Depending on where you live and what type of health plan you have, the birth control prices differ but are usually not that expensive. The doctor will first ask you why you are deciding to go on birth control and will usually recommend a pap test before perscribing the birth control pill. The doctor should not lecture you, but the doctor will explain the side effects and what happens if you miss a pill etc. The doctor will also tell you that the pill does not protect against STD's.

If you want to go on the pill, you will more than likely get a pelvic exam and possibly a breast exam. A blood test is not required.. and what you call ';lecturing'; is just the doctor going over the basic stuff about taking the pill and he/she may even talk to you about other forms of birth control you may be interested in. It's not that expensive either.. mine were $30 or $40.
depending on your healthcare, you may be covered for it, your doctor will prolly give you a pap test (nothing to be worried about, you need it anyways) check you for breast lumps depending on your age and family history (bc slightly raises breast cancer risk) and take your blood pressure (not where they stick a needle in, the one where they put the cuff around your arm for a minute) you'll prolly get a 3 month sample to start out on
Your doctor will discuss your birth control options (pill, ring, patch etc) and decide what would be best for you. Then usually they will give you a pap smear to screen you for cancer and check your general health down there. Usually docs won't give you a bc prescription unless you have a pap. And thats it. With insurance it doesn't get too expensive. $15/mo.
Before any doctor puts you on birth control they should do a pap smear. They won't lecture you or do blood tests. Depending on the type you want it can be cheap or expensive.
Just ask your doctor and they'll prescribe you a brand. I didn't have any tests or questions or anything. It cost me about $15 a month.
