Womens Talk
Apologies in advance for this subject matter but have a problem!
Medicals booked for 2 days time. After a year of waiting for the 'monthlys' to return after being prescribed 'deprovra' birth control injection (steer clear - is my advice)! they have now ever so conveniently decided to arrive. Am I right in thinking that you cannot have the medical if this is the case?
I take it you pee in a pot and they just stick their little tester in the pot to see if it's ok - they don't send it off or anything?
Thanks Max

They say you should avoid having the medical if you have your period. This is because blood shows up in the urine, which is normal during a period but abnormal at any other time. Why don't you phone them and ask if they have a way around it? Maybe your wife can do a sample at your GPs and they can certify something??

Hi,
Just reading my own meds forms,
Even though gonads are my forte at the mo, it does say that you can't have meds while on"monthly's".
My missus asked the same question.
Better re-book ours for June 2009
Don't know about peeing in a pot though, was gonna take an old whisky bottle.

I was actually considering being devious - if all they do to test your wee is stick one of those little things to test for glucose and blood like when you are preggars the I may get someone else to pee in a pot and take that into the loo - I can't be fagged to cancel it. Ed's got the dya booked off and it's all arranged and it's a good 1 1/2 drive.
My mum did point out however that this could backfire if it showed something! but reading the med forms they would ask you to do it again anyway in that situation.
Oh what to do!
Hoping it will just stop by then

Hi,
Definitely check with your surgery. There will be blood in your urine, that can also indicate kidney probs as well so give an ambiguous result.
It's a pain but best to find out sooner rather than later.

What a pain in the proverbial!
If it makes you feel any better, my bitch has just come into season today which means I have a LOT of sweet talking to do with the bloke who was going to look after here for two weeks after we go!
Either that or everything has to be put back a week
(Mind you with no sign of the effing visa we might have to do that anyway
)
Bloody women's problems( scuse the pun!)

Yeah, she was supposed to be coming out two weeks later than us to give us time to find a dog-friendly house to rent and a car.
The trouble is that is we wait until her seasn is over then that gives is just a week in NZ to get organised before hubby starts work
AND my mum is currently out there and is hanging on for us to arrive so she can see us before she flies back before her ticket runs out!!
God, everything just seems to be making it as difficult as possible for us at the moment!
And the mess is just another thing to deal with when I have a plumber in while showing the flat to prospective tenants!
My life is very at the moment!!
