Forgot about my smear tomorrow

Shit. Just logged into my Outlook and been reminded that it’s my smear tomorrow morning first thing.

I masturbated this morning. I know that you’re not meant to have sex in the days preceding a smear (I haven’t) but is that because of sperm/spermicide from condoms etc potentially mucking up the sample? Or is it sexual activity generally that can do that, like mine earlier? Hoping to avoid awkward conversation with the nurse.

It’s because semen can obscure the results. You are fine. 😂

Yes, thought so. Phew! Just wanted to check that it wasn’t anything to do with my cervix by itself! Thanks 😊
