When was your first Gynecology Exam?

I was 17, i needed BC

I was 21 and about to be married. I needed birth control because we were still university students. It was not a big deal - in and out really fast. I've had many exams since. Three years later we had fertility issues and had lots of testing for that.

My GF (now wife) was 18 when she had her first pelvic exam. I was bursting at the seams for her to give me a play-by-play when she got back. No such luck; she was trying hard to forget.

I had been examined for having abnormal periods at first. It was just a manual exam. But my first fun visit wasn't probably until I was 16. I was absolutely a virgin. Mom had told me that I had a doctors appointment and she would be picking me up from school early. It was almost tennis season, I just assumed that I was going to go get my sports physical. We had talked about it going before practice one day and I could have sworn that this was it. But we pulled up at a new building.

The look on my face must have said it all. I read the sign near the door. Gynecologist! Me! No!!!!! She had asked me to go several times before but I had always talked her out of the appointment. There was no talking my way out of this. She walked in with me. I just wanted to cry. I felt faint. I had heard some girls talk about going to the gyn and how awful it was. I was sooo nervous. Waiting in the waiting room sucked. Mom filled in my application of new patient, and she asked me all of these what I thought back then were dirty questions and in front of all the other ladies.

We were finally called back and I had to change into the gown and give a urine sample. I hated sitting there in a gown while mom was still dressed. She had this apologetic look on her face.

The doc came in. It was my mom's gyn. Sooo weird. The breast exam was dreadfully slow. His hands were so cold. But at the se time didn't want him to move on because I knew what came next. Well it came. I was repulsed when his hands touched me for the first time. I was so upset and nervous that I actually gagged. There were defiantly tears and maneuvers made to try to escape as the speculum was inserted. I was so embarrassed that it hurt. I wanted to take it like a champ, I just couldn't. I thought I would die when he put a finger on my bum and told me what was about to happen. Why would he need to look in there. Serious ouch! I defiantly walked funny leaving the office. And the nurse at the check out could tell that I had been crying and said that it wouldn't be so bad next time.

I was 18 years old. Mom thought it was time haha

I think when i was 18 and started my sexual life my mom told me that we should go the doctor to see if everything was alright

I was 15 when I was first examined. I had missed a period and went to the dr. Im not sure why but he examined me by putting two fingers inside me.

I was 18. I wanted to go on the pill.

I was 17 to get on the pill.

My first exam was unusual -- I was 15 and had been raped. The exam took place in an ER and involved a rape kit. The doctor was not at all sympathetic, he was very "get this job done" and, honestly, pretty rough with me. I was already in pain from the attack and the exam was extremely painful. The next day I had to see another doctor for a followup STD cautionary treatment and he found a tear that needed three stitches. The ER doctor had also seen it, I found out during the trial, but he felt it was not severe enough to be more than an "initial hymen tear". Ridiculous.

Wow, blueflowerrisin, I'm so sorry that happened to you, and that the ER doctor was so insensitive.

Has anyone ever been forced to get an exam? I had a friend and we were just talking normal girl talk. She told me that when she was 14 her mother took her to the family doctor to get her on the pill. She was still a virgin at the time. She said she had no clue at the time what was about to happen. She had been going to this doctor all her life so she trusted him. She told me everything was normal except she was told to take her panties off as well and put on the gown. Her mother was in there along with a nurse. Once the doctor walked in he checked her heart, lungs and breasts. Then he had her scoot down to the end of the table and put her feet in the stirrups. She thought he was just going to look. But the next thing she felt was a fast hard pain. She said she screamed and started crying. Her mother and the nurse were holding her. After a couple of minutes it was over. When she got off the table there was blood so she knew then something was torn or cut. She said the next time she went she begged her mother not to go. All she could think about was the pain the first time. But she said the second time there was no pain or anything. I would think that would put a bad memory in my mind forever. But with her it had just the opposite effect. She still did not have sex for another two years but tried inserting anything she thought would feel good. She was from another state so when she moved in with me she needed a new Gyn. So I took her to mine. She was not short on jokes at the office. She was like ya'll want me to get naked right? She had everyone laughing. She likes med play and a lot of other things. Like I said once before I was 17 and not a virgin the first time I went and I knew what was going to happen. I just cannot imagine not knowing and having it done.

