Disclaimer: This entry will be about woman stuff. It's not bad or anything, but you can't say I didn't warn you.

I went to the gynecologist for the first time today. Technically I should have gone and seen one at least a few years ago, but I never had insurance or money. They say you're supposed to see one within three years of becoming sexually active or when you turn 21, whichever comes first. Well, I just kept putting it off.

It was definitely a different experience. Nothing bad. Just different. I already knew what to expect because I'd heard stories and read up on what would be happening during the procedure. I was there for an hour, but the exam itself was only maybe 15 minutes. Most of that time was just waiting and filling out the ever-annoying first time patient paperwork.

I think what helped make it a more comfortable experience was the fact that I already knew who this doctor was. He was my sister's OB/GYN and the doctor who delivered her baby. I'd been referred to this guy by her and her friend so I knew that I was going to be dealing with a good doctor. And he was. He explained everything and I already knew that he was friendly and a nice guy.

However, I am glad that I only have to deal with going to a gynecologist once a year. Even though it's a short process, I still don't like doctors.

Right now I'm just waiting on the bill from the doctor's office and the results of my PAP test. He said that everything looked normal and he didn't see any kind of abnormalities so I really shouldn't have anything to worry about.

He also told me some good news. Due to the fact that breast cancer does not run in my family, I shouldn't have to worry about getting a mammogram until I'm 40. So that's definitely a good thing. I still need to check every month, but as long as nothing suspicious pops up, then I should be good.

I think another thing that also made the experience easier was the simple fact that I'm nearing 24, I'm a grown woman and this is something that I have to accept as a part of life. It was a little weird getting naked in the room and wearing just a gown during the exam, but hey, that's just something else I have to deal with. It's not like he can exam my lady parts with my clothes still on.

This really isn't for anyone but myself. I just kind of wanted a record of it for the future. It'll be fun looking back and reading about my first GYN experience.

I'm due for a check up but don't have the insurance. I'm not too fond of Dr.s either. My OBG/YN was a bitch with no personality and unfreindly. That never made a good experience.. I'm glad yours went well! :)
