I know this is might seem like a stupid question, but I'm only 16 and have an appointment with an ob/gyn tomorrow. My mom has already answered most of my questions--we're close enough that I feel comfortable asking her--but I would like any other input ladies could offer.

I was told by another doctor that I might have a hormone imbalance and to see a gynecologist to check. How do I prepare for this? My mom doesn't think I'll need a pelvic exam--THANK GOD--but I don't know how to prepare physically. She suggested shaving as usual, but how do you all prepare? Should I shave at all? Hair density is part of the reason why my other doctor thought I might have a hormone imbalance! I just don't know!

Also, any comforting words you could offer would be great. This is the same ob/gyn who brought me into the world and first saw me naked, but I'm still nervous about this appointment!

Sorry if this is not appropriate for this forum/category. I'm new!
