-- Posted by Italianlnm at 9:11 am on July 2, 2009 When you went to get your bc the first time did they give you a full exam? Or did you just tell them and they gave it to you? I was asking, because I have been curious as to what a doctor would do when a teen came to them and told him they wanted bc. -- Posted by Magneto at 9:13 am on July 2, 2009 Depends on Doc. -- Posted by carbonara at 9:13 am on July 2, 2009 They just took my blood pressure and weight. -- Posted by pclueless92 at 9:14 am on July 2, 2009 My mom asked my doctor out of the blue and they jut wrote me a perscription -- Posted by Troll1000 at 9:14 am on July 2, 2009 blood pressure and weight then gave me the perscription -- Posted by Italianlnm at 9:15 am on July 2, 2009 WoW. I thought they would give a full on exam. That is strange. Okay. Thanks to those who are answering. -- Posted by NakedSun at 9:16 am on July 2, 2009 When you hit 18 you should be going in for a full phsycial. Or earlier if you're sexual active. But for Birth Control they might just right you a perscription. that's what my doctor did. -- Posted by Paper Dolls at 9:16 am on July 2, 2009 Quote: from Troll1000 at 9:14 am on July 2, 2009 blood pressure and weight then gave me the perscription Same -- Posted by Chiefette at 1:20 pm on July 2, 2009 With many insurances if you have already had a physical for that year they are unable to give you another so you cannot get a full exam sometimes.  The doctor I work for will talk with them and get basic vitals and write the rx.   -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:57 pm on July 2, 2009 I asked for birth control, and I didn't have to get a full exam. I was already going to the doctor, and I was supposed to have a PAP done in June, because I was sexually active. -- Posted by Chava at 3:53 pm on July 2, 2009 They gave it to me after I had Enrique and wrote me a script after Chase. Before Enrique I got my blood pressure andweight taken. -- Posted by Italianlnm at 3:59 pm on July 2, 2009 So they didn't do any exam on you? They just went ahead and wrote it? -- Posted by Chiefette at 4:19 pm on July 2, 2009 What you have to realize is that many teens don't get their BC from the GYN.  Many tend to get it from a Pediatrician and the Ped. rarely does a pelvic exam and it is not necessary.   -- Posted by Italianlnm at 4:47 pm on July 2, 2009 Pelvic Exam? Oh. When you say that Cheif it does seem to make more sense. -- Posted by Anonymous at 8:10 pm on July 2, 2009 Yeah, I just got mine from my pediatrician. If you are sexually active, though, they should at least make you an appointment for a PAP smear.
