Possibly a silly question

I've always had my annual gynecological appointment with my PCP. Now that my husband and I are thinking about TTC I'm not really sure when I should make an appointment with an OBGYN. Should I see one before we start trying or just stick with my primary until we start trying? As a bit of a back story I get very anxious about going to the doctor and I'm very comfortable with my primary. Thanks in advance.

You don't need to see an OBGYN until you actually get pregnant. Depending on your insurance, you might want to meet with a few ahead of time to see who might be a good fit for you. Remember, you can always change doctors if the first OBGYN doesn't work for you.

Do you think you'll be even MORE anxious if you wait until you are pregnant to pick an OBGYN?  For me, I know I need to feel comfortable BEFORE I get PG so I'm switching now.

This. I plan on finding one before getting pregnant so then if I end up not liking them, I may still have time to switch before I'm super far along.

I stuck with my PCP then switched to an obgyn when pregnant. I actually switched mid pregnancy too because our insurance changed. It worked out because I loved the second obgyne to much more. I am also an anxious patient as well.
