Thank you Zan (and everyone else) - this is very helpful information! I
have been bleeding lightly ever since my PAP (which was Monday
morning)... I called the doctor and they say that this must be a
period, not caused by the pap. I don't think that's likely, since I
have TWICE in my entire life had a period without medication, but hey.
I'm trying to decide now if I should count this as a bleed or not.
