I have my annual check up scheduled for next week, but could be on my period. (Not real regular yet since the baby.) Should I reschedule or go?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks ladies! I called and they said I could call and reschedule on Monday. They were already closed today.

If you need a Pap , that can't be done while actively bleeding. If you are just having an exam, doc will still do that.

Reschedule. Can't get a good pap reading if you are having your period.

Of course they don't "care". It's not about being grossed out.

My doctor doesn't care. As long as it's not full on heaviest day, I still go to my annual.

Nah... It won't matter to the doctor. Mine never has had me re-schedule. It may be a bit awkward for you, but these doctors have seen everything. ;-)
