Thankyou for being so transparent with your hospital appointment Imo, it really does help other people when the experience is talked and shared about. Hope you continue to feel better, sorry Izzys application didn't work out but sometimes life has a funny way of getting to its final destination, only great things to come for Izzy 😊
Imo, thank you, I know talking about it is uncomfy at times but you've inspired me to book my smear (which I've been terrified about) I know this was a while ago but I binge watch your videos whilst I'm doing my makeup, you're brilliant. Thank you again for the push!
Aw you’re welcome. Good luck and hopefully you’ll be like me and come out feeling all pleased with yourself for having got it out of the way. Thanks so much for watching. X
I've had gynae issues since I was 13. I had an abnormal smear one time and when I got the letter I burst into tears fearing the worst. I went for my colposcopy, my mum came with me. We went in the car and it was snowing so we went very slowly. I remember lying on the couch watching the snow on the top bit of window. Same position as smear, they used a swab with some local anaesthetic and something that turned anything abnormal green. The affected area showed as pre cancerous so they used a heated loop to scrape off the top layer of cells until they got to healthy cells. Had period pains for a while and felt a little strange inside.. repeat smear every 3 months following that for a year then a 6 month one. All good. Finally had hysterectomy 6 years ago, best thing ever.
Stress and high anxiety can wipe you out for a few days. The pain your having probably adds to that. Your muscles will naturally tense and leave you weak. I hope you are back to perky self by tomorrow which for you is right now. The sun will help a lot.
Hi, it’s good to talk about such issues as it isn’t always spoken about and it should be and we all wouldn’t feel awkward about talking about it all, so thank you for sharing. How disappointing for Izzy.
Don't worry about this all being "unpalatable".. but rather this being a teaching moment. When I had mine done, I had several friends that had no idea what it was.. and these are women in their 50' and 60's. So after me explaining about it, one of my friends confided in me that she needed to go see her Dr about some abnormal issues. So, yes, as women, we need to be able to speak freely, and educate. It's really not much different than discussing an inner ear issue, or a throat issue, except that throughout the ages, certain body parts have been a taboo subject.
Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more. Oddly, I find it easier to tell the vlog this than people in my life! 😆 sorry you had to go through it too. Did you go into a weird daze afterwards too? It seemed to come after a few hours.
I have a female doctor and when she examined me, there needs to be a 2nd person in the room. I literally don't care, but its the law for this kind of thing. so I get to have an audience. when I had my man bits ultrasound, it was a women doing it and there was a person in training, so I had it done twice. and yes it did not feel well to have that scanned. they need to press you see. I guess I'm lucky to not be shy at all about these things.
Ohhhh I had that before I fell pregnant with Brendan. Legs in stirrups, miners helmet and light on their head! The took a biopsy and that sent my cervix in to spasms. Waves of pain and then I was sick. So they injected me with anti sickness, put me on a ward and called Lee. I had driven and gad to leave the car there over night. They said they had never had anyone react thd way I did. But I think my cervix is sensitive. As I go in to labour early too.
Hi imo, I followed your journey of homeschooling when I was doing it too. Its a massive credit to you 👏 and your home education. Shes a very talented girl. Hope your feeling better. Hope u have a fab holiday 😊 x
in the past two weeks or more i've had a camera down my throat into my gut, and a camera up the ... rear gate - found polyps up there so i have to go again for removal - NEVER have a cam down throat, it is not very pleasant..at..all.. - though i have to go back in weeks for the two procedures again.. 😶
Sorry imo about izzys scholarship bless her .I know the disappoint you feel .you want the best for your children it's only natural .at least you got one procedure done at the hospital .I know it leaves you feeling uncomfortable rest up imo hope you start to feel better soon .X☕🤗
I'm not surprised it hit you sideways Imo, I had a similar one 18 months ago and I was as much use a chocolate fireguard for a couple of days! I hope you feel even more improved now.
Oh ouch. Sorry you had to go through that too. What a shock! I was fine by the next morning and was really surprised how it effected me. Thanks so much. X
So sorry you’ve had a rubbish day .. maybe you were so anxious before the procedure it completely wiped to you out when you got home also on the bumpy bus didn’t help .. love to Izzy x x
Izzy has my best wishes for next time. It's understandable that you're maybe more disappointed than she is. We understand more about what's at stake and what it can mean. The younger crowd doesn't get that until later. Procedures like this are awful. It's good they got the polyp. Hopefully the pain will lessen quickly. Might a heating pad help?
Tell Izzy that there are many ways to a destination. She has the fire inside & that's the most important thing. I am sorry you had to deal with the aftereffects of that procedure, Imo. Glad that at the vlog's end you felt better. I suppose you're just a very sensitive person physically & that cutting made your body react. I will pray for your full return to sparky & fresh. 💪☺
So sorry about Izzy's scholarship 😔 it's just not meant to be and her time will come, she's very talented! Hope you are feeling ok, I imagine the anticipation for the appointment left you feeling wiped - I had a colposcopy last month, I was really worried they were going to find something but everything was fine and I felt like I could have slept for a year afterwards!
Awwww... I'm so sorry about Izzy's scholarship being a no go.. let's keep positive and hope that she can apply for this again next year. Sorry to hear that your experience with the colposcopy wasn't such a good one. I had one done last October, along with a cone biopsy, and to be honest I had no discomfort during or afterwards. Not sure if I'm built like an iron horse, but I also had two vaginal births with no labour pains at all. Ha. We all have different thresholds of pain, and it doesn't make one weaker or stronger.. it is just how we are made. We're better off having these procedures done, instead of ignoring our bodies, and that leading to bigger issues.
Wow, congratulations on your body which is so friendly to you. I wonder if there is something that could be done or is it in genes or something... Maybe you were practising yoga or jogging during pregnancy? Were you doing anything special or is it the usual thing in your family?
Oh yes! I suppose you would be. I was a bit worried about boring the menfolk a bit with this one. Oh well, at least you had a nice mini bus to look at! 😆
Forgot to mention that I drove home from my appt. haha.. Had no idea that I shouldn't have. But the iron horse forged on.. haha. Glad to see you feeling and looking better. Sorry that I gave such longggg comments, but I am so pro on self awareness and women's health. Btw.. are you going to plant any veggies this year? I did start some seeds, usually I buy the plants, but thought I'd give the seeds as try this year. Have a lovely rest of the week. 🥰
The very first time I had a pap smear the pain was unlike any other and the lady gynecologist who at first seemed nice was upset with me that I'm tighting muscels so much she cannot continue so she stopped. I wasn't tighting any muscels consciously, if they were tighting out of pain I couldn't do anyhting about it that I know of. A year later I had a pap smear with different gynecologist, this time I was afraid of it unlike before the first time when I didn't know there is anything to be afraid of. And this second time I didn't feel a thing to a point I started doubting whether the doctor did it or just said to me she did it. After a while I saw the results which were saying everything is okay. Still I wonder is it at all possible to not feel a pap smear and what went wrong the first time then. Those were my only two pap smears because in both cases I feel didn't learn anything about my health.
A 17th century French saying "Things were never as good or bad as they seemed." Sorry to hear about Izzy's scholarship. I hope you are feeling better soon.
It's a shame to lose out on funding but in terms of opportunity, can't dwell on the past. I got rejected after an interview at Cambridge back in the day. Sometimes I wonder how my life might have turned out but there are infinite number of points in life when A or B can happen - just not worth thinking about.
Nothing to be embarrassed about nor should you worry about talking about it. it's a completely normal thing that every woman has to go through. I hope you weren't in pain for too long.
Hi imo I know it's not pleasant having your private parts on show to strangers but better safe than sorry ha.. your so like me you overthink situations . You were a brave soldier imo .... catch ya next time 👍❤

