Ok, thank goodness I'm not the only one that finds that totally off!
Trill - that's exactly what I was thinking, okay so really it shouldn't be a big deal, but honestly if I had to see a male doctor there is no way i would be comfortable doing it. Totally weird.

CM- where did you find this bit of info? i have been googling but cant find it.
i have been thinking of getting the bar in but no way in hell would i feel comfortable proving my af was around.

I dunno, not sure it would bother me as such (had plenty of midwives and dr's check my pads post birth due to clotting) so thats not really an issue (but I do understand why it would). I got over that quickly. It just seems a strange request, surely they could do hormone checks or something? Its obviously for legal reasons.

B - the GP I saw yesterday told me that.
I was googling too, and I have just been overlooking the info I was given from the RACGP and it doesn't say anything! I am so confused.
If it was post birth it probably wouldn't bother me but this seems ridiculous. I know I am not pregnant, I would do a HPT if necessary, I just don't feel comfortable with this. And I hate pads.

You could always just ride the cotton pony and point to the string LOL!

I had my implanon put in when dd was 6 weeks. I hadn't had a period yet but assured my doctor that there is no way that I was pregnant as I had a big scar from my epesiodimy and hadn't had sex yet and in any case, I took so long to heal that we didn't have sex until about 12 weeks after I gave birth.

Yeah, but you can put a tampon in even without a period. I use a tampon after DTD all the time to "clean up"
