Last physical
Gyn appt/pap test etc
Dental visit
Last breast exam / or for the older ladies mamogram
Eye exam

Please be honest. I just had my most recent physical on Tuesday and I was ashamed to say, I probably had one 3 yrs ago. I go to the gyn quite often, I was there in March. Now that hubby and I are TTC, I have made an appt for next month to make sure all is going well.

My last dental visit was in July. I will make an appt tomorrow, for an eye exam sometime this month.

We pay for health insurance but we do not utilize it. I am having the hardest time getting my husband to go to the dr. He cannot tell the last time he has been to the dr. I do not like that at all. I am so tired of nagging him. is anyone else going thru this with their hubby???

Do you know how to check your own breast, do you know what lumps if any are normal??

I want to know what is going on with you all that is why I am asking.

Re: WHEN WAS YOUR

shamma I really baby my husband when it comes to the dr. He has history fo a lot of heart problems in his family. I found that choosing the same primary care physician helped. I go to the dr. frequently (underactive thyroid that needs monitoring), so I have built up a good relationship with our dr. So she'll say...I haven't seen Chris and he's 31 now right?...I'd like him to come in for a stress test, etc. I make a tentatvie appt. and then tell him...oh by the way, Dr. opened up some time on Tuesday for a quick test, can I call to confirm that? This usually works ...don't ask me why. I have pulled this same wool over his eyes at least a million times. But he does it!

I am a certified worry wart. I am great with the gyno - go for my yearly, do my breast checks (of course now I go once a month) - dentist 2x a year, eye doctor yearly and general practitioner is yearly appt and every 3 months for thyroid test!
