Pap smear during ovulation
| Thu, 01-15-2004 - 9:42am |
I just had to have a pap smear while I was ovulating (meanwhile my husband and I are trying to conceive). Could the pap smear hurt my chances of conceiving this month?

"Pap smears are routinely performed at any time during pregnancy, and before pregnancy. In fact, unless there has been a recent pap, every patient gets one as part of her intake OB physical. The timing is not a concern."
