Gyno & that time of the month (ugh!)

[upoverout.livejournal.com]

I just scheduled a very hard to obtain gyno appointment for monday the 26th and now(!!!!) my body is doing something funky and I can feel that my period is going to come earlier than usual and appear sometime before my appointment and continue through it.

Is it okay to go to the gyno if you have your period? I feel like I shouldn't and I should try to reschedule but it's pretty important that I go now.

Most gynos will ask that you reschedule so you are not menstruating. However, some don't mind.. it also depends why you're going. So basically, you're going to want to call your gyno and ask what s/he thinks.

i second this too. ;) most of the gynocologists i've had don't mind, but one asked me to reschedule. call and see - and if you can't get an appointment that's not two months away, go anyway. ;)

Most gynos won't do a pap while you are on your period but they might be able to do other things, so depending on what you are going in for, you may or may not be able to have it. I would call and check.

I have a pap on the 27th because well my periods have been really irregular and I am already feeling all PMSy at what would make my period a regular 28 days as oppossed to the 45 days I've been experiencing. If I start before my pap, I won't be able to get another appointment for another month.

ugh! sometimes I swear our women parts are pieces of junk! I'm bartering with my body to hold out for the 27th before my period starts however, I doubt it will take the bribe!
