A member asked:
I had a pap smear 2 days ago. i started my period that night. it pushed up my period a week ahead. is that normal?

No: A pap test do not make your period come on earlier. It's possible that you had bleeding from cervical irritation as a consequence of 'scraping' the cervix in doing the pap test.
