I am going to a new Dr today-a WOMAN dr.
I just want a second opnion of everything, and shes going to do the lovely "woman exam" I just feel like women tend to know more, ya know, about that kinda stuff......

So if ya have any good luck vibes, feel free to send some my way-please.

Thanks-Monica

Good luck. And remember to keep your vaginal and adbominal muscles as relaxed as possible. It makes a big difference both to your own comfort and the throughness of the exam. Possibly get drunk first.

Guess cuz I was driving to the dr.'s office although I know a great lawyer (my DH is a public defender)

I prefer being "vetted" by a woman
Unfortunately, all the gynos here are male
So I give myself the speech that I give to my kids and pets, "Your job is to be a good patient; the doctor's job is to find out what's wrong/make sure you're okay". and I pretend in my mind that i'm out in the mountains somewhere,, anywhere but in that "position" that I'm in

Good luck to you, my daughter prefers a woman doctor, me I don't care I lost all my dignity while giving birth, especially being stitched by the most handsome man aside from my DH. Last time I was examined though, I was more concerned with the spider hanging down above me, and they terrify me, so the examination was nothing!

Hopefully all went well


I only allow my woman doctor to do that womanly test...I don't care how professional a man doctor is, he is still a man..and men are PERVS

I also go to a woman DR., I feel better going to a woman, than a male - I don't know why... I just feel really uncomfortable going to a male DR., for anything!

I REFUSE to see a male for that care. In fact, my primary DR is a woman and who I see for that stuff! It's much better that way I think. The last time I went, in the middle of my exam, the nurse assisting her complimented me on my toenail polish!


Hope you found a happy place to drift off to!

Well as luck would have it, my "monthly" started, so I had to reschedule that appt. for Monday.
I did go in for my blood work though.
