I need help i am going on birth control but idk what all they do to u before they give you the pill ?

Question

im getting on the pill september 4th and i heard that if you never had s*x before they dont do a paps test they just give you the pill and leave is that true

Answer 1

It kind of depends on the doctor, but a lot of doctors do a pap smear before giving you the pill.  I was 19 and had never been sexually active when I went on the pill.  I still had to have a complete pelvic exam and pap smear.  You could call the doctor's office and ask them if you have to have a pap smear before getting the BC pills if you are worried about it.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I wasn't  sexual active when i went on the pill but i had a pap smear so i guess it all depends on where u go and what they do  Call the place where u r going and ask what will all be done if that will help ease your mind a little

Answer 3

Most doctors recommend a pap smear at age 21, unless, like you said, you are sexually active.  If you are sexually active there are lots of STDs that don't have symptoms and you may not know you have them.  

When you start the pill be very careful to take the pill at the same time of day. Put them next to your toothbrush and take the pill right before bed.  That should get you in the habit.  

Answer 4

I doubt it.  They usually always want an exam whether or not you have had s*x yet.  

Answer 5

Depends on where you go.. If you go to planned parenthood you can get 3 months of pills with no exam. If you are sexually active they ill probably give you a pap smear...

hope this helps...  

Answer 6

No, I don't think that is true.  You will more than likely be given a full physical.  Doctors need to make sure your body is able to take the pill.  As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure no matter what you are doing to prevent pregnancy and std's, you still need a physical.

Here's the deal kiddo....if you are old enough to go on the pill, you are old enough to get the physical that goes along with it.
