First Trip to the Gyn Today! Got BC

So, I finally went to the Gyn for my exam and to get BC. I went into the little room and had to wait what seemed like forever, but then he came in and everything was fine. We actually ended up talking about my regular GP Dr, because they were best friends in Md Sch. He told me some funny stories and gave me some advice and whatnot.

He decided to put me on Yasmin 28, so hopefully that will help with the irregularities, and now I feel more safe and comfortable having the BCs. I called my mom to tell her about my trip there, since I went alone, and if anyone remembers, I have a sort-of wack-o mom that is overprotective. I thought she was going to flip her lid when I told her what he decided to put me on, but you know, she will just have to get over it. It's mostly for medical reasons anyways...

He told me that in this day and age, for a parent to expect their kids to not be sexually curious/active is unreasonable and can't be expected, which made me laugh because she thinks that anything I do is very bad. It was just nice to see that I had an adult that was on MY side, someone who understands that you can't expect perfection all the time, and if one chooses to have sex, that at least they should have the option to be protected.

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know about my little trip. I wouldn't want to do it every day, but you know, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, especially having a male Dr, but he was very nice and professional, except when he was joking with me.

sounds like a good trip and some good advice....it's hard to find a good dr that you're comfortable with sometimes (especially an OB/GYN)--((HUGS))
