My first pap was this march and I'm 20 years old. It was so awful, more awful then when I played it out in my mind. I had been dreading it my whole life, and I don't ever want to do it again. But the most important thing is that it MUST be done, and I would rather have it done and know my health status than to never know. It is a big relief to hear everything come back good (even if you aren't expecting anything bad) and if something does come back, it's important to know and treat right away. However, I must say, it is unfortunate that my first and only time I got fingered was by a middle-aged lady.
