Hey all,

I'm 24 and am going in for my annual. I also have some questions and concerns for the doc regarding my period and I really need a referral for a mammogram bc I have a thickening vein on my breast I want to get looked at. Normally I see a female NP, but this past time, I called and they just got me in the soonest they could (my BC script is out), and I didn't think to ask who or mention a preference. I get a text today to confirm and the name it gave is a more masculine name. This COULD be a last name, or a woman with a more masculine name (like mine!) So whatever

.

.I don't have a problem with the exam , it's a professional setting with a doc who knows what they're doing. I'm more so curious as to have the conversation I need to have will go in terms of period products, their comfort, pros and cons etc. My period is very light 98% of the time time, so wearing pads bas become a waste. I want to discuss tampons, cups, and reusable/cloth pads, I'm just not sure how that conversation will go from a perspective of someone who doesn't have personal experience.

. AGAIN. I'm OK with the exam, it's just that one conversation. Does anyone have a make GYN they really like/trust?
