I remember when I went to the gyn for the first time a few months ago to start birth control. My friend has really bad heavy periods where she can't have the heaviest tampon in for over 2 hours she bleeds right through. I feel bad for her... but anyways, I was so scared to go and she told me not to worry, it's not that bad and it tickles but not the most pleasant thing you'd like. She's on the pill now, but it's good to go in because there's a new shot out the HPV one, and they have alot of good options and help you keep clean.

Luckily, they didn't need to examine me since I wasn't sexually active at the time. But good luck to you!
