Gynecologist appointment

I went and did something stupid. In trying to schedule my yearly pap smear around my work schedule, I went and scheduled it for the week of my period. I have a question in regards to this: If I take my pill and skip my period for that week, will it affect my pap smear results? I just don't want to have to reschedule, cuz I had to book in December to get an appointment with this specific gynecologist (the one I really like) in March.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Jill and Judie! I'm glad I won't have to reschedule! This guy diagnosed my VVS and has an excellent bedside manner, which is why I wanted to stick with him.
