Yeah. This is what one side of my inner conversation keeps saying. Avoiding having a period would be fantastic though.

The only thing that was new to me was that there's always a nurse in the room during the exam.

I got over my ban on men rather quickly, mostly because I never really cared to visit the same doctor twice, and it was more like "give me whoever's available on this day at this time because that's when I have time for an appointment."

My last doctor, who I actually saw more than twice, was a really weird looking older man. When I first saw him I kinda freaked. His eyes are nearly shut all the time, and sometimes he does close his eyes while he's talking to you. Weird. But the pap itself was quick and no prob. Next time I needed an appointment, I discovered that this guy was much more readily available than any other doctor I'd seen. Having a homely man for a doctor has it's perks.

Another out of the blue squeamish question - sex during your period?
