Fills & Periods

I know a lot of us feel more restricted when we have our periods... so I was wondering if anybody timed their fills to not coincide with that event. Just thinking here that perhaps having a fill during your period (or premenstrual) might not 'last" as long....

Any ideas?

I spoke with my doctor about this and he said "do not get a fill the week before or during your period becuase your insides swell and you will not have the same about of restriction once the swelling goes down from your period.

It is interesting that someone posted this....I had a fill Feb 22nd, and like three days later I got my period. After my period was over, I swear that I hardly feel like I have had a fill at all. The worst part is...the doctor I go to for fills only does them the last Wednesday of the month, which is right in time for my period. Argh!
