Thank you so muchOriginally Posted by NoahsMommy
It depends on if she has health insurance. If she does, but its under her parent's name, they would be recieving something in the mail, and thus, would know she went to a doctor. So, if she doesn't want them to know, using her health insurance may not be an option. If it IS OK with her parents (as in, they wont give her a hard time about going to a GYN), she needs to look for a Gyn. She can look up local GYNs on her health insurance website...or call a local hospital for a referral.
Like caseysmom said, we have Planned Parenthood here in CA where she can get an exam (Pap Smear) and a prescription for birth control pills. She can look online or call information on the telephone for a Planned Parenthood near her. Planned Parenthood is low-cost or free, depending on her situation.
If she's going to become active, she needs to protect herself from STDs as well. Birth Control pills will prevent pregnancy, but she needs to be sure to also use a condom to protect herself. She needs to be smart, STDs can cause cancer in women....it is VERY dangerous and VERY serious that she protect herself. I work in the medical field and have worked in OB/GYN - this happens so frequently, you have no idea. PLEASE pass along this life/death information to her, OK??
I think its really nice that she has you to give her advice and support. Thanks for being such a great friend to someone in need. That's really nice!
Shes very strict about condoms, & I told her that SHE needs to make sure its on him properly. So its always best if she gets into the habit of her putting it on him as a fun/kinky thing to do. She said that has worked out very well, as he is non the wiser that she is actually making 100% sure its on him properly! She also knows that the pre-cum (as I know it) can carry live sperm & STDs. She knows the dangers of Oral/anal, but she refuses to do that 100%.. But I made her listen to me anyways JUST incase she felt like experimenting down the road.
She wants to always use Condoms & has no interest in telling the guy she is on birth control, as she doesn't want him thinking he can go bareback. All she wants is to educate herself, protect herself, & to avoid all risks to the best she can.
Shes lucky I had an AWESOME dad!! As weird as it sounds, he made darn sure I was educated, smart & prepared... He bought all sorts of books to learn how to deal with a teen age daughter as a single father & how to deal with a sexually active one at that.. Needless to say he was Awesome & bought me everything I needed to stay safe & not to feel embarrassed.. even my padsTo this day when I visit he asks if I need him to buy my pads for me... Hes the #1 dad out there
