Probably from the pap smear. It's totally normal.

I always spot after a pap smear. And the spotting from pap smears lasted longer while I was pregnant. If you're not cramping then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

You shouldn't worry about spotting after a pap smear unless it's heavy bleeding. It's perfectly normal the first day after the pap. I always spot after a pap smear. But your doctor should have told you this, maybe you should start looking for a new one.

Most likely it is from the pap smear. It is pretty common but if you are really concerned about it you should call your doctor. They would be happy to help and if they are concerned they will have you come back in. If not, you have nothing to worry about...just keep an eye on it either way and good luck.

It's most likely from the pap smear. The brush they use to do cultivate the sample scraps your cervix, sometimes worse then others depending on how gentle the doctor was. I usually bleed a little afterwards. If it happens more though, go see the doctor just in case its something else.

Sometimes when you get a pap smear your cervix bleeds a little. Its nothing to be alarmed by. This is especially true during pregnancy when the cervix is more sensitive. Hope you get the results you're looking for with the pregnancy test.

Seems like that would be perfectly normal after the pap exam. Usually stops in 24 hours or so. Take it easy the rest of the day and don't worry about it too much.

It's from the pap smear. If it does not stop by tomorrow, go back to your doctor.

it's very normal to have a bit of spotty bleeding after a pap b/c the speculum tends to scrape you a bit going in and out. unless you continue to bleed throughout the day, I don't think you have anything to worry about. but if you are worried, you shouldn't hesitate to call and speak with a nurse at your doctor's office. they are there to answer your questions!
