10 Thoughts I Wish I Could Share with My Gynecologist

Get Pregnant Fast

Navigating a visit to the gynecologist can be quite the ordeal. Here are ten candid thoughts that many of us might wish to express to our doctors during our appointments—because let’s face it, it’s not an experience we look forward to!

1. Do We Really Need to Weigh In?

   Can we skip the weigh-in? I feel bloated for about twenty days a month! I really don’t need those three numbers reminding me to avoid fast food on my way home. A simple visual assessment would suffice, right?

2. Where’s My Coat Rack?

   Just once, I’d love to walk into the examination room and find a designated spot for my coat and clothes while being examined. Hiding my underwear under a pile of clothes on a chair? No, thank you!

3. Last Period? Good Luck!

   You’re asking about the last day of my period? You’re hilarious! I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone the date of my last cycle. Let’s just say it was about a month ago, and I’m ready for this to be over!

4. Can We Dim the Lights?

   Seriously, could we tone down the fluorescent lights? Nothing kills self-esteem quite like harsh lighting. A little ambiance wouldn’t hurt, would it?

5. A Bigger Cover, Please?

   If I’m going to be draped, can we trade in the tissue-paper-thin cover for something a bit more substantial? I’m not a toddler, and I’d prefer something that doesn’t feel like a gift wrap filler!

6. Stirrups, My Friend?

   If I could see the stirrups, I’d gladly place my ankles in them! Laying there, trying to distract myself from the awkwardness, only to be asked to find the straps feels a bit much. How about a little assistance?

7. Close Quarters!

   Sliding down on the examination table feels like I’m trying to land a plane with limited space! I really don’t want my backside to end up on your shoes. Is this far enough? How do I even know?

8. Brr, That’s Cold!

   Everything from the doctor’s hands to those instruments feels like they’ve just come out of the freezer! Can we get a warming tray? Maybe a glass of wine to go with it?

9. Tunnel to China?

   Yes, I get it, you have to check, but let’s be real—this is going to hurt! Can we just agree it’s going to be uncomfortable and rate the pain on a scale from one to ten?

10. Where Are My Parting Gifts?

    After enduring all that poking and prodding, where’s my goodie bag? Dentists give toothbrushes, and I’d settle for a sticker or a discount for home insemination kits from places like Make a Mom. A little something for my trouble would be appreciated!

In conclusion, a visit to the gynecologist can be an awkward experience, filled with questions and discomfort. But it’s also a necessary part of maintaining our health.
