...for all you ladies with more experience with medicine for grownups than I.

This Friday, I'm having my first check-up/whatever else needs to be done (I hope!) in several years. Long overdue. Scheduling stupidities. But on the list of things that need to be done (along with a tetanus shot, damn it) is a pap smear. But I started bleeding just yesterday, so I'll probably still be on my period by then. What's the ettiquete?

Hardly a lady here, but I've heard that you shouldn't go to a PAP smear while on your period. Aside from being messy for the doctor, I think it can give false results or something. Call and reschedule, or at least ask.
