Do you think it's ok to lie about this?

[NannyR]

I received an appointment this morning for a barium swallow test. The information that came with it, states that if the appointment is more than 10 days after your last period you should rearrange it because the amount of radiation would be harmful to a pregnancy. Apparently I will be asked when my last period was when I go for the appointment, more than 10 days and it will be postponed.

I think I will be on week three of my cycle, but there is absolutely no chance at all that I could be pregnant or become pregnant in the next week. Is it ok to tell a white lie in these circumstances?

I know the obvious thing would be to just call up and rearrange, but I'm worried about the test and want to get the results back quickly. I'd rather not postpone it for a couple of weeks.

If its not possible because you are single or a same sex relationship, I would be inclined to lie

Otherwise no

If the reason there is no chance is that you are not currently sexually active with a male partner I think I would just tell them that, rather than lie.

If it's purely because of pregnancy risk and you definitely not pregnant then if it was me i would lie. I wouldn't want to wait longer for a test I'm worrying about if o knee there was no chance of pregnancy.

If its because the test needs to be done at a certain time in your cycle then I would rearrange.

Make, knowing some of the jobsworths that ask the questions, I would lie about the date.

Sorry for typos bloody phone is being a PITA

I'm a single gay woman so there is no chance of me being pregnant! The test isn't anything to do with my menstrual cycle. The reason I thought about lying about dates rather than telling them I'm not sexually active is that, as musicaltheatremum said above, that reason might not fit into their "tick box". I think I will just go ahead and make up a date.

I would lie also.
