Nervious, pelvic exam

I'm getting really nervious right now, I have a pelvic exam scheduled for tomorrow and I'm starting to freak out. I've had my first done last year, I was super nervious but it was over before I knew it. But that still doesn't help calming me down. :(

I also want to add, I felt like I was getting a yeast infection, so I put just tiny bit of antifungal cream on the outside....I read that you shouldn't use much, but it's too late now. :( I doubt any got inside, I also then used water to wash the tiny bit of cream off. Argh not my day!

Any advice? Thanks!

Breathe deep! It will be over (again) before you know it and in another year or two you'll be an old pro. ;) Relax your pelvic muscles, let your knees fall open, keep breathing, and if your doctor wants to start up a conversation, keep talking to keep your mind off what he's doing. Talk about anything!

You might let your doctor know about the cream too--just in case it might affect the results. And for future reference, sometimes yeast infections will go away by themselves! If you're not absolutely positive, it won't hurt to wait and see. And if you've got an infection, that's something your doctor can take care of today!

Good luck...
