I am going for my gyno visit this week. I'm a bit nervous about some things. I am 19 years old and am sexually active. My mother does not know this.... and would kill me if she knew. The only reason I am going is because I have a persistent yeast infection. Anyway they said I need to come in a half hour early to fill out paper work. Are they going to ask me about my sexual history in the paper work, because my mom will be with me and I can't write that down with her next to me....What should I do? And when they call me into the room will they make my mom leave if she follows me there? I want to be honest with the doctor I just can't let my mom know....
I don't remember this question being in the paper-work... I'm pretty sure every form I filled out concerned basic information like name/address/etc, insurance information, and they might ask you about your medical history or any medication that you are taking.
When you are called to go back... Just tell your mom that you would prefer to go alone. Really, this is not an unreasonable request. Going to the OBGYN is awkward and embarrassing the first time, and it's reasonable to assume that you wouldn't want a witness. Once you are alone with the nurse and the doctor, you can tell them the truth about your sexual history. To them, it is not a big deal. Not only that, they will not talk to your mom about anything you discuss... It's actually against the law to do so without your permission.
Don't sweat it. It'll be okay. ;)
