Hi,
I was wondering if your allowed to not go to yearlies. Like is that a requirement? I really dont like people looking at my body. Not even my mom or sisters! Ive already gone once last year and I was very uncomfortable with my mom watching and my doctor feeling around and looking. And I most definitely do not want to go to a gynecologist. Is it possible to not go?
And yes I know they are important so my doctor can make sure everythings okay and how its supposed to be but I really,REALLY do not want to go.
It is important for you to go. I understand not wanting to though because I am the same way. You do absolutely have to go if and when you get on birth control pills. They won't refill your prescription if you don't. Until then, its up to you and your mom. Talk to her about it and see what she says. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Just tell her the truth, I don't feel comfortable with you in the room. There is nothing wrong with that. They are very important. Make sure you go. The first couple of times are a little weird but you will get use to it. That is their job. I didn't go untill I got pregnant think of how weird that was. So, go and everything will be ok!
