Is it normal to bleed a little after a straight forward smear?

Had a smear done the other day and experienced spots of blood after the procedure only lasted a few hours. I am a little concerned coz never bled before after a smear and wondered if it was a sign of anything else. I am at the moment ttcIs it normal to bleed a little after a straight forward smear?
It's normal. The cervis has thousands of tiny capilaries in it and when disturbed, one or more might bust. It's not a problem. In fact, you might notice this more once you concieve and have sex with your husband. Sometimes just bumping the cervix will cause a capilary to break.
Nothing to worry about.
Hey, good luck trying to get you baby!!
it is very normal
Yes, it's not uncommon to bleed a little as the doctor scrapes live cells off the cervix with a brush so it can be irritating.
it could b normal but still get checked out b/c u don't know what it could b u might need treatment if it isn't normal
It is very common to have a little bit of spotting after the pap smear - Very normal and should not last more than a few days
yes this is quite normal. i wouldn't worry to much about this if i was you. but if you are concerned then a visit to your doc maybe able to put your mind at rest. better to be safe then sorry.
