so i have an appointment at the gyno today. my first ever, and i am beyond anxious. i don't like going to the doctor in general, but going to one that will be looking at my bits is even scarier. i know i need to, have been needing to for a while, but i've been putting it off for so long that i feel like if there's something wrong that it'll be really wrong. both my mother and my brother have PCOS, and i've never had a regular period (except strangely for the past couple of months).
i also don't know what to expect when i go in. i scheduled a "general check-up," but what does that entail? i don't know if that means they'll have me disrobe or anything, or if we're just going to talk.
i also want to bring up getting on birth control, but i'm anxious about that as well, what with the attitude around contraception for people born with uteruses right now. even if i do get onto birth control, it might be really expensive. i might have difficulty getting the prescription filled. i'm seeing more and more stories about people being refused service for birth control from pharmacists in conservative states. not to mention all of the side effects people experience on pill birth control. and even if i don't go with pills, i have heard horror stories about implants being excruciating to get.
and this appointment is probably gonna wipe me out of money. which isn't going to be the end of the world, because i'm going to try and donate more plasma here in the next couple of days, and with me starting my new job, i'll be getting a check here in the next couple of weeks. i just wish that i wouldn't have to wash all my money down the drain just to keep up with my health.
ughhhh.
