Dr's appt and O...

Hi girls,


Have any of you girls run into having O date right around annual Dr's appt? I'm suppose to O right on the same day, hopefully give or take a couple days, but how will the pap effect O'ing? And am I able to BD close to the day? What are your opinions?


Thanks!!!

I'm in the same boat for next month and have been wondering the same thing. I read someplace you're not supposed to BD within 48 hours of your pap because the semen can affect the test but I'm not sure if there's any truth to that or not. I'm curious if it's okay if you're in the 2WW as well.

I was looking online and saw some articles that said 24hrs and some that said 48hrs. Im sure I'm making too big of a deal about this, but seriously, when you only get one chance a month...we dont wanna miss the opportunity, right?


Hopefully someone else will answer this better. Until then, I guess we'll just kepp BDing like usual and hope O day comes a day or two before or after the drs appt....good luck to you!

Semen can definitely affect your pap results, to it's best to go 24 or so hours without BDing prior to your appointment. The pap itself shouldn't interfere with your O. If you have any questions or concerns you can always give your Dr a call. HTH!