You're right, it's just another body part! Sorry Isabel missed out this time. Love xxxxx
Thanks, Isabel! X
Thank you for talking about this topic imo very important and as you say often unspoken of X
There's always some level of anxiety for me everytime I go to the doctor but I've learned to face my fears :)
I've had gynae issues since I was 13. I had an abnormal smear one time and when I got the letter I burst into tears fearing the worst.
I went for my colposcopy, my mum came with me. We went in the car and it was snowing so we went very slowly. I remember lying on the couch watching the snow on the top bit of window.

Take care x
Oh no... I'm gutted for Izzy. I was sooooo hoping she would get it
Me too! 😞

@@PlanetImo .. No, I had no after affects at all. The only thing was a little bleeding but that is to be expected after a biopsy.
Hi I'mmo your very brave going for your appointment 👍

Hiya! Me again! Back from a hard term of Uni. Glad to see you're on the verge of 5K subs! Keep up the good work and hope all of this goes well.

So sorry about the scholarship, but she seems so talented that I bet she will get many other chances!
Thanks, Linn. X
Thinking about any procedure is completely understandable, we all think "everything's going to be ok" and we try to block it out...tends not to work!😬
Hope your'e feeling better soon, Imo!

the bladder one sucked.
Probably an eroded cervix. If so its incredibly common. X
it's a shame she did not get in

You are blushing while you are talking about the test.
Hope you are feeling better now :D
All better now. Thanks, Jason!
There is me staring.g at the bus in the carpark thinking that would make a good camper van
Ha ha ha ha!

Was thinking tomato soup for dinner! Having a sandwich instead! 😆😆😆
😆 😂 good idea!
Good video, IMO
Thanks 😊
Nothing to be embarrassed about nor should you worry about talking about it. it's a completely normal thing that every woman has to go through. I hope you weren't in pain for too long.
Attempt 2 of watching lol
I know that feeling!
oh no.....its not been your day at all has it,hope you are feeling brighter soon,at least your holiday will soon be here. x
I know! What a day! 😆 the officially weirdest one I’ve had so far this year. All better now, thanks so much. X
Oh your lovely lady area appointment..... I do not envy you.
I know. Argh!
Shame about scholarship x
I know. I’m gutted!! She was also, but she’s bounced back and is just getting on with things. Well, I am too, I suppose. Thanks, Donny! X
How old are you? I am guessing 42 based on what you said about menopause, but easily in your 30 by the way you look!
Aw thanks. 47. X
I like you chatty vlogs
Hi imo I know it's not pleasant having your private parts on show to strangers but better safe than sorry ha.. your so like me you overthink situations . You were a brave soldier imo .... catch ya next time 👍❤
