Doctors can also give gyno exams, I know this because my regular doctor use to give me mine and perscribe my birth control! Of course this being said no bc pill should be prescribed without a pap exam first (they have small utensils for non-active patients)! I now see an OB/GYN by personal preference!Originally Posted by KarmasMom
WHo did you get the prescription from? As far as I know only a gynecologist can give you a prescription for birth control. And yes at 16 you really should get one and get a base line pap smear done. Monitor the situation. A lot of it could just be your age. I am sure you know at your age hormones fluctuate about as much as the wind blows. As long as you don't have any abnormal pain with it, just keep an eye on it. Write it all on a calender. Take it with yo u when you see a gynecologist. It will be much easier for them to see what is going on. Talk to your mom or who ever you feel comfortable talking with about these things. Tell them you need a gynecologist and would like to discuss differant options. Also tell them about the break through bleeding, thats what your doctor will call it to.
Good luck and PM me if you need to. I just delt with all of this, its not fun but I am willing to help you out if you want.
