I was just wondering...should you refrain from sex the day before a gyno exam? Or is it okay? This is my first exam, and I'm a little nervous. thanks!!!

That's strictly your choice. I always have just because I wanted everything to be "normal" for the exam. Particularly if you're not using condoms....I wouldn't want any ejaculate there because it might throw off some tests.
There's certainly nothing to be nervous about. It's simple, it's fairly quick, and there's nothing remotely painful or uncomfortable about it. Make it a habit to get an annual exam. It's always good to have the doctor "know" you when you're "well"....so that if you ever have a problem, you'll be more comfortable talking to him/her.
