I was fine with our entire trip, right up until the 8 doc visit. I am not prudish about the human body but I am modest. I'm sure it all has to do with the differences in our cultures and how Dr. visits are conducted. Obviousy the locals have to go thru the same thing I do when they see these same Dr's.
I did not like it at all. I cried when we returned to our hotel room and were by ourselves. My husband couldn't figure out why I was crying, its very uncharacteristic of me. When I finally spilled it, he was shocked. He said that he had no clue that anythign was wrong because I didn't show it. I just didn't want anything to slow up the process or have them think differently of me for any reason.
I'm more than willing to share my experience with those of you that have upcoming doc visits. I really don't mean to scare anyone...obviously I'm fine now. But had I known what to expect, it might have made it more easy for me to cope with at the moment. So, PM me if you want.
