    Sad Brown discharge a few hours after smear test - is this normal?

    I am kinda freaking out. Prepare for a little TMI if you will...

    I had a pap / smear test about 5 hours ago and I've just leaked some brown discharge... I also feel a little sore 'inside' lol..

    Has anyone else here ever had this whose results came back healthy? This isn't a sign I have something weird going on down there is it?

    Nah, just means they cut your cervix a little when they did the test. I've got a sensitive cervix, happens to me all the time. Nothing you can do, it'll heal itself in a few hours. The brown is blood cells that came out of your cervix when they cut you. Kinda like your period. You'll be a little sore for a day or so and I'd take it easy on sex if you were planning on having it, don't want to bust the scraped bit back open.

    OTM. I think once I bled and yes they said that was normal. Want to talk scary bleeding and that is when I had a LEEP. My period after that was almost 2 weeks and heavy bleeding. I thought I was dying or would never be able to have kids but was assured that is common too.

    OTM: On the mark. I was too lazy to type it out. Yes the two week period scared me and I called my gyno about it. She told me it was normal for the procedure and not to worry unless it screwed up my other periods. Nothing else happened.

    Normal. I've had that happen too. If you start to bleed heavily (and aren't due) or the discharge has an offensive smell, go back to the doctor though.

    Okay, so the bleeding has just randomly started again!
    But this time it is RED instead of brown! I noticed when I went to the bathroom and the tissue had a little pink on it. O_O

    I'm NOT expecting my period, and I had the smear test five days ago.

    I also feel weird down there too.. Agh please don't let me have cervical cancer.

    A little pink is ok. How much blood are we talking here? Calm down- stop winding yourself up.

    Not much at all. A little blood when I wipe myself and in my knickers. Small amounts but my general.. cervixy area feels weird. Kinda like the pain I got after my smear but I don't get why it's like that again five days later with fresh blood. O_o

    Cheers for any reality checks guys - I can be a huge hypochondriac.

    Okay it's now been a week since my smear test and I had moderate bleeding today (more so than yesterday) - almost enough to necessitate wearing a pad even though I am NOT expecting my period. I hope this ends soon My cervix still feels sore / uncomfortable.

    Call the dr and make a follow up appointment. Some women are most sensitive than others. Never hurts to get checked out if you're upset about it.
