But I still don't quite get that comment about "veterinary medicine"?? 😕 😕

I guess she was treated more like an animal than a person. Like, maybe because she studied vet med or something? Did I hit the mark there?😍

Nah, I'm not. I'm from this small town where there's just one private OB-GYN and one lady working out of a local clinic.

So basically, I can just show up at a regular OB-GYN, wait in line, and they'll call me in... and that's it? Because honestly, I really don't want to tell my family doctor all this stuff. It's not even because I'm embarrassed about being sexually active, 😍 it's more that I know him personally, and since I'm still a minor, things feel awkward. 🙄 So, I mean, can I just show up with my insurance card, hand it over, and wait my turn?🙄

Magical said:Your primary care physician has to give you the referral for the gynecologist, and if you want to speed things up, just ask that same doctor for a blood work referral right away.

But I can't really get anything done without a referral from my doctor since he's a family friend, and I really don't want my mom finding out. Plus, honestly, I'm kind of embarrassed to go to him for a referral.

I think we’ve probably covered this kind of topic before, maybe even a few times, but I’m not really looking for... well, look, I just want to finally go see a gynecologist. It’s about time, I guess.🙄 Not a private doctor though, but more like... the other kind.🙄 I want to go in and get on birth control pills... I've been sexually active for quite a while now.😍 But, I have some questions:
1. What exactly are they going to do to me?
2. So, do you get those with a prescription or what?
3. And, how much does it cost if it isn't at a private clinic?
