Is This Normal (again)?!

Ok, I know I already asked this, but i'm
starting to get antsy about it. I had a
pap smear on friday (oh so much fun...
Not) and everything was pretty routine.
Well, when I got home, I noticed that I
was spotting. I know that minimal
spotting is normal, but this just doesn't
seem "normal" to me. I don't have cramps
or anything, and I know it's not my period
(that isn't supposed to come until
saturday/sunday). Is this still from the
pap smear? Or could it be something else?
Sometimes I hate being female...

Prolly from the pap. I am sure you are ok
but huni, if you get too worried, go to
the hospital. I'm sure you are ok though.
Calm down.

I'm not exactly "freaking out" per say...
I'm just kinda worried. I've had pap
smears before, but i've never spotted
afterward. It's really really weird.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure i'm just fine too...
I just get antsy when things don't feel
right. I mean, i'm not a person that's
completely in-tune with her body, but I
know when things just don't seem normal.
Ya know? Thanks for the answers girls.
You guys rock!

Whenever I have a problem, I call my docs
office and ask for his nurse. She
answers all my questions and I absolutely
love her. Sometimes she's not at her
desk but I just leave a message and she
calls me back.

Get a new doctor. What kind of questions
were you asking him that he wouldn't
answer? Tell him you're going to report
him to the ama next time he says something
like that.

I'd love to but I can't. I was
reccomended to that doctor because my old
ob/gyn couldn't handle my case since I was
"high-risk".

I'm sure there's someone else. There's
more than two ob/gyns in cali right?
 I know it sucks
to switch doc's this late in pregnancy.
Next time he's rude, you should seriously
cry, a lot. You have a nervous breakdown
would waste way more time then him
answering a couple of your questions.
