Miss Honey,
I'm so happy for you that you have made this appointment. It sounds like you have made leaps and bounds of progress! Good for you!I'm glad you got referrals from trusted people about an OB/GYN who they like. I think that's very helpful. I did that when I moved a few years ago, and I love my doc! She's great. If yours is anything like mine, she will be glad to ease your fears, even if that means talking to your T. Sure, logistically it could be rough. But maybe they can set a time when they are both free to talk.
And you probably know this, but your OB/GYN should meet with you in her office prior to the exam. If this is not their routine, ASK for it! It really helps to meet her when you are both dressed and in equal positions. You can talk to her about your fears then, not when you are already in a vulnerable feeling position.
Good luck. This is a big step. Good for you!
