Just to finish off. I've had a bad night. Kept jumping from sleep, dull cramps too. I've just been reading research and experiences about this procedure. Some women describing the exact same thing. Also varies between hospitals. It's been raised as a parliamentary issue before. The procedure being carried out without pain relief and the financial issue around GA. Seems the nhs might not consider it a priority within their funding hence waits for GA. Fair to say, the written advice provided with appointments is way off the reality for some of us, there was never a question about stopping yesterday when I was screaming out and fainting. And I was being roused from my faint to be asked if the doctor could remove the polyp. I could barely speak. I can't fault the staff and their care but in the 21st century we shouldn't be having to tolerate that level of pain. I was given tea and biscuits for the shock but wasn't provided a sanitary pad. Walked out of the hospital dazed and bleeding. Having read about it, it seems that because some women tolerate it, some barely feel it, its a "give it a go" procedure, saves money and time, and most women have endured childbirth so we'll cope with this. I don't want to worry anybody who is due this procedure, and i know some women on here were fine, as the leaflet says, its well tolerated by most women, but I wasn't in that category. I'd advise you ask your questions. I didn't, I was extremely anxious and needed to know I hadn't got cancer and so blanked it out and just turned up on the day thinking the less I knew, the less I had to dwell on and fear. I wonder if men would cope with it.
