48 hours before stop taking , I believe it's on the instructions.
I can't find that information in the leaflet..I wish I could because I've just had a dreadful time trying, (and failing
) to have my smear.
I have been on vagifem for some months now for difficulty having intercourse and saw my GP 6 weeks ago. She knew I wanted to have a smear so she suggested taking vagifem daily for 3 weeks then book smear for the 4th. The smear leaflet said stop taking tablets or creams 2 days before so I did.
Nurse said no it has to be 2 weeks!
So rebooked and went today 2 weeks
without Got speculum in Ok, but no chance of opening it. BIG ouch
Still hurting now 4 hours later.
She intends to refer me to colposcopy clinic? Apparently they all the difficult cases. I am sooo upset. Still bawling too.
I feel like a shrivelled up old hag
Do any of you think the 2 weeks without was relevant to the failure?
