can the OB/GYN do a PAP test during your cycle?

Question

So my period is due tomorrow and so is my appointment for my annual exam 😂😂 it doesn't start off heavy, but I was wondering if she would be able to do the test if I'm bleeding 😅

Answer

No, you need to reschedule.  Just call them and apologize.  Tell them that you got your period and need to reschedule.  It happens.  Don't be embarrassed.  Just be considerate and call now so that they can schedule another patient who needs an appointment in your place.

Answer

Mine wouldn't do it even in the days leading up to it in case microscopic bleeding had already started. I highly doubt it, but you could call and ask

Answer

I have had a pap done during my period, when I called to reschedule they told me to just come in as long as it wasn't super heavy. It didn't change my results any.
