Hi guys,

My colonoscopy is coming up on Friday and I am getting really worried about it.
My prep is obviously Thursday, and I am really worried about having to take the cod liver oil.. I think I won't even be able to get it down! Anyway, I got it today and it says on the package in big letters not to take it whilst pregnant or whilst menstruating.
Just to make my life hell, I will be having probably my heaviest period day on Friday, the day of my test!!
What should I do? Should I just take the oil anyway on Thursday, even though my period should start tomorrow (Wednesday)? Can I still have the exam while I have my period? Can I still use a tampon? (Sorry if TMI, I am just concerned).

Blaaaaaah!!
