Is it normal that I’m 19 and I’ve never been to a gynecologist before?

[pink_and_inlove]

I’m going to one soon though for the first time to get birth control. I wonder when other girls first begin to get their checkups

Where are my women at 😭😭😭?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My cousin that my Mom ( late) was her guardian was age 14 and my Mom told her she better get on birth control cause my cousin was to the age of being sexually active so she agreed but my cousin still ended up with sexually transmitted disease so you can figure out what kind of person she was at that age, you can pick your friends but sorry I can't pick my relatives?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@pink_and_inlove It's a good idea that you are choosing to do

[ZackBan]

Doubt there's really a "normal" for that. You never needed one until now.

So did you tell your mother about the sex?

[pink_and_inlove]

No but I told her that I wanted to be on birth control she inisists on going inside with me which I find weird and embarrassing and I’m probably going to have to lie if she does

[ZackBan]

Look I think she either knows but is saving you the awkward talk or is waiting for you to say something.

No one gets birth control to eat spicy food it's there for a reason and if she's already ok with you getting it then she'll be ok with you having sex.

She shouldn't find ou through the doctor. Tell her youself feels like the right thing to do

[pink_and_inlove]

Doctors are not allowed to tell her it’s against the policy and they could get sued/ fired over here

[pink_and_inlove]

She doesn’t know I believe because I told her it’s for when I’m ready am she said that she didn’t agree with it and took weeks to answer me but she made an appointment

[ZackBan]

I think the weeks she took were the time she came to the realization that you'll be doing it anyway and chose to keep you safe.

Your mom is clearly not an easy person but there's no doubt she loves you.
I guess if you think she won't know then it's fine but she has to know sooner or later that her baby girl is no longer a baby

[Bella9191]

I’m 29 and I have never been. Although in my country you only need to go to a general doctor to get prescriptions for the pill and get a papsmear. You’d only really be referred to a gynaecologist if you had a serious problem.

[Warmapplecrumble]

Don't get birth control, you can use other methods that are much safer like ovulation method.

[TheLawAroundHere]

While i think its odd, i also think that; unfortunately; its common.

That snapper that you girls carry around with you has a medical specialty assigned to it. Thats not nothing.

Call and make an appointment. Even if you tell them that this would just be for a checkup. But then... here's the hard part... keep the appointment. Personal health should be of utmost importance.

[420Rachel]

I first started going when I got pregnant so nah. And the only times I went before that was when I would get uti's. So as long as you haven't been having anything abnormal going on you're perfectly fine. 😁 But it is good to get checkups.

[laPrincesitaRoxi]

I think you’re fine but it’s always good to go see them I never went to one until I was 17-18 because I was pregnant with my son lol

[COMMODOREII]

Of course its normal. Generally people usually focus on a general practitioner. But going to a specialist is a good idea if you want optimal health. 😎👍

[Sevenpointfive]

you have to let a strange old man finger you for a minute and then you're set

[hopegirly]

i have never been to gynecologist too so you are not alone haha but i dont know if it is normal

[Luckyman23]

Not too surprising especially if ur not sexually active. if u are though u should make a general check up appointment

[VIVANT]

I’ve never been. Don’t plan to go. Nope.

[VIVANT]

Don’t want anyone fingering me , unless I’m dating them.

[VIVANT]

You need other women to answer I’m sorry lol 😂🤦‍♀️

[Sevenpointfive]

i wonder if there's like a self-check test like they do for breasts, only for vaginas? why isn't this a thing?

[VIVANT]

@Sevenpointfive

Hmm I don't know if there is but prob will be in the future. Lol

[pink_and_inlove]

I just saw ur comment lol at first there were only threee men I hate when that happens

[Sevenpointfive]

old men have been doing this for years

[Sevenpointfive]

some degrees you have to wonder. why is this guy so interested in looking at pussy? it boggles my mind. but it would be the same for a lesbian doctor or bisexual, don't you think? i want a straight woman fingering me

[VIVANT]

@Sevenpointfive

😂😂 be sure to put that on your consent form at the drs office 🤓

[Anonymous]

I was around your age when i went for the first time too so your fine!:)

[Anonymous]

No that’s not that bad, it’s not like you’re in your late 20s

[VIVANT]

Why is it bad of you are on your late 20s?

[VIVANT]

In**

[Opinion Owner]

@VIVANT You might have issues you’re not aware of, it’s just part of good health like a physical

[VIVANT]

If I had issues there’d be symptoms though. Show up in discomfort or blood work. I get regular labs drawn 🧪

And I have other issues so I see drs a lot these days 😒 unfortunately

[Opinion Owner]

@VIVANT Yeah I guess, my daughters are 20 years old and have gone 2 times already

[mélancolie]

yea ofc it's normal, same here anyways

[TallAnon]

No idea, I've never been 😁😁

[pink_and_inlove]

[Anonymous]
