A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It doesn't make it easier or harder to get pregnant.

A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It has nothing to do with detecting pregnancy. You can bleed even if you're pregnant. If you think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test.
A pap smear is a normal part of prenatal care. It should be done during pregnancy if the screening test is due.
No, when your pregnant, on your first visit they will ask if you've had a pap smear recently and if you haven't they will perform one right then and there.
There is no "pap smear urine test." A urine test may be done at the time of the pap smear to detect other conditions. Talk with your heatlh care provider to find out what tests were done during your exam.
Not really, as he has to send the smear out to a pathologist who will take a look at the smear under a microscope. The pathologist will send a report back to the doctor who took the smear. The first doctor will then let you know what the results are.
None
Pap smear uses a small sample of cells gently collected from the cervix to look for cancer or precancerous problems on the cervix. A pap smear doesn't detect a mass. If a doctor finds a mass at the vulva or cervix at the time of your pelvic exam, a biopsy may be done. If the mass is internal, for example at the uterus or ovaries, it's not likely that you've have a biopsy that day.
no. a pap smear will test for general cell abnormalities of the cervix. the doctor maybe able to better determine via visual inspection during the pap smear if further testing for anything visually abnormal may be needed (std's, etc). Fertility usually involves a test of a females ovarian reserve (usually measured on days 2-4 of a menstrual cycle, the norm being day 3) which can be done with a urine test (at home) or blood test. this mesure the quantity and quality of the eggs you have left. there are of course other tests to determine the health and vigor of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. But a pap smear cannot be used to determine fertility.
