How long until I get results from a pap smear?
I went to my first gynecological appointment last week and they did a pelvic pap smear on me to make sure everything is working right. They said they will be testing for abnormal cervical cells and making sure I don't have something cancerous or whatever. Anyway, like I said, this was my first doctor's appointment like this and I was wanting to know about how long until I get the results from the tests? I forgot to ask the doctor and now I feel weird calling to just say, "Hey, when do I find out if I have abnormal vaginal cells?" hah THANKS

Generally, they wont call you UNLESS there is something abnormal (like cells!).
Depending on where you live / where the lab is, results should turn around in about a week. However, the very best way to find out is to call up your doctor's office and ask the receptionist what the normal procedure is.

Hey i had my first pap smear last month. It took about 2 weeks for my results. If everything is normal then im not sure if the doctor will call you. But if they do call you reguardless they'll let u know what they found and what they think.
