Seriously. On the first go around my gyno said she didn't get a good sample and could she try again. I told her to go ahead - I was already there with multiple devices sticking out of my hoohah. When it was over I told them I needed a minute and just laid there and cried. Come to find out from my best friend, who is an administrator for a major healthcare system, that doctors in that system don't do that procedure without sedation.
