thanks TK and Mizqtie.

No i read some books and it states that the cervix is highly vascularised whilst pg which can lead to spotting after an examination or pap smear. I had implantation bleeding @ 10dpo, this is totally different but thanks mizqtie. Dr said I would have some spotting, as he obviously noticed it after he did the examination, but it still made me nervous. but cramping has now died down so feeling a bit better.

Im not sure why he didnt do a bt, i think it was because he said i was low risk? whatever that means. But now i have to wait another 4 weeks for confirmation which is a bit of a pain.

I do not have any experience with pap smears in first trimester, so can't offer any info. I am glad that the cramps have settled down. With my first pregnancy, my GP gave me a referral for a blood test when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. However, with my subsequent pregnancies, I don't think I went near a GP until I was nearly in 2nd trimester.
I hope you are feeling OK now. Sorry I don't have any specific, useful advice!
