How does one tell?
Same way with pants. You try on the pair you know are going to be too big so that when you fit in the smaller size, you feel better.
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.
Why do they have to call it a pediatric speculum? Why can't they come in sizes like "Wee-wee", "Hoo-hah", "Goolie", and "Has had 6 15 pound babies"?
Bwah! I had a pediatric speculum during my first exam. I didn't even know there was such a beast, but the doctor seemed to think it would be a good idea. I was...sixteen, I think. And they all still feel too big to me, three kids later.

It's been to long since I went to a gyno, I need to get on that soon.
I just went last week after a very long time. She was a new doctor to me and just wonderful. I complained about never getting used to this unpleasant business and she agreed that you never do. Some smart woman needs to figure out a better way.

No kids, but me too. I always ask for the smallest one they have.
It occurs to me that I may be able to wrangle a BC scrip out of my regular doctor, if my ex-gyn won't return my calls.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
"Has had 6 15 pound babies"?
They call this size "Lincoln Tunnel."
Now I wonder if I am Hoo-hah or Goolie sized.
How does one tell?
You measure by the largest size of tampon that just....falls out. Like, if "Slender Regular" does NOT fall out, you are the smallest size. If "Super" falls out, you're Hoo-hah sized. And if "Super Plus" falls out, you're Sonny Corleone-sized. (Please, someone get that joke.)

I wish I'd find out about my pap smear. It took two weeks to get my mammogram results (all clear, no change since the last one at least three years ago).

Oh! and the pap didn't hurt. Half the time I get a wave of nausea, a crampy ouch, and then spotting. Yuck. And yet none of this with the new doctor. I think she's a keeper. She didn't even give me a hard time for the length of time it had been or the lack of previous mammogram. She was just sweet.

(And you know, I normally don't mind the open plan office thing. But these are the kind of phone calls one generally wants walls for. I'ma see if HR's "confidential room" is free.)

If it isn't available can you fax your request to your doctor's office Jessica? Just mention you don't want to call from work.

Mostly lurking...
I've gotten an extension on the final paper for the two students I'm tutoring. It's not much of an extension, but it's an extension none-the-less. I just called and told one of the students. She's like, "Isn't that going to hurt my grade?"
Me thinks she doesn't know what extension means. I don't have time for this.
