Planned Parenthood And Gynos Posted: 05-25-05 19:07pm
When someone goes to planned parenthood,
do they need to take a blood test to get
birth control?
Would they need to take a blood test at a
gyno for birth control?
What exactly are the procedures?

They ask you questions like are you having
any problems or concerns. You can get a
pap smear if needed and they use a cotton
swab for and std test you let them know
what birth control you want and they ask
for a donation towards your service and
they send you on your way. Hopefully you
don't hear from them like I did that
something was up with a pap smear. Good
luck
ps a ton of forms to fill out and a long
wait

So no blood test? I will even pay for
them to give it to me, I just don't like
needles... Thank you for your reply...

The first time I went I had to have blood
work done but my family has a history of
blood clots...So they had to check and
make sure my blood was okay...Plus they
will probably ask you if you want to have
an hiv/aids test and those are done by
blood. I don't think it's mandatory.
Usually though it is mandatory for them to
do a pelvic exam though...Nothing horrible
just a little uncomfortable.
But other than that I don't think you have
to worry about them taking blood..
