Good evening,

Today I went for my annual pap smear. It was fast and pain free!!! I have something that is tilted so it has always hurt. My husband thinks the no pain was the weight loss. I hope so. Also, it was a new doctor and she was gentle and quick.

Have any of you thinner women noticed any less pain when getting the pap smear?

Remember to get checked at least every 2 years.

Yes actually! I thought it was just me!

I was told I have a "severely tilted uterus" back when I was a teenager. I was also told I would have a hard time getting pregnant because of it (they lied, I get pregnant if a guy looks at me cross-eyed without a condom, I swear LOL!)

But I noticed the same thing. It doesn't hurt at all now. I think it's because there's not a bunch of fat in the way so they don't have to cram the thing into you. Plus, there isn't all the leg fat blocking the speculum entrance.

I think it was 2 years ago during a pap that my doctor had accidentally screwed some of my inner thigh fat while securing the speculum to get the sample. I didn't say anything because I was so embarrassed by my fatness.
