Pap smear first visit

Did anyone else have a pap at your first PG visit?  Did it cause spotting at all and if so how long after did it start and stop?  Was it only upon pushing for a BM or having an O?  I am having pink to light red spotting and it's only in those cir****tances.  Dr said I may spot but made it sound like it would be that day.  I am a bit worried.

I went to my 11 week appointment on Tuesday and she did my pap becuase I was due for one in August and she felt it would be better to get it done now.  I did not have any spotting but I did feel uncomfortable down in my lower abdomen/vagina area for the rest of the day.

Pap is part of this hospitals normal procedures. I did not have spotting but I know lots of people do. They do all the STD tests and check for abnormal cells and all. I have had dysplasia for like 3 years so I am so used to paps every 6 months now. I would say dont worry too much unless you have lots of cramping and all. :)

 my dh and I had sex on a sat night , i had a large bm (constipated) on Sunday and had spotting monday. My doc said that i can be up to 72 hours after that spotting or bloddy discharge can show.

*phew* that makes me feel a lot better.  I called the Dr.s and they said not to panic but they will slip the doc a note and call me back.  I am sure that is all it is then.

I had to have a pap at my first appt. No spotting but i was irritated down there for the day.  If you have some crazy sex (hehe) then that may make your spot. So tone it down missy!! haha!! My Dr told me that sex early can cause some irritation and that can cause spotting. I am sure you are fine.

I had spotting after mine.  I think it was the next day after my a.m. B.M. lol.  I was constipated and recall thinking "watch, I'm gonna spot after this one!" and I did.  It just was that time and then it was a tiny bit the next day after that BM too.  That seems to be the only time I spotted during this pregnancy.

I think I always spot after a pap.  My cervix and uterus are cranky *****es!
