My boyfriend and I were talking, and we think we are ready to have sex, but we agreed that we have to have condoms and I need birth control, but neither of us really learned about it, so we had some questions.
1. To get it, I would need to go to a doctor right?
2. Do I have to bring my mom with me?
3. At the doctor's office, do I have to be a regular patient? because both of my parents work at a hospital, and I really don't want them to find out.
4. About how much does it cost?
5. Would it be a gynecologist that I have to see?

Thanks so much for helping!! (link)
1 & 5. Yes, you have to see a doctor (gynecologist).
2. No, you don't need a parent.
3. No
4. Tell your doctor if you are concerned about the price. It can be anywhere from $9 to 14. Mine is a generic brand that costs $9 at Wal-Mart.

What you need to do is find a planned parenthood or women's clinic. It's much more friendlier and you'll feel more comfortable than if you went to your regular doctor's office. You don't have to be a certain age, and they're very exclusive when it comes to privacy. They deal with this all time. They also do a really good job with answering your questions, giving you pamphlets and informing you of everything you need to know.
