Annual exam

Hi,

I scheduled the yearly exam with PParenthood, and they had an appointment for this upcoming Monday. I am worried now that maybe I should reschedule it for later next week, since I just had my AF this past Wednesday. I forget how long I have AF, usually three days on BC, but sometimes I still have tiny spots of it afterwards until it completaly leaves my system. Now should I reschedule it, just in case or should it be okay? Monday it will be day 6 since my AF, I would hate to have to come back again and pay for the exam in case it comes back weird. Any advice?

Thanks a bunch,

J.

i did that on accident once i though i would be done with af i dident even have any bleeding all mroning tell i got to the dumb doctor i ended up having to have mine done again because it came back wered which they told me was a posibality. I would think that you would be done by the 6th day but then again everyone is different i guess if you were all finished or just about fiished you could call the day beofre and tell them what happened and they could give you another appointiment. I dont know that i was mutch help to you. Good luck though

If you're concerned you could always call and ask someone....If you're just "spotting" I would think that it would be OK...be sure to mention it to the nurse when they take you into the exam room....they should ask when your LMP was anyway.....

Right now it seems like it's all over with AF, but I can never be too sure. I debating whether to call and reschedule, I really don't want to do two pap tests and pay for them as well. So I'll call and let the nurse know that I might be still spotting some by Monday. If the thinks I should reschedule then I will. Thanks alot!!

UPDATE: I called the clinic and they said I should reschedule. I got the next appointment for next Thursday, which is plenty of time. :)
