I hate it all!!
- I hate the pain! As a survivor of sexual abuse, I hate going...period, and I generally refuse to. The thing that gets on my nerves the most, however, is being told it's time for my "annual," as if having that exam should have anything to do with being able to get my birth control.

I haven't been yet...
- I'm just now turning 21 years old and my mom never made me go to the gyno when I was younger, I am so scared to go. I am going alone because I am scared of what my mom will think when she hears me talk about my sexual history and I want to be on birth control. I just don't want her to think that I am a bad person... And I hear all of these bad things about gynos!!! I don't want a man down there or two people in there!!! It's gonna be bad enough that I am gonna be there all alone!!! Then, I have to trust them to not say anything about my hoo-hoo to the other people walking around in the office... I'm scared...

Why I hate the gyno
- They do not listen when I say please use a smaller speculum. I am small inside and require a smaller object. Also, they never do much except push birth control pills or surgery.

One is bad enough! But 2
- It is bad enough to have one person looking between your legs while they are spread out like a frog, but when there are 2 people looking at your most privet parts it is unbearable. Can't they at least look slightly to the side?!! I will never go back!

Bad jokes...
- When my gyno is doing my Pap, he tries to tell jokes... really bad ones. And when I don't laugh he asks me if I am okay. How am I supposed to act when I have a man old enough to be my grandpa looking at my vahoo-hoo and acting like he is Carrot Top? Hmmm...

Men don't use stirrups
- I hate the smug look on the doctor or nurse practioners face when they take the sample.

I hate metal speculums....
- I DESPISE metal speculums. For one, they are always cold no matter how long they hold them under hot water. Second, how gross is it that they keep reusing the same ones over and over? I know they are sterilized, but still.... eww. Gyn's need to spring for the plastic, disposable ones. They are much more comfy for the patients!!
