ORIGINAL: ThePrettyOne Thank you and the three weeks thing is pretty normal. It cancer is there that is about how long it takes to grow in a lab. But in the case of my colon cancer biopsy it came back positive before the next morning 30 minutes before my emegancey operation for a tear in my colon/large intestine. I am trying not to worry too much. Just wait and go from there. I can only imagine a pap smear taking that long if your health care provider is in a small community and the specimens are sent out to a large volume facility. Even then, it seems exceedingly long, considering what is involved in testing. My guess is that the time has to do with the test turnaround time and then scheduling you in to see your health care provider after he/she has had an opportunity to view your results. About your statement "that is about how long it takes to grow in a lab", (with regards to cancerous cells), I would like to ask you who told you that? With Pap smears, the cervical scrapings are brushed onto a slide, the slide is stained with Papanicolaou stain and then examined under a microscope where the technologist looks for any atypical cells. There is no plating of the cells for growth. This is not how a Pap test is done. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/pap/test.html To answer your OP, I agree with juliaoceania. That was the primary reason for the breakthrough bleeding I've experienced. I can also see FelineFae's point with regards to an intense orgasm as I have experienced that as well. With all of that said, the only answers you are going to get are going to be from your health care provider. There are a myriad of reasons for this type of bleeding and with your history, there is reason to be extra cautious.
