Seeing your doctor for the first time - what to expect
Whenever you see your doctor or nurse, your visit is treated with the utmost confidentiality. Everything that you discuss is kept private between the two of you. You can also ask to see a female, if you would prefer to. . He/she can help you to choose which contraceptive option is right for you. Remember, it may be your first time, so you may feel embarrassed at first, but doctors and nurses have been in this situation many time before.
To help decide what contraceptive method is best for you, he/she will ask you questions about your health, your lifestyle, and sexual partner history. They may also have some helpful leaflets to provide additional, useful information.
If you would prefer not to see your regular doctor, there are clinics set up specifically to assist with contraception, often known as family planning clinics or sexual health clinics.
