went to the clinic today to have a check up, and knew it was going to be uncomfortable, but it actually hurt like hell!! was just curious to see if anyone else found it painful?! the nurse inserted this massive plastic tube into my vagina and scraped the inside numerous times with swabs- wasn't pleasant! she also inserted a long thin tube into my urethra (where u pee) which was awful... and since then, i've bled a little when i've gone to the loo?!! oh woe is me
