I was wondering when you go and get a
papsmear could that show if you are
pregnant. Or do you have to get a
pregnancy test.

Pregnancy test kits measure the amount of
HCG in your urine. There would be no way
for a pap smear to tell if you are
pregnant or not.
OB/GYNs usually test urine as a routine
before performing the pap smears though.
