I'm going to the gyno for the first time next week. I'm hoping to get birth control thanks to my insane periods.
When they ask if I'm sexually active- I don't know what to say. I've participated in mutual masturbation and oral. Does that count? Do I specify and say "Yes, I've done oral." Or simply say "Yes," and leave it at that?
Any advice on going for the first time or what to expect? Thanks guys, er well girls I guess lol!
Tells them pretty much everything they need to know. Be honest, its a doctor, they aren't asking to judge you, they're asking because the more they know the better equipped they are to help. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

I think when they ask that question, though, it's most concerning vaginal sex. But, just to be on the safe side, be specific.
