They'll still do it. You'll just have to sit on this enormous pad thing during the procedure.

ah see

my experience was different.

For a physical that involves a pap smear...you will have to come back just for the pap if you are in the midst of your period.

And I don't think you want the breast check if your girls are sensitive during your period. Just to be clear I am talking about the breast exam that you do yourself at home one week after the end of each period (which during a physical your doctor should do for you) and not the boob squish/mammogram.

I think it depends on the doctor. Call and ask, before going in.

You should wait, seriously. Never do anything doctorish when you're flooding down the river so to speak...

I would go in and just get it done.

Having your period isn't bad, it's natural.

I've going to the doctor, and check ups w/ my period.

Are you going to the doc for a physical or to the gyno for an annaul check-up?

If you're going to the regular doc, just go. It's no biggie.

However if it's the gyno, they can usually do everything BUT the pap because it's too likely that it won't be accurate & they'd have to do it again anyhow. It's ok to come in if I was only lightly bleeding (like at the end of your period) though.
