-- Posted by marmar2301 at 6:23 pm on July 11, 2008 Does anyone know if you have to get a pap smear before you can get birth control pills? I saw a yaz commercial and that pill is supposed to help your mood and your skin. I've kinda always wanted to ask about it b/c my cycle is irregular. I talked to my mom about possibly getting birth control and she scheduled an appt. with my pediatrician. I just don't want a doctor to have to look "down there." Can I just tell them it looks normal? -- Posted by yayamonkeys at 6:24 pm on July 11, 2008 i dont think that the doctor should hve ne reason to look down there...but i can b worng -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 6:24 pm on July 11, 2008 No, you don't have to, but it's still a good idea to get the female check up just to make sure everything is all right down there. -- Posted by LostInTheClouds at 6:31 pm on July 11, 2008 If you are a virgin, then they won't make you do one to get put on birth control. When I got put on it, they would have needed to do one IF I would have been sexually active. -- Posted by KendallMoc at 6:33 pm on July 11, 2008 No, you don't. I'm on them. You can just ask about them with your doctor. No big deal. -- Posted by xBeautifulTragedyx at 6:40 pm on July 11, 2008 You don't have to. =]
