Cervical/smear test

I have my routine check tomorrow morning and have typically started my period this evening (pretty irregular so I thought I would be OK when booking but of course it's the one time that it's early!). Can I still attend? It feels a bit unhygienic to go and I'm not sure if it impacts results but equally I don't want to have to reschedule if this is normal! Google suggests different things and I've never been in this situation for previous ones

I would call the doctors before turning up but it's pretty much the first appointment of the day!

Thanks in advance!

They’ll probably reschedule when you tell the them you’re currently menstruating.

It’s one of the questions they ask before the smear is conducted - when was the first day of your LMP.
