Pap Test & Period OK?
| Fri, 08-22-2008 - 9:34am |
My period is due to come next week. I also have my annual gyn exam next week. I will be on day 3 or 4 the day of my exam. Has anyone ever had their pap done during their cycle? Was it ok to do? Did it alter your results at all? Was it messy? I am nervous to be waiting on the exam table for the doctor to come in with no tampon or pad on. Usually by day 3 or 4 my cycle is medium to light...but still. Any advice would be great. I told the receptionist that my cycle is coming and she said as long as it's not very heavy it's totally fine and they use a thin prep pap test. What is that compared to what they usually use?
TIA!
