Can you get pregnant if you have an abnormal pap?

You can get pregnant with an "abnormal" pap.It would possibly be in your best interrest to have a follow up test first and possibly removal of the few cells that causes the test to be "abnormal".The Pap smear test detects changes in the cervix, which may become cancer. However, having an abnormal Pap smear test result does not necessarily mean you have or will get cervical cancer. This is especially true for women who follow their doctor's recommendations for when to have the Pap smear test.A thin layer of tissue, composed of cells, covers the cervix. As cervical cells develop, the cells on the bottom layer move to the surface of the cervix. Sometimes, during cellular development, cervical cells may become damaged or abnormal. When this occurs, these cells develop in an abnormal way and sometimes require removal to prevent cervical cancer from developing.

What could be alternative causes of occasional blood in the bowel movements after tests including a colonoscopy have found nothing abnormal?

All that simply is, is a reoccuring hemmrhoid flare up. The hemmrhoid is probably internal so you don't ever feel it but I had the same thing. I had a colonoscopy done and that's what they told me. As long as your tests came back ok, try to manage it with a high fiber diet and more liquids in your diet. You'll see it disappear.
