I'm 21. I've never Bern to a gyno or on birth control. I'm also a virgin. I'm ready to have sex with my boyfriend but how should I go about getting on birth control. I have blue cross blue shield health insurance. Should I make an appt with my regular doctor or do I need to find an obgyn. And if I do how should I find one and what should I expect?21 yr old virgin how to get on birth control/ see obgyn. Please help/advise?
1st of all i have blue cross to you can go to their website and get a list of drs in your area or you can ask your primary doctor to refer one then make an appointment they will do a pap smear blood work and ask lots of questions then they will give you a prescription for birth control if you don't want to wait you can go to planned parenthood or a clinic or ask your primary care doctor to prescribe the pill21 yr old virgin how to get on birth control/ see obgyn.

You could talk to women in your family or that you are friends with and see which obgyn they go to.


Make an appointment once you find an appropriate doctor.


The actual exam is not that bad, though they do typical tests for an annual: pap smear. This is important, anyways though, and you should do this even if you weren't going on birth control or becoming sexually active!


You could also go to a Planned Parenthood clinic.


I recommend the former.
You should expect to never have the chance to give your virginity to your husband! If most of us only knew then, what we know now! What I'd give to be in your shoes and have someone tell me to NOT do it! And for them to tell me in a way I could actually get it and make the right choice.


On the physical side... yes...planned parenthood is okay for the bare minimum physical sex ed you need, (but do you also know they support abortions and have a higher rate of abortions among minorities. I didn't know that! Recently found out.)


What planned parenthood will not tell you is that this will change your life forever and while you assume it will be in a good way, life doesn't always go as we hope it will.


Why are you ready to commit to sex and not commit to marriage? Sex is a bond that you make with a person that doesn't go away when the relationship ends. It creates baggage that you carry into your next relationship. No one wants to be having sex with someone wondering how they compare to who they had before. AND you never want to be in the situation of remembering someone else while you are having sex with the one you are married to! This is a big reason why many marriages fail these days... the baggage that we carry into marriage. Don't you want to keep the dream alive of finding the perfect lifelong mate? Sex in marriage can really get screwed up when you have to sort out all the past stuff that should never have happened. If he IS the one you WILL marry, then his ability to respect you enough to wait will also say that he is the kind of husband who will put your needs before his own. That is the kind of man you want.


For men, they have a physical need and after the conquest, things change. Sex to them does not carry all the emotional intimacy that it does for us women. A common mistake among women is assuming it does.


So do you believe that marriage is forever? These days too many people believe divorce is an option. If you also believe that divorce could be an option someday, than go ahead with sex now, cuz it won't matter anyway. You'll just be another statistic.


If you believe that when you get married someday that you WILL make it last forever, then WAIT and DON';T have sex NOW...stack all the cards in your favor and work to have a good marriage! That IS what lasts if you believe in it and find a man who believes in it! Then take your fiancee to the Ob/Gyn WITH you before the big day!


Wait till marriage and do it for your own best interest! You won't regret it, but if you go ahead now... you very likely WILL regret it at some point. There just aren't any married people who waited who regret that decision, and there are zillions of married people who didn't wait who DO regret it. Trust me on that!
