Okay, yesterday I went in to the gynecologist. It went well. My doctor was very kind and helpful. I explained to her my problem, and she was very receptive. Of course, she asked twice if I was sexually active, but apparently she was very impressed with me. My mother had a check-up right after my consultation, and she told me the doctor said she really liked me.
So, no exam for me, considering there was no need. I'll be starting on the birth control pill Yaz. Supposedly it's been researched as a treatment for PMDD.
Just wanted to let you know everything went well.
