I admit, I had my first pap smear last year, which was way later (by about 20yrs) than it should have been, but luckily for me it came up clear.

Now that I've had the first one, I'm not so scared of going again. They say every two years unless you have a history in your family, so I'll probably go early next year for my second one ever.

It didn't hurt when I had it done, but the doc that did the last one isn't at our local clinic anymore, so it might be different next time. Time will tell I guess.
