ont he pill for 6 yrs and now discharges
Posted: 09-11-04 13:20pm

I have been on the pill for almost 6 years. The last couple of weeks I have had some nasty discharge that looked like it had blood in it about 2 weeks after my period ended. I went to the doc. And she did some tests for a couple diff. Std's and they all came back negative. Then she did a pap smear but I haven't got the results yet. I was wondering if you can tell if i'm pregnant from a pap smear or if any one thinks it could be possible for me to be pregnant? Please help if you can!!

A pap smear does not test for pregnancy. If your doc thought you might be pregnant they would take a urine analysis.. Which gives you the results in the same visit. Sounds like they are testing to make sure there aren't any abnormalities causing you to bleed. I had problems when I was on low estrogen pills that caused me to have bleeding throughout the month just like you are describing.. Going to a higher estrogen dose got me back to being regular. So I wouldn't worry about anything right now, especially pregnancy.
