Just for everyone's information regarding my wife's experience with the examination. This may be common knowledge for most but not really for this male. On the morning my wife went to Manila for her exam she got her monthly "mens" cycle. LOL so she could only do an exam and not the immunization shots. She will go back next week for them. It was not bad planning but beyond our control. I am glad we went to the medical exam early (8/3 for an interview date of 9/4) to avoid any of these unforseen problems :blush:

That's really odd. Why does having her menses preclude her from having immunizations? One has nothing to do with the other. Is it a cultural thing? I'm just asking out of curiosity as I have not heard of this before, and I am a nurse at a pediatric office where I give shots all day long, including to teenagers currently menstruating.

I believe it must be from blood loss which means loss off some of the strength of the shots. When I got my immunizations to travel to the Philippines they said I should not donate blood to the blood bank for that reason. I donate all the time and I give a pint of blood whenever I can. With the Menses is it possible to lose a pint? I don't believe so but I have to plead male ignorance :innocent:

CORRECTION!

I spoke to my wife and the menses has noting to do about the shots but they could not do the physical exam. The shots they were planning on doing the next day so they told her to just come back in a week and get the physical and shots in a week.

This maybe because women with their periods are sensitive. It is like hormonal thing in a woman. So they are just very careful with giving strong vaccination/shots.
