I was 15 minutes late for my flight to Manila for my medical appointment so I have rebooked my ticket for tomorrow. And just tonight I have my premenstrual period...what am I gonna do???? Why they dont allow to have our medical when we have our monthly period? Do they check us down there? How? do they examine the cervix and everything thats inside there?


Thank you for any input.

Everything will be the same whether you have your period or not..even though u have ur period, they will do pregnancy test...they don't look inside "there" or even cervix...nothing to worry..hope you got ur flight tomorrow!

So it doesnt matter then? they will still entertain us and will complete the medical appointment even if we will have our period?

First day of my early medical i had also 1st day of my monthly period & i done pregnancy test even if i have. Then the staff there told me that i will come back until my period is gone so i come back there after it's gone to do my 2nd day of medical. I think the reason why they want every applicant to do their medical w/ no monthly period is because of the physical examination. The doctor will examine all. Good luck

I honestly dont know what to do. My flight will be few hours from now but Im still doubtful to risk going to Manila. Im from Cebu and dont have any relatives there so I have to stay in a pension house or hotel, Manila is so expensive so as much as possible I dont want to stay there for a long time. My interview date will be on April 22nd and period usually lasts 7-9 days.

Thanks for the input friends!

you can still go for your medical exam but they will only get xray, check vital signs, height, weight, give blood test. but they will definitely make you come back for your physical exam since you have your period. during the physical exam they will make you take off ALL your clothes, read strip naked, and they will check every nook and cranny of your body especially down there. it would be very messy if you insist on having your checkup with your period, dont you think? go back after 2 days or as soon as your period is gone. if i had known you earlier i would have invited you over to our house in manila as i am also a cebuana. maybe you can try calling me when you come over...send me a pm and i will send you my local number or cell#. good luck and God bless!!

Thats nice of you foxyroxy. I dont know how to pm you as Im new here but I guess finding a cheap apartelle would be alright with me....if I can find.

I went to a gyne this afternoon and asked her for a pill that would stop the period and she said Im too late and Im still taking the pill in 50/50 chances. Its still raining hard here in Cebu and theres a heavy flood outside the house. Airlines are fully booked. We were listed for a chance passenger til the last flight and we were just unfortunate. Sigh~ if only....

yes i did hear about the floods in cebu...bad news indeed...anyway good luck to your medical...take care!!!

Im from mindanao & also my mom w/ me during medical. I have relatives in manila but i dont like to stay them so thats why my husband (fiancee) no choice we stayed in hotel lol!! Well,if you know that this week your period is coming its better to have your early medical. Your period so long ha? But just go there & good luck for your medical & interview.

Zandy went for her medical today and she still has 1 more day of her _______. She went through the first day ok but was asked to come back Thursday instead of Wednesday

So, from what she is telling me.. you have to be clear of everything before they will do the second day evaluation.

Good deal! This is the part that get's a tad frustrating because one of our members was explicity told to reschedule/replan their visit because of a menstrual cycle. While other members still attend their medical exam (on their cycle) and still get attended with no problems. I'll caveat the statement in the Guide to reflect this...

Cheers!!!

hello friend. the doctor will not check your ##### if you have period, they will tell you to go back after your period was finish.

Right! I just got back from Manila and was entertained at St. Lukes. The only thing Im missing is the physical examination so I have to go back after my period.


When you came back from the physical examination did you get done for everything the same day? like vaccination, releasing and all that stuff....or did you came back the day after ?


Thanks!

hi loi, a friend of mine also had exactly the same case as yours. she didnt know that they wouldnt do the physical exam if she had her period. it was her 2nd day. the SLEC staff told her to come back after her period is gone. she returned after 3 days when her period stopped. she went in the morning and was done by early evening. so all was done in one day but be prepared to wait for a very looooooong period. she brought along baon food and book to read. good luck to you!

Ohh I just read your reply. You seem to be helping me lots Foxy....thank you for that .
