hi, you do not have to have any tests apart from have your blood pressure taken, the doctor may or may not ask you if you want on but if you dont just say no. i have been on the pill for 2 years (im 15) i havnt always been on ot for a contriceptive but i am now and the doctor hasnt once asked about any kinds of tests. just make a normal appointment and say you want to go on the pill, (if you really dont want the doc to ask you to go for smear test then say it for your periods) hope this helps :)

When you go to the doctor there gonna want to give you a pap smear.. Just because of the fact that they need to know what kinda birth control to give you... There gonna ask you lots of questions. Everyone makes pap smears sound so bad and nasty.. but honestly there really not that bad... you just feel pressure

You do not need to take a blood test. Having a pap smear is not necessary unless you've been sexually active for a long amount of time (but that could differ depending on your doctors practice). They will tell you about how it works, how to take it, and the risks of being on it. Then they will give you the pills and after you understand everything, you will be on your way!

I know plenty of doctors and you have to have a pap smear and pelvic exam before they will prescribe the pill.
Then you will have to have a yearly pelvic exam to have the prescription renewed.
If you have never had one, this site will explain it all to you. Lots of good info all over this site so take a look around while you are there. :)

It depends on what state or country you are from, and how old you are. Some state/country laws require that one or both parents must give consent for you to receive birth control if you are under a certain age, usually 18 or 16. I suggest calling up a health clinic such as Planned Parenthood and asking them about the laws for your area. If your area does not have any laws, you probably will not need a pap smear, but your doctor may recommend one. If you go to your primary care physician, or a clinic, the doctor/nurse practitioner will do a quick exam and ask questions about your health. If you go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood, they will probably give you lots of information about safe sex and even free condoms. Depending on your age and financial situation, PP may give you monthly birth control for free or no cost. I hope this helped.

It all depends on where you go and your reasons for wanting it. some doctors may want you to get the all clear from the gyno others do not. Before you go on birth control changes are they will check out your period and if its not reg they will try to determine why first
