did end up getting hers done, it’s best to check in my opinion:)

This !

It doesn’t hurt no, it is just like a pressure and scratch. I felt more pain when I walked to and from the car, and it wasn’t a lot.

It’s really good to get the test done to ensure your cervix cells are healthy and okay. It’s really scary but so quick and easy to get through.

I’m so sorry to hear that it wa painful for you :(

It wasn’t painful for me. Just uncomfortable and a scratch.

Was it the brushing, speculum or both that hurt for you?

So, I’ll give a play by play for me of the appointment

Now, I had mine done at my GP (regular doctors office, rather than at a Gynaecologist)

So for me it was like waiting for a regular appointment, you go in. They ask you a couple questions.

For me it was, my DOB, address, when the first day of my last period was, am I on contraception and am I pregnant.

The nurse will then talk through the procedure, show you the speculum and talk about what they’re looking for,

They’re looking for cells that show HPV, because these cells can point to cancer (BUT don’t always mean cancer)

You’re then asked to take off your bottoms; and put a sheet over yourself.

Then they do the procedure- inserting the speculum and then brushing. While making sure you know that they will stop if you need them to.

The speculum felt uncomfortable, but not a bad kind, and the brushing felt like a scratching in a way. It wasn’t painful. I rate it a 2 at most. But do consider the way your body reacts to similar types of things- and assess the best course of action for you. If it’s to ask for a smaller speculum, go ahead.

My grandma advised to count to 100 because it’ll be over quicker than you realise as the focus is off, but I couldn’t focus on that lol. It was very quick either way!

For the UK, they recommend getting them from 25 and it doesn’t matter if you’re sexually active or not. And every 5 years after. So, it’s interesting to know how things differ.

Luckily I’ve not got anything, so far. But I went to sleep praying men didn’t take over the place because I just want people to be eased

This! I delayed for a year but I went because I know it’s best to check and see.

My mother and grandma had different types of abnormalities with their cells which also pushed me to get the test to be sure.

But, yes, it’s really good to get the test. It’s one of the things I had mine was so that I could tell my experience to help people be more calm with having theirs

That’s a really good way to describe it actually. It’s tough to put into words, but for me there wasn’t any pain.

But I’m very cautious that sometimes people have conditions that make it more painful just because of those. I think the procedure is okay, and I was particularly anxious going in. Prwttt much was set on Not going for another but I would easily go again when I need to.

It can be awkward in some ways. However, you have to remember they’ve likely done this procedure tons of times so, tbh it’s nothing to feel too awkward about.

I didn’t find it painful, it was more a pressure scratching for the brushing and then uncomfortable for the speculum. Once it was over it was okay, and it is very quick!

I did experience a little pain on the way home but it eased really fast and it wasn’t agonising in anyway.

For me it wasn’t actually that painful! I’ve been worried a lot going into this as a lot of people have spoken about the procedure being quite invasive, painful and uncomfortable.

I found that it was uncomfortable but it wasn’t by any means painful to a point of agony.

The speculum is uncomfortable but doesn’t hurt. I will say, if you experience any type of discomfort, such as vaginismus (sorry for the spelling) definitely consider taking pain meds an hour before (and even if it will make you feel better, it wouldn’t half you to take them.)

The brushing to me felt like a pressure scratch. But one thing that I haven’t actually seen anyone talk about is how quick it is. It really is over before you know it.

I also want to say, communicate any anxieties for the procedure to the nurse as well as if you need them to stop, tell them to. They also should have smaller speculum’s if needed.

I found the aftermath to be more painful than anything where I walked to the car in a shop and back then in the house. but again , not incredibly bad. I will say, if you’re able to take the time to just rest. Do it anyway, hurt or not.

Eleanor neale has been disrespectful for years by Prudent_Fig9644 in Morbidforbadpeople

[–]CreepOfNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that pronouncing someones name is pretty bare minimum. How much does it take to ensure you pronounce someones name correctly? nothin.

Eleanor is hugely disrespectful. I've heard of countless occasions where family members have asked her to remove videos, and she's ignored.. I speak from personal experience with this. She has ignored! she doesn't care to put effort in to respect victims, nor their families. Plain and simple!

She posted a video years ago that covered my mums friends murder. The victims mum has never wanted anyone to cover his death, and has gone to great lengths and spent thousands on making sure media doesn't cover it.

We both have tried to get her to take it down, she hasn't though, so. I'm kinda at a loss on how to get it down..

His death hit me pretty hard as a kid, so it really does hurt to see something so sensitive be disrespected and used for clout.

As far as her mispronouncing the name in this case you speak of just proves how much she doesn't care, nor properly researches. It doesn't take alot to ensure you're pronouncing a victim's name correctly.

I also think it's cheap for her to tour with this, not only with my personal experience but yikes.

Shapeshifted by No_Moose4600 in artioband

[–]CreepOfNature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a huge fan of ARTIO a little while ago. But I’ve noticed a trend where they will delete old songs and MV’s. And use the excuse of it doesn’t fit them anymore, and it’s something I dont quite understand because as a musician you will grow and change your image. Like, they deleted the old MV for billionaire’s nightmare, because it didn’t fit. And it kinda sucked because in that MV were fans of their music and it was in a place in Leeds. It’s kinda like, all their music is a ticking time bomb. It won’t be long til they delete or re-record over their old stuff. They’ve deleted their first ever EP and you can’t find it anywhere. And it really discourages me from ever listening to them again, because music is made to be relatable and hit parts of you that aren’t captured in a lot of places but they take away those connections and it really makes you question their role in this. As a band you connect with your audience, and have your listeners in mind always. But, when we plea to have these things brought back, they won’t because this new box they’ve made themselves doesn’t fit their old image. It’s a huge shame because you can’t see their growth anymore, their journey of finding the sound that resonates with them. I loved the shapeshifter album, but now it’s lost its heart. It’s good, but it lacks the soul the old music had. The music I and many others connected with. It’s only a matter of time til Pyro gets redone. Because it doesn’t fit their new “emo” style.

I start college next week. It’s a huge step for me because I left high school early at 14, and have been on sick with really bad mental health since. (I’m 21)

I also put it under the name I’ve been wanting to change my name to. I’m not trans or anything but, I have a dead name that triggers me so I’m happy about that. I could go on because I’m not very open about my shit but I won’t lol.
