my last two smear tests 3 months apart have both come back as too cloudy to check and needs to be repeated in 3 months time when the cells grow back, I am worried what this could indicate, I have always had really heavy periods and get lots of stomach pain with my periods

    Hi there....really don't worry about it at all. It just happens like that sometimes. I am sure you will worry but I have had similar and was fine. Its not ideal but sometimes it can be to down to you just about to start your period and they can't see the cells properly.Hope this helps you a bit xxx

    Please dont worry...it means exactly what has been stated. The material for testing was too cloudy.  If it was abnormal at all it would have been stated as such.   It could be the time of the month when it was taken and there was lots of mucus around the cervix.  This happens to lots of women.
