Smear

Hi ladies

Just a quick question when do you get called for a smear? I had my first one three years ago in March and my bday is August but they always call first timers 6 months before but does this revert back to your bday for following years?

Thanks xx

Hi Hydromermaid-1. Women over 25 years of age are invited to have a cervical smear every 3 years. This is timed from smear date to smear date, so the fact that you had one in the March, I would remind them that you are due one in march this year. should any suspicious cells be found at any time, then they will ask you to attend more often. Hope that helps. Diane

Brilliant! Well done, and pleased you're having it before FET - good luck with that when it happens. Diane
