This is Scary
I can remember dreading that yearly appointment with my lovely OB/GYN. It was horrible and not something I looked forward to. I would go sit in the waiting room all clamy because it was mortifying knowing you were about to go put your legs up in stirrups and let a complete stranger be in your business. Oh and it's even better when they have students in there. Well I had my vaginal ultrasound on Friday before I can start my Femara. While I was driving home it dawned on me that I don't even think twice anymore about that being uncomfortable. It's like it has become second nature to strip down and let a Dr be in my business. I don't get nervous or uncomfortable anymore. I find this very troubling and had to share. LOL.

The classic infertile's loss of modesty:)! I have the same experience! I guess it's a good thing we don't get that anxious with the doc down there, otherwise we'd get worked up on a weekly basis and that would be exhausting! So, maybe it's a survival thing?
I remember when I first lost my dignity and self-respect during this infertility process. The stirrups seemed like a "comfortable" place all of a sudden... And even worse was when I stopped even shaving my legs before appointments! :)
Seriously! I recently said that I shouldn't have to do yearly ob/gyn check ups for the next 10 years as often as I was in stirrups showing my business during infertility treatments! It no longer bothers me either, which is disturbing :)
