Okay, I'm about to slip into aunt Bonnie mode, so look out !! Sonnet,
you had the pap done like what 36 hours ago and you are still bleeding??
Does it feel like a period? I know that some women bleed a bit, but not

you are still bleeding. Let me know... I know, I worry, you'd be the
same way to me !
Let me know... talk soon
