Re shaving, I don’t think they deserve a silky shave unless there are cookies.

This was amazing! I have to get referred to a gyno by my new doctor and will think of this whenever my appointment finally gets scheduled.

I have never, not once, shaved for the appointment and don’t plan on doing it anytime soon!

Love this energy! When I was younger (teens and early twenties) I was self conscious of my body hair and now I don't think there is a single situation in life I'd endure razor burn for.

Never have I hear sweat from the second hand anxiety of the gyno and laughed so hard I peed me undies just a little bit

The chaos and anxiety of the visits to the gyno perfectly captured here.

One time I saw my doc simply for consultation to ~discuss~ IUD insertion.

Lo and behold ,

after the chit chat, she had time to actually do the procedure right then and there. Excellent, saves me another trip!

Except... pray tell why was this the ONE time in my life I wore a maxi skirt sans undies?!

So post-

insertion/near-syncope/near vomiting and while I was still

sipping a tiny box of apple juice, she hands me a phone book sized pad for the road.

Now, why should I be embarrassed about anything else at this point; she has literally seen the depths of me, and the aforementioned near loss of consciousness, gagging.

But somehow the most mortifying part of this ordeal is to admit that I do not have any undergarment in which to affix this life raft of a pad.

So I just smiled and said thanks.

Tucked that pad in as best as I could and waddled out to my car with my legs clenched so tightly my toes felt numb.
