Hiya gang
I know its a long way off for us at the moment but im interested in the medicals process...what does it involve..i mean is x-rays the most in depth that it goes and what parts of your body are x-rayed?

Hiya if you do a search there is lots about what the medicals involve,we were on edge when we had ours 2 weeks ago but they are really straight forward you have chest xray,urine sample and bloods then a check over your body ears mouth eyes and for me breast examination not all doctors do the breast examination though, you also have to have extra bloods in you have a tattoo,but is over quickly hope goes well when your time comes love nic

Hi Garbo
we too were worried about our meds,we had lots of different things about what you had to do, with ours we had to weighted,blood test ,wee test, he listened to our chest asked a couple of question on our general health. Then we had our x-rays which were just chest ones,hope this helps

x-rays if over 11. Urine test, weight, height, breast exam (not all dr's seem to do this), bloods - nothing to worry about but you are asked to get down to your underwear - so remember matching ones for her, best boxers for him lol

Well, I had to touch my toes AND kick my leg up in the air!!!!!!!!
I think the doctor must have taken a shine too me........!!!!!!!!!!!!

The x-rays are taken of the chest area... they check for TB/heart abnormalities it think... Its in the standing posistion and its painless - you dont even have to take your top off (only your bra!!!!)

Sorry, I dont want to frighten you Garbo...... you'll be fine! We have all lived to tell the tale.
Good luck with it all !!
