I just ended up picking a birth control method i wanted such as being on the pill, or getting a shot. If thats what your going to the gyno for they'll definetly ask you what method you want to go about taking. If they do a pelvic exam. They stick kinda like a probe up your vagina. Then they look at your ovaries and such to make sure that nothing is wrong with them or you dont have any cysts. Its a big uncomfortable but i found if you squeeze your toes and try to focus on something else its not as bad. Good luck :) [ GwinnCheer2006's advice column | Ask GwinnCheer2006 A Question ]

A lot of practices will mail you a long as hell questionnaire about your medical history, symptoms, personal information, employment, school - everything. Or, they'll hand it to you at your appointment. Fill it out thoroughly.
Then, they'll ask you a series of questions and go over your questionnaire. They may also record your weight, height, do a sample urine test, and check your blood pressure.
So you'll be admitted into the room to discuss results. If you are 21 and un-sexually active, or sexually active, they'll tell you to do a papsmear. These things put a lot of pressure against your vagina, but it's quick. They will get a sample, and tell you your results within a week or two.
If no papsmear, they will discuss about your health and talk about any changes or medications you may have to take.
