Are you kidding me? I finally got an obgyn appt for Monday and today Aunt Flo started. I seriously never have periods. Knowing my luck they won't be able to reschedule for a long time and I'm anxious to get on BC/hormones now.
That shouldn't mean you have to reschedule. They can even do internal all sorts when you're on your period, it's more about how YOU feel about it, and obviously what you're saying is its that bad, why wait... They've seen it all before. You can't have a smear on your period though.... At least I don't think it's recommended.
And I don't know about bc there, but here, you just need an appt, blood pressure taken, brief medical history chat and you're away!
As for pcos, a simple ultrasound scan is all it takes to diagnose it, never mind blood tests etc. I mean, that will look at hormone levels, but you don't need that to diagnose. They can even do an internal ultrasound when you're menstruating.
It is so bloody hard being a bloody woman!!!!! So many bloody things to think about. Men have no idea how easy they have it.
I hate smears. Like LOATHE them. It makes me feel horrid for ages, the sensation makes me want to crawl inside my own skin!!!!!! Violated isn't the word lol. Necessary evil though, and the only joy is knowing once its done its a few good years before you need to go back!!!
