I know EXACTLY what you mean about pounding heart sweetheart.

I have to have them yearly. The waiting gets worse each time. I can remember the last time ... Heart pounding, knees turning to jelly and then a feeling of overwhelming relief!  ::)

I've never waited longer than 3 weeks and I've been having smears since the 1970s.
So pleased that your results are 'normal' …….. now write to tell them how stressful these past weeks have been ?

Hi Ladies,
I use to work screening smears although it was 14 years ago and things have changed abit since then, but I would just like to reassure you that whilst it may take weeks to get your results the samples are actually processed as soon as they reach the lab so there is chance of contamination.
When ever there is publicity the number of people having smears increases and it takes longer for the results.
