Q: Abnormal Pap?

Okay so in early november 2005 I went to the Dr. To get the morning after pill and get some b/c pills. I took the ecp and then had a regular period then started my b/c pills late november. I took them for about 2 weeks, not too sure and I was having unprotectedf and protected sex with my boyfriend. I had a weird period in december 2005 assuming it was from b/c pills I didnt think of anything. It was long but lighter then any normal period. Well after that I was having alot of unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I missed my period in january 2006 so I took a home pregnancy test it was a slight positive (clear blue) and then I went to the Dr. To get a blood test....That was negative. I was happy to hear that. I went for a routine pap smear about a week and a half ago.....And a few days ago the Dr. Called me saying she needed me to come in to talk about my results.....Now....She didnt say she needed to retest....And she said it wasnt an emergancy. What am I supposed to think? Is she going to tell me im pregnant??? I need help asap!!!

Maybe your pap smear came back abnormal.

I don't think they can detect a pregnancy through the results of a pap smear (but I could be wrong).

It is interesting that you had a positive preg test, and then a negative blood test though.

Well if the pap smear came out abnormal what are they going to tell me?? If it was that wouldnt they have asked me to come in sooner then a week after they called me?? What do they test for anyway with a pap ?? Im soo scared right now. Not to mention ive missed two periods now.....Im a week late again. I havent had a period since the middle of december. Do they test for std's with a pap???

Alot of women have abnormal paps, so don't worry too much about it. They test for cells that may or may not develop into cervical cancer. It takes years for abnormal cells to develop that far so if you are having regular paps I wouldn't worry about it.

I had an abonormal pap test and I told the doctor I wanted to have a baby. He said that was fine... No treatment necessary and I should go back and have the test repeated after having my baby.

Pap smears do not test for std's. If she suspected you were pregnant, surely she would have told you when she was doing the pap smear - and probably the same if she saw signs of an std.

Because you have just started taking bc that might be throwing your periods out of whack.

Don't stress if its an abnormal pap smear. They are really common.

I would think that if she knew/thought you were pregnant she would tell you asap instead of waiting a week so you were aware and not take meds, or whatever that could harm the baby. I could be wrong tho....But whatever comes up, good luck.
