I had a pap smear done on September 2. It was early in the morning at 9:00am, and for the rest of the day I was bleeding a bit. Today I'm still spotting blood and I don't know if this is normal. I've had pap smears before and usually I only bleed for like an hour after. My period is coming on Monday so maybe that's affecting it, but I'm a little concerned because this never happened before:confused:

The doctor may have niched the cervix, causing a small irritation which could cause you to spot. If you weren't spotting before you had it done, its more than likely caused by the doctor. If you have a longer than normal menstrual cycle, I would see an OB-GYN.
