If you need

Schedule it

Because

A mammogram

During the first half (days 1 to 14 of your menstrual cycle)

Your breasts will be less dense and a mammogram will be easier to read

A Pap Smear

12 to 14 days from the first day of your period

Your cervix opens slightly so more cells are sampled

Surgery

During the first half of your cycle.

You may avoid post-anaesthesia nausea and vomiting

Breast Cancer Surgery

During the second half of your cycle

You may have a better prognosis when estrogen levels are at the lowest
