I anyone else as nervous as I am about seeing a gynecologist?

I haven't seen one in about 7 years because I am embarrassed of my weight and afraid of what the Dr. might say. Has anyone felt this way? I have to go because I have a period that doesn't go away. I am really nervous and embarrassed and worried that I would be her fattest patient yet and then worried about the office staff and what they might be thinking "omg how can she have the guts to come here" I don't but I have no choice...it's either that or keep wondering why the hell I still have my period for almost a year. Some tell me it's because I'm overweight, others say it could be something far more serious. My appointment is today. Should I go. Or should I be too embarrassed to go? Please someone tell me their experience with this situation? I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!!
