I have always waited at least a week. I am curious to know if anyone's Dr. has recommended a "waiting time"? I figure after the scrapping and the curretage (sp.) of the opening of the cervix... it's somewhat similar to a scratch that needs to heal. Any thoughts?

or similar to a minor scrape/cut

Well the Dr. used two types of intruments and nothing like an oversized swab. There was a thin brush (looks like a thin pipe cleaner - for the endocervical scrapping) and a thin plastic stick, similar to a popsicle stick (used to scrape the cells on the exterior part of the cervix).

Good feedback... Thanks! For clarification, I am asking this question for serious health related reasons. Hopefully, I didn't phrase it in a way that seems like I need/want to have sex 24/7... LOL! My apologies to those that may have misinterpreted it that way.

Cells around your cervix are like those found on you buccal mucosa (inner lining of you cheeks). They can shed easily like CIS people collect them with a Q-tip. So there no tissue tearing at all and you can have sex, as soon as the Doc turns away to sent the specimen to the lab!! Best wishes!!

A pap is not a cut or scrape..its an oversized q-tip used to swab the cervix..no reason to wait either.

I have never felt the need to wait any particular amount of time - though it is probabbly best to wait at least untill you leave the doctors office. But then that has nothing to do with the pap.

Ok, a normal pap smear you have no wait time afterwards and i have been having them for years. Please explain what type of pap smear you had because my pap smear has never consisted of scrapping, etc????? A normal pap smear consist of a cotton swab swabbed around the cervix.

They're basically just removing a few cells. The skin isn't broken per se. I'd say you can do it right away unless it causes you pain.

I've never waited any amount of time. If I felt like it that very day, we'd resume sexual relations. Personal preference I'd say.

i have never been given a wait time...now i have been told don't have sex the night prior cuz it can alter the result..i assume the sperm could...i would say if you feel ok and its not uncomfortable there shouldn't be a problem.=)
