Hey there,
I'm not sure if you are based in Britain or the US so I'm going to givce you contact details of family planning services in both countries.
In Britain you can find your nearest Family planning or GUM clinic via a variety of different methods.
1) Look in the phone book under GUM clinic or family planning.
2)Ask your GP or local health centre, hospital, midwife or health visitor, advice centre, helplines, health authority or health board.
3)Call NHS Direct (0845 46 47).
4) Use the search option on one of the following sites - [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) or [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
I'm not too familiar with the American system but you can either use steps one and/or two above or you can take a look at the family planning website, [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
As for how the clinics work, this also depends a little bit on whether you live in Britain or America or some other country. It also depends on whether it is a drop in clinic or appointment only.
If you need an appointment then phone up in advance (most places provide a drop in service in emergencies), otherwise just show up. Try to get there relatively early on so as not to have to wait to long.
Go to the reception and give your name. If it's your first time then you will probably be given a form to fill in. You then wait until you are called for your appointment.
When you go in they'll check up on some aspects of your general health and ask you what you are there for and things will progress accordingly. If you have a specific question or problem then they will answer it for you. If you want condoms then they will talk a bit about safe sex and then give a lot of condoms and some leaflets in a 'discreet' brown paper bag. If you want to go on the pill then they'll discuss it with you and measure you blood pressure. You'll then be seen by a doctor who will prescribe the pills and give them to you in another 'discreet' paper bag, probably with a bunch of condoms and leaflets as well.
If you have more complicated questions then they will be happy to answer them. These people talk about sex and sexual health every day for their living. They are pretty much impossible to faze and there is no reason to feel embarrassed.
I hope that helped. Please get in touch again if you want more advice,
Hugs and balloons,
