[quote=Anonymous]I had my first gyno appointment at 16 with our family doctor. It was because I was getting horribly sick every period. I wish my mother or the doctor/nurse prepared me for the exam; it hurt so, so much. Maybe it would have gone better if it had been with a gynecologist rather than our family doctor...but we lived in a small town and there weren't many options. So my advice would please share with your daughter what exactly happens...my mom never talked about sex or anything so I don't think it occurred to her to tell me what would happen in the exam room. The doctor ended up putting me on birth control pills at 16 even though I was not sexually active. It was the right choice because my periods were then manageable; before I would miss school/events and I even had to leave a SAT test early because of sudden cramps and nausea. I'm thankful for having the option of pills to control my symptoms.[/quote]
