OK since there is already a warning on this thread for the boys...
When I did my medical for my CT, I was experiencing intermittent spotting because of my IUD. I had the urine test twice (once at the CFRC and once at the base hospital) and both times there was blood in my urine. The medic at the CFRC sent me to my doctor with a form to get it signed off that the spotting was the problem. The doc ordered another urine test and the clinic at his office gave me detailed directions on how to do a mid-stream sample (thank god for Kegels after I had my babies), complete with wiping instructions. I had never had to do a mid-stream sample before (naive?), and the CFRC and Base hospital just handed me a cup and told me to fill it.
So if your period is predictable and you can schedule your medical for another time without too much hassle, might be better. My delays cost about 2 months.
