Hi Darlene, I also live in Canada and have also had irregular paps. I am currently being monitored every 6month by my gyno. OHIP covers this b/c it is considered essential by my gyno. I would try to not get too concerned about the irregularity, but I would stay on top of being monitored and calling for results - if you are that concerned, 1 phone call my put your mind at ease. I always try to remember 1 thing - it's my health and I have to take care of it the best way I can!! Best of luck - Lisa
