Nervous about pelvic exam

So I have been having really irregular periods, like spotting every two weeks and not even really a period once a month. I have been super stressed out so that might have a factor in it. I’ve never had a Pap smear before, I’ve never really had a women’s visit before. I do feel like something is up with my hormones and I know I need to get it checked out, especially that I decided I do want to have children in the future if I am able too. I’m not sure what’s gonna happen and I’m scared.

I set an appointment with an OBGYN for next week, I asked for a Pap smear and women’s health screening as well as lab work because I want to see if anything is up with my hormone levels. You guys I am PETRIFIED. I guess I am just looking for reassurance so that I won’t cave and cancel my visit out of fear. Does anyone have any advice?
