great idea to get on the pill, and the exam is not that bad, sure it sucks and it is really uncomfortable but its something we have to do. basically they use this thing that they put inside you to open your vagina so they can look inside, using a light they look and usually put two fingers in to feel for anything that shouldnt be there, they will take a swab and a smear. It doesnt hurt just feels uncomfortable to have some stranger poking around down there... all part of growing up

I am 24 now but used planned parenthood for several years when I was about 17. They are great! Very private, gets it done quickly and it is your choice who you tell about it. At PP you do a urine analysis then a breast exam that takes about 1 minute or less. Last is the abdominal exam. At PP all the docs are female. They put this cup thing in you then a large q- tip looking thing. There is a small pressure by your bladder but nothing bad. Two fingers later then its done. All this in less time than it took me to type this. Then you are good for one year and they give you one years worth of pills or whatever. If you do the shot you go back every three months. All costing bout 50 bucks total. Good luck!
