Female. I didn't realize I had a preference until I selected my current doctor. My first gynecologist was my mom's and she happened to be a woman. Then, I went to a family practice and was paired up with another. We clicked so I always scheduled with her. And when I moved recently I specifically sought out another woman.

I think it all depends on bedside manner. My Ob/Gyn in the city was a female and i loved her. Like I want to drive over an hour back to see her when I get pregnant. My RE was a male, and I was a little nervous about that, but he was also awesome, and I felt totally comfortable with him and even wished he could follow me throughout my pregnancy (but dont tell my ob/gyn that I kinda cheated on her )
In my new town, I had a male for my pregnancy and miscarriage. He. was. awful. Called my d&C a roto rooter. yeah....I'll be switching to the female doc in the practice.

Female OB, don't have a preference for GP. No logical reason, just feel more comfortable!

I prefer male.
loved my ob!

My preference is female, no question. I've never had a male OB/GYN and wouldn't be opposed to it if necessary. I guess I just figure a female OB/GYN has the same parts and would understand what I'm going through better.

I prefer female for obgyn. I would be ok with a male, though, I've just never had one.

I don't mind, I've nearly always had male doctor's though. The male gyno I had that put in my mirena pre-baby was the best patient care I've had, I was sad when he left the doctor practice!
