the pill
Hi,
I'm thinking about going on the Pill. What is actually involved? When you go to the doctor what do they do? Do you have to get tested and stuff? I've heard something about you have to get your blood pressure taken - what's that? Do you have to get an injection? Sorry I'm asking so much but I'm a bit worried coz I obviously haven't done this before. I'd appreciate advice from someone who's actually gone or is on the Pill and had experience. Thanks in advance!

ok what the doctors do is if you are getting on the pill they give you a prgnancy test just in case and they take your blood the worst part is they give you a pap smear
a pap smear is where the doctor girl or boy well take a tube and insert it inside you you know what im talking about then he/she will take a big Q Tip and stick it throght he tube and swab you down there this is to see if you have any desises or if everything is going well then they talk to you about the pill the one that is right for you so yeah thats it
I hope I helped

It's really quite painless.
They may take your blood pressure, but it's nothing scary! They'll just put a cuff around your arm, inflate it and measure your blood pressure, because if you have really high blood pressure the Pill can be dangerous.
You don't have to have an injection... there is a form of birth control that is an injection, called Depo Provera, but it's a totally separate thing (actually, it's what I'm on now).
The doctor will talk to you about the Pill and its side effects, tell you how to take it, and give you a prescription. That's all!
Good luck.
