Please don’t take shots before a literal doctors appointment. That’s how you end up getting flagged by ur doctor. Read up on the whole test so you know what to expect and make sure you tell your doctor you’re nervous. I’ve been there done that and was very nervous but it didn’t hurt at all it just feels kinda weird.

tell ur doctor ur nervous and they should do good with talking about other things to distract u, and give u warning of everything that they're doing!! it's uncomfy for maybe 1-2 mins but it shouldn't really hurt. u got this girl it'll be over before u knw it, ur doing a great thing by keeping up with ur reproductive health

🤷‍♀️well I didn’t. It’s not memorable whatsoever otherwise😭 plus OP your gyno will (or should) talk you thru exactly what she’s gonna do, and keep u distracted by talking to you. It’s more awkward and weird than any sorts of painful
