As maleficent said, be prepared and don't take no for an answer. When my ex went in for the first few times they did some tests, told her nothing was wrong and that everything would clear up by itself. BULLSHIT! I know it's sometimes hard to stand up for yourself when you're young, but this is unbelievably important to you, your health and your relationship.
#1 tip, get educated. As I said in my earlier post, most ob/gyns know fuck all about these kinds of problems. There's some chance that you'll have to educate your doctor. Buy that book. Hell, I'll buy it for you, just let me know where to send it. Start searching the web. There are other women out there with similar problems and help is available. You are not alone in this.
If I seem pissed about this, it's because I am. I'd hate to see anyone elses relationship go down the drain because of the ignorance of the medical community and people in general.
