How old were you guys when you went to the gyno... I am 17 and I haven't been to one...

 

[acesupercoolme]

The first time going to see the gynecologist was a bit nerveracking, but then after you realize that it's no big deal, then the next time you won't be nervous anymore.

 

[acesupercoolme]

I think I was 15 or 16 when I went because my mom wanted me to go.
You're supposed to go when you become sexually active for sure though, so whenever that is for you, then you'll have to go.

It depends of you are sexually active or not. I was old 21 at the ER back in the spring, and then the last time I went to the gyno. If you are sexually active, you should go in ASAP.

 

[disneyworldluvr349]

I am NOT sexually active... So you really don't have to worry about it until you are?

 

[acesupercoolme]

I don't think so.

 

[pigletgirl]

No no no, whatever comes first. Being 21 or sexually active.

 

[JulielovesDisney]

Julie,
Its really no big deal. It is super quick. It is a bit awkward at first, but you soon realize once you have that first experience there isn't anymore privacy!

It'll be ok.

As for me...still not period. It should be here at any moment.

Yeah..the more I think about it, the less nervous I'm getting. Really, it's not that big of a deal. And my mom said it's over and done with really quickly. She said once I'm sexually active, the exams take longer cuz they do testing or something. idk..haha

I'm 19 and this is my first visit.

Yeah, I'm getting less and less nervous now.
Of course the day of the exam, I'll be freakin out probably..lol

Unless you are having problems or abnormalities with your period, you don't need to worry until you're sexually active.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Yeah..this is my first visit ever. I basically grilled my mom about it.
I'm just nervous about some strange lady poking around...down there. That freaks me out.
Luckily it's not for a few weeks, so I'll have some time to mentally prepare..haha

And I think you are qualified to post on here... =) haha

That's good. I kind of wish that mine visit will be spur of the moment though. That way I'd have less time to worry.

The only thing I'd be worried about is how awkward I would feel. I know the doctor sees ******s all the time, so it's like no big deal for them. I have to think of it like any other organ. Like my arm or something.

I'm 17, and I haven't been.

Nope, not until you turn 21. But if you ever feel like you need to go, you should. Like if you're having abnormal periods, think you might have an infection, etc.

I'm 'scheduled' for my period next Thursday, but I'm not sure if I'll get it then. I haven't gotten quite good at predicting them yet, because I think mine come more far apart than other women. My friend has her's every 40 days, instead of the usual 28, so I think that might be what it is.

 

[acesupercoolme]

Mines always exactly 28 days apart, and it lasts for 5 days every time.

 

[pigletgirl]

Mine is anywhere from 29-40 days. It all depends on my stress level, ect.

Julie....when I went to the gyno back in late April, she told me that she lost her period for the first 2 years of college due to stress. I guess I didn't realize how much that can have a toll on your body. I really hope that case is true for you as well!

Yeah. I think my appointment is in like 2 weeks. So I'm sure I'll get more and more nervous..haha.

And my periods have been so messed up..haha. They'll come a solid week early or week late, and be really heavy, then really light. And sometimes really painful cramps too. So hopefully I can get a pill that cures all that..haha

My periods are screwed up, too. Sometimes they're so heavy that I don't want to leave the house, and other times they're really light and only last for a couple days.

I always know when I'm going to get my period soon though, for about a week before I will have awful awful cramps.

Yeah. I was totally normal before I went to college, then it went all wacko...and annoying..haha!
And I hope that the gyno can fix my messed up body.. =)

Aww.. sounds like you're having a hard time too! lol
Periods just suck!! lol
I wish they didn't happen at all!

 

[ginnygirl102]

I agree with Nana!! and how is everyone? and I'm 12 so all of this stuff REALLY freaks me out haha but I can get involved with the convo and I started my period this week and I'm happy cuz I thought I would get it next week when I'm at the beach haha

 

[acesupercoolme]

If you're really stressed and want to be more relaxed, try yoga. It really helps calm you down, same with taking a spa day, you should try that too. And stay organized if you're not already.

 

[pigletgirl]

Just a part of life! But its also reassuring too. KWIM?

Yeah....I guess I just hate it! I mean I hate how guys don't get it and then they get all mad at the girls. And then when you try to tell them why they're like "whateverrrr"

 

[pigletgirl]

It tells you that you are healthy. Everything is working ok. And guys have just as many hormonal fluctuations as girls do. It just doesn't come in the form of a monthly period.
