I was wondering if anyone could tell me
something. I just had my pap done and
when the Dr. Went to put the opener in me
she said that my "cervix would not open"
and she had to readjust. I was wondering
could it be the way I was laying or
something else.

I don't understand because the cervix is
not suppose to open when you have a pap
smear. Are you a virgin?

I had a pap done last week and had the
same thing and it was because I was
tensing as soon as I relaxed I was fine

Maybe you misunderstood or she misspoke.
I bet she was saying she couldn't reach
the cervix. I had a pap a couple of
weeks ago and the speculum (spreader
thingy) was the "wrong size" and she had
to get a longer one in order to reach my
cervix.
They have to see the cervix in order to
know they are in the right place to get
the pap smear.
The cervix is only supposed to be open
when you are in labor and dialating.
