Gynecologist.
15/f
I'm sexually active, so I think it would be a good idea for me to start going to the gynecologist. The thing is, my mom won't let me go on birth control because of the possibilities of blood clots when I get older, and it would be a huge mistake if I told her I'm sexually active. How could I get her to let me go to the gyno? I really think it would be in my best interest, and good for my health. Also, I have a regular period, so I can't use that as an excuse, and she knows I do. However, I do have a very long period, (8-10 days) but she does too so it's just hereditary to her. I also tend to get horrible cramps, that make me not able/not want to move. I really don't know how to get her to let me go. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Actually, I find it very interesting that you're sexually active at age 15, but whatever. Yeah, I do agree that it'll probably end in chaos if you tell your mom. Unless your mom doesn't know, you should go to a gyno when you turn around 15 or 16. I think. It's good for your health, to make sure you don't get any problems..er..down there. Just tell her that. Most gynos will ask you if you want your mom there or not so you can ask your gyno if your mom could just not be there and talk to her(gyno) about it and what she thinks you should do.

I can't really tell you how to lie (cause that would just be immoral) but if you do have really bad cramps that might be reason enough if you explain that to your mom.
I will point out that although being on the pill makes it easier when sexually active (you don't have to worry about getting pregnant) the pill won't protect you from STD's. So being on the pill or not, it's still a good idea to use proper protection. Everyone thinks it won't happen to them, or their safe until further down the line find out because of one little mistake they won't live to a ripe old age. It's not really worth it.
I apologise if I sound like I am giving you a lecture, that's not my intention. I say everything I have said from experience and what I have seen happen to close friends.
