Every gyno I have ever had got all friendly with my booty. I thought it was normal.
You're siggy makes this statement a little creepy.
I have never had this happen to me. I guess I understand it and would be fine if they explained it and gave warning before doing it. But damn, if I went for an exam and had no forewarning to a finger in the ass I would have left freaked out thinking my doctor was some kind of sicko.
Don't put your finger up my butt without asking. Have some fucking manners.
Yes, she did warn me. I just remember her saying something like, "I need to check your anus (heh heh), it will be quick and feel like a small bowel movement." I was just like, "...okay."
haaa I just remembered on Friday, mh took the dog to the vet, and when they came home, she ran up to me on the couch for some pets/snuggles. I looked her in the eyes and said "Cindy, did they put things in your butt?" and she put her head down and walked away. lololol.

This actually happened for the first time recently at my post partum check. She warned me first, but you can't really warn someone enough. I actually said "Oh, HELLO there." Not my most dignified moment.
Plus, she was checking my front business at the same time, so I think it counts as The Shocker.
If they can tell that your uterus is in a normal position, many GYNs won't do the rectal. If your ute is all twisted around and funky, like mine was, you get the rectal every time.
I went to a gyn once who did the butt thing, and I was so shocked, I couldn't even say anything. No warning or anything. I never went back. If I have hemorrhoids, I'll figure that shit out on my own, thankyouverymuch.
This exact scenario happened to me once! It happened so fast and I was like, "Did she just....?" I, too, asked my next gyn about it. She thought it was unusual.

This happened to me once, which is one too many. It was an old guy, not my normal gyn. I was recommended to him b/c my ob said "there is no way you are pregnant, but something is wrong." So she sent me there. He did a normal exam and then without warning before hand he stuck it right in there. THEN said "oh, I'm going to be sticking my finger in your butt." No fucking shit man, you already did. I blame it on his age. He then sent me to another dr b/c he didn't know what was wrong, turns out I was pregnant and she doesn't stick her finger in my butt, so I stayed with her.
I also asked the new one why he did that, and she said most old school drs will.
my gyn did this once a few years ago. I told her there was a history of colon cancer in my family so she said she would do that check. I was afraid it was going to be an annual thing but it's never happened since.

I had a friend, and it happened to her.. she said it was with no warning. Apparently they check for that stuff, but its not really necessary unless you're like the age of 35 or over. Not sure why you got a finger up your butt.

I've generally had narrating OBs and midwives, so I have never been surprised by anything that happened down there. I don't remember if I've ever had an anal probe. This seems like something I should remember.
This is reminding me of the Friends episode where Joey asks if it's normal for the tailor to move your junk around while he's measuring you for pants and Ross says, "Yes, yes it is. In prison!"
When I went to the gynecologist the first time, my mom sat me down and told me, "she might put her finger up your butt. I don't know. They don't all do that."
I love my mom.
Hey LeggsBenedict: I can't tell you how many times you post something that I think Peggy from your siggy is laughing at what you just said. It always makes me laugh twice
