Hi, I am booked for my first smear test in 2 weeks time. I am a mum of 2 and I am on copper coil right now, I was wondering if the copper coil gonna have any impact on my smear results? I did mention it to my GP when booking in, the receptionist said she'd give me a call back after but nothing happened. I remember reading something like coils alter the results..?? It's my first, any piece of advice for me?? Thank you

I've only ever had smears with a copper coil in and there were no issues and I can't find anything online that suggests it is an issue. The nurse will confirm she can see the strings and then do the smear. Possibly she will tell you that you have a very nice cervix as every woman I know who has had a smear seems to have been told that!
