so I have a doctors aptm next week to see if I can get birth control i am not yet sexually active but think that birth control would be a good idea i have heard that it helps keep ur period regular (sometimes there are 48 days between mine, other times 17...) as well as reduces acne. but my mom is worried about possible side effects. I am just wondering what the doctor will say or ask during the aptm. I am honestly a little nervous because this is a new doctor and obviously a private subject... any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks :)
Update: i have heard that if you are not sexually active they don't allow you on the pill, is that true? 9 months ago
Update: Thanks for all the answers posted :) my aptm was on tues and my doc put me on yasmin. the aptm was really low key and I felt comfortable the whole time
8 months ago
no that not true! a ton of my friends are on the pill they not sexually active and probably won't be for a long time I can't remember what I was asked but it was not anything personal. a lot of people take it to regular there period ,help with acne or help lighten there period if its really heavy. they just wanna know if you on anything else that could effect it really. I'm sure the doc will be quite willing to put you on the pill if its that irregular. different pills effect people in different ways. I was on triphasal and it made me so moody and depressed where as it has had the opposite effect on my friend and now iv changed to Yasmin and I'm fine but another friend of mine had to change because it made her so weepy.
Don't be nervous. he won't be checking you in any delightful places. he may check your blood pressure etc but that's all. and then the questions will most likely be medical.
First Off, You Shouldn't Lie About ANy Questions Your Gyno Asks. That's Looking For Trouble. Second, Since Your Not Sexually Active You Probably Won't Have To Have A Pap Smear. But Those Aren't As Bad As Everyone Says. Third, I'm On Yaz. I Absolutely Love It. I Used To Have Really Weird Periods Too Like That And It Regulated Them And It Helps With Cramps. Also, I Broke Out The First Couple Weeks I Started It, But Now My Acne Is Gone. Its Really Not As Bad As It Seems It Would Be To Talk ABout. I Mean It Is A Doctor, It's Strictly Business. =]]
I didn't have any sypmptoms at all when I got put on. The doctor asked me if I was sexually active and just normal questions like that. But they won't for sure give you a pap smear, I didn't get one. The doctor said since I wasnt sexually active and we were mostly getting it for my periods cuase I got really bad cramps. But they won't for sure give you one. I was nervous to but the doctor asked me if I wanted my mom to leave the room to talk so yours might you never know and the doc won't tell your mom anything if you have her leave.
well first off, you don't want to lie about if you're sexually active or not. They will for sure do a pap smear (not as bad as it may seem), and I've only been on birth control for 4 months and didn't have ANY symptoms except I broke out for the first couple months, but now my face is clear. But at any rate the symptoms should go away after the 3rd month.
They'll ask if you're on any other meds, if you're allergic to anything, why you want it, and if you're sexually active (I had to to lie about that last one to him but it really didn't matter) He'll probably discuss some alternatives and then give you a prescription and tell you that any negative or weird affects will be ironed out by month 3 (if not he'll assign you a new one)
Nobody loves them, but everyone uses them when they have to. Lies can be as useful, as much as they can be hurtful. And how about those creative ones that when you hear, make you think how awful your...

There's a commonly shared belief that condoms alter and distract from the pleasurable sensations of sex. Although this statement retains a shred of truth, can we really afford to put safety on the...
