Gyno question

[pityfarmer.livejournal.com]

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster yadda yadda yadda. I'm sure tons of questions like these have been answered but I don't know who else to ask and everyone I have asked/everywhere I have searched hasn't helped.

I have a gyno appt on Monday and its my first one. Its due to irregular periods/cramps that I faint from/cysts and more. Well my period showed up for the first time in 3 months and so I called the clinic and they said to still come in since it would be impossible to rebook around it.

I'm fine with the exam itself, but what the hell do I do about my period?!?! I can imagine a tampon would be clean but wouldn't coincide with the "no sex, douche etc 24 hours before". So should I wear a pad and be all messy?? How would that work?

Please help.

I've gone to my gyno appointment wearing a pad while I was on the heaviest day of my period, and they didn't care. They deal with this all the time. :)
