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.

This is kind of off topic but your symptoms sound very similar to PCOS. I used to not have my period for over a year at a time and when I did get it, it would be really heavy for like 2 weeks. I had cysts on my right ovary as well. I got on the pill and my cysts went away. I'm sure your gyno will be able to clear this up for you though
