Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Hey there !
The nurse might be concerned about clotting problems in your legs.
A simple venous Doppler will rule that out.
You can get that done.
And yes, your OB - GYN would order that if she suspects it.
Dont worry, just relax.
It is good to see your OB - GYN on a priority basis, but relax.
Let me know what she says.
Personally I do not think there is a problem with blood circulation, but no harm in getting tests done.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
She might have taken a vaginal swab.
Do you have excessive / abnormal discharge ?
It might be taken to rule out a vaginal infection.
Yes, it could be a nerve related problem ( vulvodynia is one such diagnosis ).
What anti depressant has been exactly prescribed ?
