Appointment with RE

I have my first appointment today. Unfortunately, Nathan could not get off work to go with me, but one of my best friends is going. It may work out even better this was because we plan on going to JoAnn's afterward. I'm nervous about having a male doctor for this, because up until now all female issues have been discussed/looked at by females. The midwives group I use made the referral, and I trust them so I know it'll be okay. But still. I'm also nervous about what we may find out, but it's better to know and have a plan than to bumble around hoping something will change unassisted when that might not be the case. I know I won't get any answers today, but it's a big step I think.
