Birth control
When my friend first started her birth control her doctor checked everything to make sure all her baby making stuff was okay and in the right shape?
Mine didn't she just handed it to me?
Should I have gotten a full scan on my "stuff" to see if I am okay before starting?
Is it normal not to have a checkups on that stuff before going on birth control?

The first time I was put on birth control pills, I wasn't checked either. I was given several sample packs to see how they would work out and how my body would react to them. You will have to go to the doctor in one year for a pap smear. At that time, they will check everything to see how the pills are working, and check with you regarding side effects such as nausea, headache, weight gain/loss, anxiety, depression, skin breakouts, period breakthroughs etc. If you aren't expereincing any of these symptoms then it's all good.
Dr's don't normally do checks before giving birth controls pills unless there's a reason for prescribing them differing from prevention. Some people are given birth conrol to help control menustration flow, abnormal periods, and cramps. Now, if that's the reason of a Dr. suggesting birth control, then Yes, you would have to be checked.
Hope this helps....

All doctors have a different way of consulting with their patients. Some doctors like to investigate more then others.
I didn't have a check up or anything when I got my birth control. The doctor did however give me a detailed speech on what happens if I miss a pill and the pill doesn't work when your on antibiotic etc...
If your worried about it, go back and see your doctor and ask them to check you out. Other wise if you feel comfortable with the birth control your on, you've got nothing to worry about.
Hope I helped :)
