I'm going to the Gyno tomorrow and..?!
Question: I absolutely hate it! Especially when it's a male. I've been a few times but it's so stressful and nerve-wrecking. How can I calm my nerves and just relax? Any tips? Advice? Thanks ladies! xo

Every woman will agree it isnt our funnest moments while at the gyno, but I always keep in mind its very important.. Heres what I do, when im at the docs and i get really nervous I pull out my cell phone and play a game. That way my minds distracted and I dont focus on whats going on...
Good luck
breathe! put one hand on your belly, aim to breathe so that you will raise the hand. breathe deeply into your belly. keep doing it, and really concentrate on it. it will help.
my room mate is a gynocologist and he is gay - so calm down he doesn't care and he's not interested TRUST me!
Just don't forget that you can always request a female doctor, just tell them (that's what I did, but the lady I had wasn't so nice, so I am just fine with any other doctor but her).
But just answer the questions your doctor ask, and focus on other things, think about something else, like if you're doing anything fun over the weekend, or any new movie you want to see. It always helps to keep your mind busy with other things. Not to mention, just think, once it's over.....it's over..treat yourself :)
I couldnt do a male. I have a female. I dont really know what to tell you to get you to relax. I dont think it matters how many times you go, it wont change. Im just a person that is okay with him down there. So Im sorry! :(
I am 32 years old and I have been going every year since I was 16. I STILL hate it. Just wait till you get pregnant. You will have to go ALL THE TIME! It never got any easier for me but everyone I know says they got used to it after a while.
Good luck
Remember that everyone gets nervous & they do it allll day long. Seriously it's like they're looking at your throat, it's just another part of the body, another exam. They're looking out for your best interest. I'd tell you the same thing the first person did too-deep breathing so that the stomach rises. You'll be fine! =)
