In general you should not schedule your pap test during your period. At least try not to have it done during the days of heavy bleeding. Some other recommendations are:
Do not douche for about 2 days before the test.
Do not use any creams or medicine in your vagina for about 2 days before the test unless your doctor tells you to do so.
Do not have intercourse for 1 or 2 days before the Pap test because it can cause unclear results.
