Question Posted Thursday September 7 2006, 2:32 am
So I'm thinking of going on birth control.
Because my cramps are horrible and my period is a bit too long.
But.. what do they do?
I was told they also have a breast exam thing too?
Does it hurt when they use the speculum?
Just thinking about this.. makes me sick [dizzy]
Is that bad?

Plus you DONT have to have an exam done. Alot of my friends are on the pill & they didnt have to do it, But if u get the pills with the purple case then u do have to go in for a pap smear (spelling?) anyways if you go on the pill called osytricalin (spelling again?) its in a circle tan case you don't have to do anything like that but go to the drug store once every month to pick up a new case. Thats it. Just ask your doctor anything because s/he will answer your questions honestly and will be happy to answer them for you, you can always turn to a friend for answers if u think they may know or just come back to me cuz i know alot about birth control pills. I sure hope that helped if you want more information just let me know!! Don't worry you'll be fine! [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

The procedure does not take long and is uncomfortable but doesn't hurt.
