You need to call and reschedule. they can't do the
pap if you're on your period. Most
doctors are very understanding though, so
relax.

Ok... Well I should have added this in
before. When I get my period tha last few
months it has been really light and thats
just cause of my pills (im on yasmin28) so
should I still re schedule? Because ive
been putting it off the last 2 times and
this is going to be the third time and I
just wanna get it over with.
So... Is there anyway I could still get
my pap test?
Thanks!

No, sorry. even if it's
light, I think you still have to
reschedule. Can you make it for like,
the week after? If you can't get it
done, you can't get it done.

Pap smears are very important and they
should be accurate so definetly
reschedule for just a week later. I don't
see how that could be a problem since that
only takes about 3 minutes.
