Hi guys, I am 22 and have an 18month old son. I had a smear test when I was 16 as I was worried about STI's blah blah, and it was all fine. However, that was 6 years ago..! Should I be thinking of having another one? I have only been with two partners since i was 16 (my ex and my current partner) and I know i dont have any diseases or anything coz they test for everything when you are pregnant.... but im talkin about cancer.
Especially as it is on the rise in younger women and especially since the Jade Goody tragedy.. But the thing is, the NHS guidelines state that u should really be a minimum age of 25! But Jade died at 27! Im just thinking that it would make sense, seeing as i have had a baby and cancer is in my family..(not ovarian cancer but breast cancer and lung cancer is)
What does everyone else think? I just dont want to leave it then regret it if i have got something....Im not worried about it but its in the back of my mind regularly.. I get heavy periods and bleeding inbeween periods but I have the implant so it could be down to that..
Thanks :)
