First time making your own gynecology appointment

I was 23. And I was finally off my parents insurance. Up until then my mom made them for me. I quite honestly was completely unfamilar with how to do it.

I found picking a doctor that ok my insurance and finding an appointment that worked for me to be a daunting task. Half of the doctors I picked didn’t has availability for a new patient for like a year. It was crazy. I ended up getting wait listed and they called me when someone canceled.

and I only made the first one because mom was pestering me to do so. Apparently annual medical exams are the mark of a truly responsible adult.

I was 16

At the age of 15. Before this, my mother and I went to the gynecologist.

I was 18 and at college.

I had a couple exams before. My mother toook me to my fist and I asked her not to come in the exam room. I went myself for the second.

I made my first gyn exam appointment for myself at the college health center when I was 19. That was for my second gyn exam. My mom had scheduled my first one for me at 17.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit it but I always try to avoid making appointements myself on the phone, as I'm kind of shy. So many of my appointments were made by my mom or I made them myself right there after the previous examination.

My first appointment was when I was 17, but my mom made that one for me. The first time I made one was when I was 19 and went to college health services hoping to get on the pill.

Until I graduated from law school my mom made my and my sister’s appointment every year for when we’d be home on winter break starting my freshman year of college. After I started working I finally had my own insurance and found my own gyno in the city I was living in at that time (not the city where I grew up which was where my first gyno was). But until then, my mom would make the appointment and we’d all go (and have separate exams) and then we’d usually do something nice like lunch or a movie

I booked my first gynecological exam, and I did it on my own at 18.

I was 17, and about to go to college. I wanted birth control because I was pretty sure I'd be having sex when /I left home. Also I had been reading a lot about pelvic exams and really wanted to experience it to satisfy my own curiosity. I did it and just a few days later, mom suggested I'd better get examined before I left home. I told her, 'It's OK mom, I've already done it'. I was so proud of myself.
