Any thoughts on when in your cycle is the best time to go for an annual check-up?

Thanks,

Chrissy,

For all of us obsessive girls here (no, not us!), I guess a good time might be toward the end of your cycle, so you could possibly get a "freebie" PG test done! LOL! :) Seriously, though, I don't really know when the best time would be - I think probably any time would be fine. If your doctor's like mine, it would be whenever you can get an appt! :)

I read somewhere that 2 weeks into your cycle is the "best" time to schedule your annual physical. Unfortunately, it was sooooo long ago that I don't remember any of the details. I wouldn't schedule it during or immediately after AF visit - you may not see AF, but she may be lurking inside (sorry if TMI, but this did happen to me). OR, more importantly, right before "O" as you are not supposed to BD 24 hours prior to exam.

Not sure if this helps.....good luck with your exam - I had mine last week. Fun!

havent read the responses yet, but I vote for right after AF leaves. This way your cervix is low, hard and easy to reach, not to mention no ovulation cramps and tenderness in abdomen. I go twice a year and last time was during this time and it was a breeze.
