Talking to my GP.
About a week ago I asked a question about going on the pill and talking to my mom about it. Thank you for those who answered :)
Now, as I had planned to ask her during the weekend, she beat me to it and asked me if I would like to go on the pill. I am grateful she did, and now everything is sorted. I booked an appointment for next week.
The only thing is that my GP who I've been seeing for years is a male. He's young, which makes things more relaxed, however, I somehow have the feeling it might be awkward to ask him about the pill. I really wouldn't like to change my GP, since he knows me and everything.
I'm just wondering how I can relax and not be embarrassed about asking him and talking to him about my sexual activity and such...
Thanks!

Don't be embarrassed. I've had the same family physician since I was four... The conversations that I usually anticipated as being awkward and uncomfortable turned out not to be a big deal.
Just go in there and say, "Hey, I'm thinking of going on the pill, what do you think?" Then he'll ask you some questions and you'll answer honestly. Remember that this is his job, he's a professional, he's probably had this conversation more times than he can count... And he's probably past the point of being surprised. You're his client, a long-term client, and he just wants to do what's best for you.
