my yearly is scheduled close the ovulation...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

i'm just realizing that my yearly appt. i made weeks ago will land right during that critical time.  i pretty much made the appt. on the day i'll ovulate (approx, of course). 

isn't the rule: 'no intercourse 24 hours before your appointment'?  i'm thinking maybe having sex about 12-18 hours before won't be a big deal (we can just have sex anytime we want w/a 2 year old running around).

sorry if this is a lame post.

    You can still have sex, but it just means you will have some semen left over in you when your doc does your exam...

    My doc says no sex at least 24 before the pap -- it can up the chances of an irregular pap

    I have always been told by my doctor to make my annual ob/gyn appts around CD7 of my cycle. SBEs are easier at that time (and your breasts are less tender) plus it doesn't interfere with the 'intercourse rule' when you're TTC, since most women generally do not ovulate near CD7.

    THIS, but worst case scenerio, you will get a false irregular pap and you will know why.  Your doc will just redo the pap and it will (should) come back normal (unless it would have been irregular anyways). 

    I would go at it like normal and see what happens.

    I've had sex before many paps. And all were fine.

    This topic has never even come up with my doc.  I have only had issues with AF showing right before or even the day of once.  I was worried that would happen again this time, but since my O was late/delayed, I will only be 8dpo on monday so I think I'll be safe.

    Right, let's waste money redoing a pap that would have otherwise been normal because someone couldn't keep her legs closed for one freaking day.

     

     

    Everything will probably be fine.  I personally would rather pay my $20 copay twice rather than not get pregnant for another month.  Seems like a small price to pay considering what I spend on OPKs, HPTs, etc.  That is just me though.
