Weird spotting post-pap?

[suckstobu.livejournal.com]

Hi all :)

I know it's sometimes normal to have some minimal bleeding after having a Pap, but I need some reassurance...

I had my 2nd-ever gyno exam today, and immediately afterward (and it's still happening) I started spotting brownish, weird-textured discharge. It's the color of what beginning period blood would be, but I'm concerned because a) at my 1st exam a year ago this didn't happen at all, and b) the texture it just...strange. I'm not even sure how to describe it...like...sandy? It's not goopy or liquidy really, it's...dry?

It's not a lot, but it's been happening for about 9 hours now.

Has anyone experienced this before? Should I be worried?

Thanks! <3
