I don't know if having a smear test will include a HPV test too. However, HPV is a sexually transmitted disease so if both husband and wife were virgins when they married and have stayed faithful, there shouldn't be a cause for concern. Even if this wasn't the case, repeated tests shouldn't be necessary unless there is ongoing infedelity.

Make an appointment to see your doctor. I had thought that you'd already seen a doctor but from a later post you said it was a PA.

and Memaw...I completely understand. Ny best friend experienced what you are and had a hysterectomy.
Not sure if that's really the answer, but it was her choice to do so.

Melissa,
I get headaches every month, related to hormones. I get them a few days before my TOM and a couple days after. Mine aren't as bad as yours, but they start out the same way, and do sometimes last for more than a day. Getting more sleep and drinking more water help for mine.

flowerz, have these headaches plaqued you longterm or no? This is something that began almost eight weeks ago for me. I feel like it is hormone related but I suppose I will not be diagnosed as such atleast another month AND after another headache  . That just stinks to me, I dont want another headache like I've been having......

Yes, the headaches have been happening for years. Had one yesterday, but was able to keep it from getting too bad by taking pain killers early on, at the first hint of the pain.

Yep, in fact #3 on your list was my main signal that she was coming for a visit.

I found out the other day that urgent care centers do provide the shots for the fullblown migraine. This will save a bunch of money in the long run. I'm seriously considering at some point, not treating the headache at the first sign, seeing as only Excedrin works & I'm only treating rebounds at this point. I will go ahead & allow the full blown migraine to occur & have it treated. After that, when the first sign of a headache occurs, I will document time, etc. in order to fully understand what is taking place at onset of the true headache. From there, I should be able to determine course of treatment. Constantly taking Excedrin has to end.
Hormones seemed to be a factor more than 20 years ago, but when I started Excedrin, I totally forgot about it. I have focused on it being sinus related for a long time & that may not be the source at all. k

Me too. Every time I go for my yearly gyno exam he expresses surprise I am not in full blown meno.

Kath, I believe it was u that I read in a post back in 2007 that u didnt want to have to take hormones. Has any of that changed? Doinkdom, it might have been both of ya'll actually posting during 2007 not wanting to be put on hormones but I can't remember why you didn't want to. Was it the potential health risks or no? Just wondering.

No, I won't take hormones. I'll just ride it out. I read two books back in the 70s that really stuck with me, Women and the Crisis in Sex Hormones, and Our Bodies, Ourselves. After reading those two books, I went off the pill and decided then and there to never use hormone therapy.

I'm going to try cutting out sweet-in-low & just drink sweet tea for awhile, see how I do. I'm exercising in the mornings now & believe this helps some too. k

I don't believe I'll ever have to take hormones. I've been using natural progesterone for a few years now & it seems to be all I need. I hear this stuff works from pre all the way through post & beyond. Once you start this you won't need anything else. k

! The pain from the headaches spikes my blood pressure of course, which then causes a worse headache.Also i have nausea, but Ive not yet vomited. It is a very ugly cycle to say the least. This has happened three times in the couse of almost 8 weeks. Today the headache is gone like it never even happened. If I was a betting woman, I would say within the next two days I will begin my period 
.
), I go to clinic and am told Dr. not in, but PA is..... I was given pain med. to use and an appt. in month to "see" if I have had another headache.... That's where I am at today. And, ya know, if I keep on thinkin about it, I am liable to get another headache 
. I have always had PMS but have never had the headaches. Guess its yet another part of being a woman and the blessedness of aging...I seriously don't know.
