I always forget to do self checks. My gyno gave me a shower reminder card, that hangs over the back of shower head. It has a diagram of a hand on a boob. Very subtle.

At what age do you have to start having mammograms? I'm 21 and I've never had one, I was just curious. Although I must admit, it doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun. :-D

Some depends on your family history. If you have a genetic predisposition to breast cancer you should start earlier. A good baseline should be taken between 35-40 and then yearly after 40 is what I was told once. Even at 21 a BSE should be performed within 7 days after your monthly cycle. If I am off base or not remembering right feel free to correct me ladies.

Dead on, Miss Chris. And we did discuss boob squishes at our tea party.
One little hint to ease some of the discomfort - cut out caffeine for 2-3 days before the procedure and take tylenol 3 or something similar a half hour before the procedure.
