Spotting after smear

[Ramina]

Hi everyone
I have had a smear test this morning, I have had spotting just now, is that normal? It’s never happened to me before?

[Happydaysforever123]

Yes I usually get it, don't worry.

[PlanDeRaccordement]

Yes. They usually try and book you in around 2wks before your period to prevent this. But if you go in anytime after that, chances are you will spot a bit.

Thank you so much for your reassurance. It’s really appreciated. I was worried something was wrong.

Hi. Lovely. I'm a nurse that does smears. Absolutely normal to spot for a few days after. Nothing to worry about at all. Pain or bleeding after sex, unexplained bleeding in the middle of your cycle all need investigation xx
