Gynae Appointment

[Heather]

The past tense?

It's gone now but I'm sure the cyst is still there. I don't want tooo goooo

You know you need to get it checked.
If it was a cyst it may have burst and gone of its own accord, so they won't necesarily do anything, but you can't ignore pain.
You're brave. You can do it!!

I finally got the guts to make an appointment last week and I managed to miss it. I rescheduled for this Tuesday and finally went. But as soon as I sat down in front of her - not THE CHAIR, just a normal chair - I broke into hysterical tears. I hate this. She was really okay and supportive, she kept telling me I had nothing to be sorry about and that we'd have to wait some more days. So I didn't even get checked out and ended up panicking, I'm scared to think how I will react on the chair...:eek::cold:

Sorry you had such a hard time Nyx:love:.

I think you are all very brave for even considering going. I just go into a blind panic at the thought of a smear test, so I can't advise anyone. :eek:

CB, I was feeling really foolish about my reaction, especially since I didn't even get checked out. Then again, I know it's a normal reaction. It's normal to panic about it. But you know in the end you have to "feel the fear and do it anyway". Robert Frost said "The best way out is through". Makes sense too :)

Maybe you could try exercising at least calling and making an appointment?

I had realized when I finally went it's been two years since the last check up. And that's not okay, problems in that area are not visible, and when they become painful they usually are already too evolved. Don't wait!

I know I shouldn't keep putting it off. But I really can't face it at the moment.

You know what best serves you and what load you can take on. Just please, take care of yourself, okay?

Ow, ow, ow, it HURTS! So, I finally sucked it up and made an appointment to see the gyn. I've been going to them for the last 8 years since my daughter was born. So, it's not like they're a bunch of strangers. BUT I still hate going!!!!!!!!!

At least I was able to get in soon. My appt. is tomorrow and it's with a really, really nice doctor. I like her a lot.:) But can I say again I don't want toooo goooo! okay I'm done whining. Where's the whining emoticon when you need one?

 

[Nyx]

Well done! I understand dreading to go but it's so good that you did it anyway!:thumbsup:

Thanks Nyx 4 hours to go NOT that I'm counting or anything!:insane:
