Dark brown blood 6 month post op smear

Went for my post op smear today and I have now started bleeding with cramps would anyone say this is normalish I have never bleed with a smear only with the lletz op. 

 

very worried especially with a 6 week wait they need to make this sooner :-( i was also told they will be testing for HPV and if my smear comes back with either abnormal cells again or hpv I have to have another dreading colposcopy I really hope they cleared it first time round.
