i yelped. it would have been a scream, but i held it in. i had taken 2 ibuprofen before. i won't lie, i was in a lot of pain. and it was just a little biopsy from inside my cervix, she said she didn't take much. i took several more OTC pain relievers afterwards, but i was cramping a LOT for the first few hours and had a lot of duller pain for at least 6-8 afterwards. it was over a week before i felt anything like normal.
i'm very sensitive, though. the regular pap smear hurts and i usually cramp afterwards. so your mileage may definitely vary. i've heard some people say it wasn't bad at all.
