You could go back for another pap smear a week after your period and all is fine.

Some health care providers want to talk about any kind of abnormality face-to-face, and others will only talk about very serious problems in such a discussion. If you're worried, and your appointment isn't in the next couple of days, ask your health care provider to give you some information over the phone.
