Yes. I've had one. Took 45 seconds. Super simple. Not stressful. Trying to find a doctor/nurse who has the skill is the hard part.

Is the stage of a pap smear that is considered a normal test result?

The speculum (plastic or metal) is placed into the vagina to hold the walls of the vagina apart. The speculum goes under and over the cervix; this is the most uncomfortable you might feel. This lets the doctor visualize (see) the cervix. Then, the doctor brushes the cervix to obtain cells. This used to be called scraping. This is and should be painless. The nurse holds the glass media on which the doctor rubs the brush to transfer your cells to the media. The nurse labels this and sends it to the lab. The doctor removes the speculum and finishes the pelvic exam.


Does the NuvaRing need to be removed for a pap smear?

No, it does not need to be removed for a Pap smear. The annual gyn exam and testing can be done with the Nuva Ring in place. Not that I know of. I have had a pap smear done with it in. It may just be the practitioner's preference. If so, then she/he can probably remove and place it back immediately after the exam. But I would leave it in and inform my practitioner.
