Can you get a Pap if you might be pregnant?
So Im due for my annual gyno exam but have been putting it off because we are TTC...ideally I would like to have an exam before I get pg, but was afraid that I could be in the TWW and then maybe shouldnt have a Pap....should I just try to schedule the one week after my pd but before I O?

Re: Can you get a Pap if you might be pregnant?
Yes. I don't think that it would have any affect. When I went to my first prenatal appt, back when I was PG with DS, my Dr gave me a pap. (I was about 7 wks along.) However, if you are uncertain, you should call and ask you Dr's office.

Ask your doctor, but I think it's fine to have it done.

Every Dr is different. If it is time for your yearly and you are TTC let them know when you make your appointment. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE A YEARLY!!!!!! I never thought that a yearly would mean so much...I went while TTC and it was the most useful, meaningful yearly I have ever had.
And although I am not PG...my dr said that it didn't matter...a yearly is the most important thing for a womans health, and if they are PG when they should have a yearly They should still go for the appointment.

Yes, you can and should go for your pap. I've had two since I've been pg, it is not a problem.

yes, of course. When I got pg, the first thing they did was give me a pap and take my blood.
