colposcopy ( examination and biopsy of cervical tissue ) .. Posted: 07-24-06 19:23pm
I recently made an appointment for a
colposcopy (examination and biopsy of
cervical tissue) but realized that the day
for which it's scheduled is right smack in
the middle of my period. Once in the
past, I delayed my period for a week by
switching the first week of my next pack
with the final week of my current pack,
but i'm not sure whether this is the best
idea or even a healthy choice. I know
that I have heard of people switching
their period around with b/c for big
events like vacations or honeymoons, so I
know it's possible--but how should I do
it?
(i can't switch the appointment unless
absolutely essential because I am going to
be out of town for two weeks following it,
and the colposcopy is relatively urgent.)

What you do is, instead of going onto the
placebo/sugar pills (which are normally
week 4) you just start right up on a new
pack of pills. If you are on pills that
have three seperate doses like
ortho-tri-cyclen and ortho-lo, it may be
impossible to skip.
