emmychan.livejournal.comOk, I've always had a very irregular period ever since I started when I was 15 (I'm 17 now). It would come, be very light, and then it would come back every three months. Then it stopped for about a year. It started lightly for a few days when I was at opera camp and living in close quarters with a girl who was heavily on it, but stopped as soon as I got home.
Now, recently I've been sick, so I went to the doctor. Just a sinus infection. So I walk into the room and tell the nurse about all of my symptoms, and then all of a sudden she askes about my period. I tell her (though I'm completely shocked since I have never been asked about it and I find it quite inappropriate seeing how I went in there for my nose) and then the doctor comes in. He starts asking me all about my menstrual cycle, and I just start bawling because I'm not comfortable talking about those things with a man I've never even met... Made everyone there feel bad for me.. And then they set me up an appointment with a OB GYN.
Now, that was a very traumatic experience, and I don't think I will be going back to that clinic, but I do know that I need to go see a doctor about my period. But I'm really nervous. I'm a virgin, so I'm not really enthralled about people seeing such a personal part of me, much less someone I have never met before! I have an appointment with a female doctor, but I have no idea what to expect! Could anyone please tell me what happens, and will it hurt me since I'm a virgin?
Thanks Em
