Hugs to everyone! It seems like your first exam is scary and tough. I was lucky in a weird way.

I went to planned parenthood because I was 17 and although my mother had signed a release for me to be treated by my doctor without my mom being there I was terrified that the doctor might mention, in passing, that I had been there which would have tossed me into the fire so to speak.

I made the appointment and ironically my boyfriend's ex girlfriend went with me. She showed me how to drape the paper sheet and held my hand and told me a story about a lost dog. To this day I can recount the whole story (that was almost 12 years ago). I didn't really even notice the doctor.

Awesome story telling props to the ex girlfriend though. Every "ok expect a pinch, pressure, or whatever" was immediately followed by a turn of events in the story. Before I knew it, it was all over. I put my clothes on and asked the ex girlfriend what happened to the dog in the end. Turned out, the dog never existed. She made the entire thing up. She and I are still friends.
