Are you current on your yearly exams?
Permalink  
 

Yes I am, I think I have always been. I have to be really though, to get a new BC pill RX every year. I have PCOS and if I go off the pill even for a short time I start to get horrible pain from cysts on my ovaries. Plus lately I know too many people with breast or ovarian cancer and it seems like most of them were detected early by their OB catching it at the yearly appointment.

I also don't have insurance but I think it is important so I make it work. I usually save $ from our tax returns for the appointment and for the cost of my BCP for the year

I'm current.
As some of you have said I'm just neurotic about it so I do go every year. It schedule around my birthday so that I don't forget.

As for the dentist... that is something I just hate to do.  It has been a while since I have done a check up so I should make an appointment. 

Because of my back surgery they did a complete checkup on me so I guess I'm current with that too.

For the ones without health insurance that is what the health dept or planned parenthood is for. I have cervical dysplasia discovered because I was having abnormal paps after Stephen was born. I had laser surgery and normal paps every since.

I am current. I had mine done when I had my IUD checked in April. LOL I hate going too, but I would hate even more for something to happen because I hadn't had my yearly done. Just sayin...smile

Yes, but ditto Tracy's reason. Without insurance it's just not going to happen.



 Your local planned parenthood will do it for super cheap. I used to go there to get mine done before I had insurance and needed birth control. I think I paid 65 dollars for a years worth of birth control pills and my yearly.
