Question Pap smear
If you wear spotting a brown discharge, would it be wise not to have a pap smear and wait till another month?

Re: Pap smear
I would reschedule if possible. They suggest scheduling the appointment for the middle of your cycle (basically between periods) for the best results. However, if you think you have an infection,imbalance, or other problem, definitely go ASAP.

Re: Pap smear
I atually just went to my gyno and I was still spotting so he told me to wait two weeks. But like the last poster said, go if you have any sign of infection, go. I guess it makes it more difficult to see the cervical cells.
