I'm scheduled to have a routine colonoscopy on the 18th of August. Unfortunately, it kind of looks like I may be in the midst of my period then. When I scheduled it, I thought I worked it out right and wouldn't be having it; but since then, my periods came a bit earlier than expected...I'm peri-menopausal.
Although I'm not positive this will happen, I wonder if there would be any harm having a colonoscopy during this time..or would it just be that I'd be a bit uncomfortable with the whole idea?
Anyone have this happen? I'm keeping fingers crossed that I don't get it until the day after. I really hate to reschedule as I just want to get this overwith.
I was wondering the same thing I am having one on Monday, and might still be having my period, I am hoping it will be gone, cause I thinkt hat will be yucky!
I'm not bothered by cramps too much, so I'm sure I'll be fine. My doctor has done a few surgeries on me, so I feel comfortable with him and I'm sure blood is no big deal to him anyway.
Chances are I won't be "in full bloom" as I call it when I have it done. Probably just the first day which is usually not much.