Sounds like it was a not such a good mom, and for sure not a Doc with proper beside manor, I think that it is best for a girls first time to be with a female doc you can relate to her and have some compassion.

I was 16 when I had my first gyno exa, but I can't say that I "liked" it very much. I guess it's more like a love-hate thing for me when it comes to that special subject.

I remember when I was with my girlfriend and she told me to meet her after her appointment from the gyno. I remember her telling me that she was just stretched to the gills. It put a whole new meaning to the phrase.

I was 15 when I had my first exam. The school nurse said I should go because I was the only one in my class who had not had her period. I was scared at first but was OK after finding that I was just a late bloomer. It was not uncomfortable either, from what I remember, probably because I had already played at inserting things inside me some years earlier.

Im 19 and I still haven't had one yet. My doctor said not until I am 21 does it become necessary mainly because I am not sexually active

Pink247,

You are missing out, at least in my opinion... I had my first when I started my period, as it was really painful and my physician wanted to see what may be causing it. My GP I had growing up was VERY old fashioned. He started full pelvics on his patients at age 16 and a minimum of a bimanual when his patients started their menses and gave a bimanual every year up to the age 16 unless he felt he needed to give a full pelvic.

How old fashioned was he? He still advocated house calls if he felt they were needed, he delivered the babies of his patients unless they wanted an OB/GYN or needed one, he did minor surgeries in his office, his wife was his only nurse and her sister ran the front of his office. My neighbor and her family also were his patients. My neighbor said his office was like this when she was a child. She is my Moms age. He was never rushed, took care of his patients as he felt they needed, not dictated by insurance companies. He wrote off of countless charges as a result. He was very thorough and methodical. May he RIP. I miss him.

I had my first exam when I was 16

I was 18 and wanted to get birth control, so I made my first appointment then. I was really nervous back then, though I've heard from others how it is. I first had to talk to the doctor (a male!) and then he first examined my breasts. Afterwards, I had to get up the gyno chair and put my feet in the stirrups. It was a weird feeling, because I had never been so on display before... but after all, it was ok. He checked everything and gave me a pelvic. I was a bit afraid of the speculum (looked so big) und in the end it turned out to be fine. I go back every year now, just for a checkup... I have never gotten a bimanual exam though, wonder how that feels...

17 when I wanted BC for the first time

I had my first "exam" when I was 13 and my menstrual cycle had started. But it was no more than small talk.

For my first real exam I was 16 years old.

I was 16. My mother caught me fooling around with my boyfriend, and assumed we were already having sex (we were not). She forced me to have the exam. I did pretty much everything to get out of it, but was unable to. The worst part was having my mom in the room with me, and the pain of the speculum, as I still had a hymen. Unfortunately for me, the gynecologist also performed a bimanual exam, including rectal exam. I didn't learn until much later that most doctors don't do this with every exam, or with young patients. I don't think my mother believed I was a virgin, but thankfully, the gynecologist mentioned the existence of my hymen a few times. That helped, later, at home, when I was being yelled at for being so promiscuous. I think this experience, largely, informed my fetish. Unfortuantely it was a bad experience, so it's hard to say why I'm able to derive pleasure out of it now.

I had my first gyn exam when I was 16.

From a gynaecologist was when I was like 18...but I had more invasive exams from young age at regular doctor.

Oh yes, the first one is very special. It can feel like the worst at that moment with being nervous or embarrassed or the slight discomfort during some parts. I hated mine the first time, but have come to enjoy the experience immensely. And looking back, it is now the one I think about most often and that is always sure to excite me.

My first was at 14. Admittedly it wasn't that great in my mind, not because of the doctor, but because I was having it because I was pregnant. It was just a rough time in my life. He was very kind and patient with me though.

I was 20 and nervous as hell!

I was 19 for my first exam. My practitioner was a male. 33 for my first one with a female.

I had irregular menses from the onset of puberty, and they decided to put me on birth control to regulate stuff. That led to the necessity of a pelvic exam and PAP smear... at 14 years old.
