Any thoughts before my visit as to what this could be? Not really. There are many causes for what you describe. >Do I have reason to be concerned? Not particularly. Unless the bleeding becomes so heavy that you are weak, pale or dizzy, you probably can wait until March to see the gyn doc. >2. Should I wait until March, or get in sooner? If you are anemic (a GP can check this for you) then you should be seen sooner. >3. Any suggestions to make my first gyn visit tolerable? (I'm more than a little apprehensive!) Be calm and relaxed. Prepare your questions and concerns in writing in advance. Be sure you first meet the doctor while you are fully clothed. There should be a nurse in the exam room when you are examined, regardless of the gender of the physician. -- Don Shuwarger, M.D. obdoc@inmind.com Next message: MaryJ: "4 week appointment after miscarriage" Previous message: Don Shuwarger, M.D.: "Re: question" In reply to: Terri: "Period Concerns"
