Exam and Ovulation

Based on OPK and tempting I am set to ovulate tomorrow. I also have an appt. with my OB/GYN tomorrow. Should I have any concerns with getting an exam and ovulating? Can this interfere?

I went to see my OB/GYN last month on the day that I thought I was ovulating & asked her if it would be a problem getting an exam when I was ovulating. She said no, it shouldn't interfere.

No, I had my exam during my 2WW one month and my doctor knew we were TTC and that I could be pregnant and there was no issue with doing an exam.

I wouldn't think so , you have sex when your ovulating/TWW and that's just as intrusive as an exam

I think you should look at a picture of a woman's anatomy.

I'm completely serious, not trying to be snarky.

Ovulating by itself doesn't matter, but if you are TTC, then you are most likely having sex around this time. The semen / fluid could interfere. They say you shouldn't have sex the night before or the day of a pap - it could make the test come back abnormal. It doesn't always, but it could.

there was a discussion about this a while back. some people's doctors advised against it and some didn't say anything. I probably wouldn't have sex the day before/day of the exam because I wouldn't want to skew the results in any way
