Hiya ladies

sorry for the personal nature of this post but I just wanted to some advice. We are going back to the UK tomorrow and my overdue smear test is one of the main reasons for the visit. I rang today to ask about making an appointment and I was informed (and I really should have known this although i didnt realise it was so rigid) that you have to be 10-14 days after your last period within your cycle and these are the only four day window that they seem to want you to have it done during. I understand this will give the most accurate results but it is totally not where i am in my cycle!
I am currently taking the pill and have one left which would mean that my period would be about to start probably next friday. I remember when I was younger sometimes starting the next packet of pills straight after without a break fooling your body into not having the period at all and wondered whether anyone thought this would create the same 'perfect conditions' for having the test done?

any advice is appreciated.

thanks
