Ladies,
Does anyone know if you can have a colonoscopy during your menstral cycle?
My menstral cycle has been irregular since I was diagnosed with UC in 2010. If anyone knows the answer, will you please let me know?
Thanks,
Em

I think they ask you to use tampons if possible during the procedure. Just let the nurse know and all will be handled.
Here's to good results. Lizzie's mom is right on with the diaper cream and having all the liquids in house. A good book is another necessity for me. I also make sure my batteries are fully charged on the iphone and ipad!

Thank you again for your help! You're always here for me when I have questions. I actually didn't want to delay it, but wanted to make certain I could have it done during my cycle. It is something I did not think of until after my appointment a few weeks ago in April. I scheduled it in early spring to get it out of the way. I'm praying all goes well this time!
Thanks again!

Your period has no bearing on the scope....sorry, no reason to delay. I saw your post on making prep easier. I try to be as prepared as possible. I stock the house w/all the clear liquids, jellos, ice cream, yogurt, broths that she needs. I also buy a moisture barrier cream (diaper rash cream) for her bottom, enema, etc. It helps to have everything needed so I don't have to run out on her.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
