I have an appointment with the Consultant Gynaecologist and I will be MENSTRUATING - etiquette?

[morningpaper]

Erm what do I do?

Will there be a silver platter to desposit my Mooncup onto?

What is the etiquette?

this happened to me for my first appointment

they don't like to examine you while you've got your period so if you can (or if you're expecting an examination), I would reschedule

I'd reschedule it too.

I have a foul story I can relate if you want? Not about a gynaecologist mind - but an AF-related embarrassment?

I don't know if I can re-schedule, it was a last-minute appointment and it's NHS

GAH

I don't think he will be delving inside, just having a quick look on the outside and then running away screaming I think

Jeez I can't exactly ring him and ask, can I?

When I say foul, I thought it was funny. It wasn't me though, I hasten to add!

oh yes PLEASE hunkermunker

You need to rebook it

Ah, then I'd go anyway and mention it before you derobe.

erm..yes . you need to reschedule

or

use it as a time to spread the mooncup word .... he could order them in bulk from franny and give them to all his patients!

unless he needs to see you when you are menstruating!!

there..covered all bases now !

do tell, hunker....

Friend of mine was pleasuring a lady in an oral fashion upstairs at a party.

He came downstairs with a big smile on his face.

Sadly, everybody else at the party soon worked out what he'd been doing because...well, he could've been called Redbeard, shall we say?!

yes tell us hunkster

Do you think I need to rebook?

It will be day 5 or so, so only ahem a light flow

Shit I might actually ring and ask

lol

that is sick making

Hunkeeeeeeeeeer

that's just plain disgusting

I wish I hadn't asked now

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!!!!!

Told you it was foul

This was YEARS ago, I hasten to add. Not a 30-something party, more a student romp-under-the-coats one.

ring and ask mp - they seemed v nonplussed when I had to phone about it!

I've got his email address

I might email him instead

GAH I typed in his name and it brought up my PARISH PRIESTS email address

luckily I spotted that immediately

rofl!!

Boy that could have been embarrassing ....!

Wish you hadn't now!

no no I have typed the email and it sounds terrible

I will just turn up and confess

It will be the end of my period and I don't think he will need to give me an internal

gah

Can't you phone his receptionist? She (I'm assuming) will know the score.

He's a Gynaecologist FFS - he knows about periods. Just phone and ask.
