23 Thoughts Every Girl Has When Going To The Gynecologist
By Ali Arnone
- Oh, crap. I have my gyno appointment today.
 - I HATE the gyno.
 - Once a year is one time too many to be violated, poked and prodded with cold metal objects.
 - Guess I should probably shower, huh?
 - Ugh, I need to shave. This poor doctor doesn’t need to be subjected to my winter stubble.
 - I’m shaving and now I’m putting lotion on. I feel like I’m getting ready for a date.
 - Well this kind of IS a date. I mean, I’m going to end up naked during it.
 - OK, I’ve arrived. Time to fill out some forms. I don’t like filling out forms.
 - Now I’ll just wait until they call my name. What’s that? An HPV brochure? Cool, cool.
 - Ah! It’s go-time.
 - The assistant is going to take my blood pressure and ask me a few standard questions. This is the easy part.
 - Ugh, you want to weigh me? Please, God, no. I like to live in my ignorant bliss where I haven’t stepped on a scale and just believe I weigh 100 lbs.
 - OK, so the weighing thing is happening. Thanks for saying the number out loud… even though I can see it.
 - I can *never* figure out how this gown goes on. Does the opening go in the front or back?
 - And what’s this random oversized paper towel thing for? Where does that go?
 - I’ll just wait here for the doctor. No clothes on, weird hospital gown on, unflattering fluorescent lights and models of fake vaginas everywhere. This must be what Hell is like.
 - Alright, doc is in the house. Let’s get this ish over with.
 - Thanks for making small talk with me during the process. Discussing the current weather almost makes me forget we’re getting to second base.
 - Ah, the stirrups. Gotta love them stirrups. What’s the most uncomfortable, mortifying and/or horrible position you can think of? Laying with your legs in stirrups is worse than that.
 - Oooo-kay, THAT is not comfortable. REALLY wish you weren’t doing that.
 - Again, thanks for the small talk while the clamp is being used. I’m super glad your son is enjoying his first semester back at college.
 - And we’re done? EXCELLENT.
 - See ya in a year, doc.
