My First (and last?) Mammogram

Posted Sep 11 2008 3:47pm

Have you ever had a mammogram?

A mammogram is like a right of passage into middle age, right? Well today was my first one. What else do I have to look forward to.

I gotta say: THAT SUCKED!

Basically, the technician twisted me into the shape of a pretzel and then tried to flatten my boobs into a pancakes one at a time, so she could take a pictures. Ouch! I told the technician that it was painful through gritted teeth and white knuckles. She responded with, “really?”

When it was over, I told her I was traumatized.

And I thought I had been through enough with all of the fertility testing I’ve endured.

When I told Nadia about it she said that she never found them to be painful, but she has a high threshold for pain.

I don’t want to do that again.
