St. Luke's / Menstruation question

[∞♥ 17]

My fiance is having her medical exam next Monday and according to the slec site, you have to wait 7 days after your period to have the exam. How strict is this requirement?

If the last day of her period is the Sunday or the day of the exam, can she still go through the exam and if they don't do the physical on Monday, would they allow her to have it Tuesday?

If neither, can she go the day before her interview to have the physical...would they be able to forward the updated results to the embassy by the following day? Or would she need to do it a certain amount of days before the interview?

Her interview is the 28th.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this is really relevant given the different venues, but my fiancee just finished her medical so thought I would pass on her experience. She did hers in Kobe Japan.

The nurse stated that the problem with the menstruation is the effect on the urine sample. I spoke with the nurse several times about what would happen if she was on her period. They would not directly answer, only saying "the doctor will let you know what to do". Thankfully she had her period a couple of days after the exam - it was close. We figured that in the worst case she would have to go back for a urine test and that it may be possible to do the urine test locally.

After the exam was finished they told her it would be about two weeks to get the results.

I have heard of several cases where approval was given pending the medical results.

They are very strict about this. If she is having her menstruation during that time she will need to reschedule. I Brain (above post) is right and that during the menstruation period it can effect the outcome of the results of the lab work. So try to have her go there after or a week before her period. Hope that helps.

I remember going like 3 days after my period and that was December 9th of last year. And when they would ask I would say I got my period Dec 2nd and they didn't care because period can last 3-5 days and I said mine only lasts 3 so they let me do everything and nothing was affected. Wow even just writing about this made me uncomfortable but hopefully it will help you out in a way lol

Thank you for the info.

No need to feel uncomfortable, you are a human female and it is a natural function of your species.

And no, I'm not from this planet.

I have never seen anyone post anything here on VJ about this issue. I don't think it's going to be a problem because I think St. Lukes is very lenient in that regard.

Thanks! I couldn't find anything on here regarding that either.
