Yeah it will be awkward. Your best bet is just to wait to have sex. You'll just up regretting it anyway.... Or you could get in a worse situation then just regret.

You will need to have a regular exam by a gynecologist. This will include you filling out medical history forms and discussing this will the Dr or nurse. You will also need to take a pregnancy test in the office. They will take your blood pressure, temp, and weigh you. Then you will go into the exam room where you will have a PAP smear done. During this you will be laying back with a sheet over your legs and the Dr will take a sample (using something similar to a cotton swab) of the inside of your vagina as well as looking at your cervix to make sure all is healthy. After this (or before) your Dr will discuss different types of birth control pills, and you (together) will decide which is best for you. This is based on your weight, lifestyle, and your periods. The exam is a little uncomfortable, but not painful. Providing everything comes back clean, you will only need to have this done once a year.
1. First they'll ask you a bunch of questions, weigh you, and test your blood pressure, iron level, and blood sugar. They only take a finger prick of blood. During the actual physical exam, you'll have to take off your panties and get on a table under a sheet with your feet in the stirrups. They'll ask you more questions during the examination. The exam itself is very quick. They'll exam your breasts to check for any lumps, then feel around your genitals to do the same. Next they insert a speculum to look inside your vagina, and use a long q-tip to take some swabs of your cervical cells. This checks for cervical cancer as well as some STDs.





2. Not really. Of course, going to the doctor for anything can be awkward, but look at it this way: They look at vaginas all day. Yours is no different from anyone else's. Just pretend they're examining your feet or something. That wouldn't be awkward, would it?





3. You have to go back in three months to have your weight and blood pressure checked again, and they'll ask how you're doing on the pills. At this time they won't do another physical exam (unless something's wrong.) Then you go back a year after the first appointment, and you have to have another physical exam. Sexually active women (or women on birth control) have to have a pelvic exam once a year. After age 40 women also have to have a mammogram once a year.
1. You have to fill out paper work. They ask how many partners you've had, and STD's, past pregnancy, etc. Then they do a urine pregnancy test. Then they will bring you in a room to do the pap-smear. When you get dressed, they will come in the room with a bag of birth-control and condoms. They will discuss everything you need to know.


2. The first time is always awkward, but the more you go the more comfortable it is.


3. To keep getting birth control, you have to do an annual pap-smear. No pap-smear, no birth control. It is just to keep your health in check.
1. i have been on and off the pill a couple of times. i don't remember if there is an exact exam you go through. basically i go for a pelvic exam/ pap test that they recommend you do once a year. while you are there, you can ask the doctor about putting you on the pill. they will ask you questions to see what pill would be best for you. then they write you a script and send you on your way. you can get your prescription refilled once a month, or get a bunch at a time and stash them at your house.





2. as for the exam being awkward, they are doctors. they have seen, felt and heard everything. they talk to you throughout your checkup and tell you what they are doing and what they are checking for.





3. like i said before, you should go for a checkup every year. you can renew your prescription then.





on another note, you can also get birth control from planned parenthood locations.. although i never have done it before so you will have to do some more research or make a couple phone calls.
pretty easy.. not awkward at all! you talk to the doctor, they ask questions about your menstrual system, if you've had pregnancies before, ever had an abortion, etc. you get the pills the same day, usually they give you one years supply. so to answer ur last question, in another year u will have 2 come back lol good luck. i used BC pills since i was 15 but the shot worked better!
I didn't get an exam done to get birth control... The doctor just prescribed it.


But if you are talking about a routine pap smear, it's only a little awkward and it's over quickly, and yes you have to get one every year.
Usually, you go in and they take a urine test.. Then they do a pap smear...





It's not too awkward, atleast not unless you are really shy..





And yes, usually you have to do this once a year
nothing. they just ask questions.


although no exam its a little awkward. (although i am 13....)


yeah i have to go back after 3 months in it.
pap smear


yes


yes, once a year





it depends on where youre going probably. like to the doctor or planned parenthood or wherever.
