COLPOS SUCK.
They hurt like hell. More after the fact than during, but during, too.
Ow. Ow. Ow. Dammit I SAID OWWWWW.
Please send good vibes that I just have funny looking cells. You know. Funny lookin. More’n most cells even.
I won’t know for a few weeks, but this is the second time in a year I’ve done this dance, and last time the colpo results came back totally normal.

Gotta love “squeamish” squamous cells. I don’t know the movie quote, but am thinking of you, and hoping that all is well. Yes, Colposcopys suck very bigtime. Again, I wish you the best.

Yeeee-ouch. I HATE having anything done to my cervix. Hate, hate, hate. Hope it goes well and you get those normal results again.

Mine is also aimed a funny direction, making all these kinds of things extra challenging. Amazing that IUI actually even worked! (They basically had to make the catheter into a corkscrew. I told you this was a TMI post!
)

Yup. Very ugly, BUT lesbians aren’t nearly as subject to cervical cancer, perhaps not at all. (Nuns don’t seem to get it.) Not to worry. Even if the cells are ugly, they just cut them out and you’re fine. Really.

Yikes! I have a “grab your cervix and run” story as well. OUCH! Sending very good vibes…

I win, I win! I love “Fargo” and recognized it immediately.
I would like to take all of my bonus points, sell them on the internet, and use the proceeds to buy lots of good vibes to forward to you.

Leta wins!!! Thank you, Leta! And thanks for the generous donation of your bonus points.
We re-watched Fargo on cable a week or so ago, and that scene NEVER FAILS to reduce me to a puddle of helpless laughter. The accents. The hair. The synchronized nodding. Bellisimo!
Go bears!

I don’t remember that scene from Fargo… what was it?

The scene where she interviews the two prostitutes, and tries to get them to describe the bad guys.

He was kinda funny looking, right? Kinda like those totally harmless cells that are trying to pose as scary criminal cells but are, in fact, fine.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
Well, except for the part where he was actually a scary criminal. But kinda funny lookin. More’n most people, even.

All good vibes going your way.
I spent a good 10 years being poked, prodded, and surgerized for endometriosis…so you have my best wishes for a speedy and positive result. Stat!
I always wanted a t-shirt that said “Step away from my cervix.”
Shall we have some made?

That is an AWESOME idea, Lizzy!
