thanks for the reply 🙂 honestly, the thought of going to the OB-GYN is just so awkward... I literally just turned 17, but still, ugh. I guess if I go with my boyfriend it might make things feel a little less weird...
also, I have another question. Back in middle school, I had the school doctor and gynecologist there, and now that I'm in high school, I have a new school doctor, but can I actually keep seeing the gynecologist from my old school? Since he’s at the same health center where my regular doctor is, it would be super convenient to hit both in one trip. And seriously, there's no way my mom could find out about those pills, right?

Sorry for just jumping right into this thread, but I actually have a question—well, more like a bit of a dilemma 🙄I’m 17, and my boyfriend and I have been together for about a year now, so we’re planning on starting having sex. Naturally, we want to be responsible and use both birth control pills and condoms, but I know you need a prescription from a gynecologist for the pills, right? The thing is, I can’t really talk to my mom about this because we aren't exactly close, and there are a few other unimportant reasons why it would be awkward. So, can I just go to the doctor by myself, and will this show up on my medical records in a way that my mom could find out?
