going to the doctor after losing your virginity, i need advice/help. Options

[xo_rock]

okay, so me and my boyfriend are planning on having sex (i dont know if this topic is "innapropriate" but im sorry if it is.), and we have done "foreplay" and stuff before. I have my physical in august, and we are most likely gonna have sex before then.

Im nervous because my doctor asks every year "have you had sex", and i dont know how to answer it this year. My doctor knows & is kinda friends with my mom, and i dont want her knowing im having sex because she wants me to wait until im married, but im completely in love with my boyfriend now, and ive already thought it through.

what do i say to my doctor?
i know i probably shouldnt lie, because they need to know incase you get an STD, STI, or get pregnant, but i really do not want her telling my mom.
Should i tell my doctor i have (because i most likely will have sex before my physical)
and if so, what should i say to her?

[makeshiftwings]

if you're really that worried about your mom finding out, but you think you're ready, why don't you just wait until after the physical? what's the pressure to do it so soon?

and if it does happen before, you shouldn't lie to your doctor. you're going to get a physical, so they will find out anyway.

[xo_rock]

yeah so i really need someones advice.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Just tell your doctor the truth, and ask that he/she not tell your parents. Considering he/she is an experienced docter, he/she should have past experiences and will understand.

[_sarcastic_]

^agreed
just tell your doctor, she's going to find out one way or another. and she dosen't have to tell your mom if you don't want her to.

[juliar]

Yea, if you ask your doctor not to tell, your doctor shouldn't.

Unless you're uber-young, which you probably aren't.

[Looow]

You shouldn't lie. Doctors aren't supposed to tell your parents if you asked for it to be confidental. Unless its like something really big .. but I don't see why the doctor would say.

[xo_rock]

yeah im 15, so thats not too young to the point where they would tell my mom right?
but ill just ask for her not to tell anyone,
and if she does tell my mom cant i get her into trouble?

[aznxdreamer]

^ i dnoo...most teenagers that young THINK that they're in love but really, they're either just infuatuated or its lust. and i know how your feeling at teh moment because im 15 too and me and my bf are having the whole "should we have sex" dealio. if you do have sex, then just tell your doctor the truth, doctors usually dont tell parents if you dont want them too. but the best and safest way is just to not have sex at all.

[mylittleMiracle]

tell the doctor and tell her not to tell this to your parents,i think she will help you to keep this secret. between i think you have sex too early because you are only 15 and your mind arent mature enough.

[lilnatcat]

erm........... ^ditto!

ur onli 15.... thinking of having sex already?

well........ if u do have sex before the date of the session, u should tell ur doctor the truth AND ask her not to tell ur mum.......

i'm sure she won't tell considering as a patient, u have the right to keep things private and the doctor should respect ur decision and keep her mouth zipped about it.

coz if u tell her, she will know that u trust her. if u don't tell her and she finds out, its giving her the impression that u don't trust her...... so yea......

HOWEVER,
if u don't tell her, and she finds out..... which she most likely will since she's a doctor, she will tell ur mum..... think of it THAT way....

[starlette]

actually
even if you lie to the doctor
she'll know you had sex anyway..

so you my as well just tell her the truth..
and just ask her not to tell anyone..
although i do think if your parents ask then they do have to tell the truth..

LIES!!

Your doctor doesnt check to see if you hymen is in tact during a physical. I'm sorry. Have you ever had a physical? Its not a gynocologist exam, its just a physical. They do weight and height and blood pressure and crap. To be honest, I wouldn't say a word. Youre at the age where a doctor can use her discretion on wether to tell your parents and I didnt want my parents to know either and im 20 years old. Unless you think you might be pregnant or have a disease id be quiet. and if you think you do have one of those issues, go to planned parenthood. They will respect your privacy. Just try not to have sex the week of your physical just in case there is a little spermicide or something left and it winds up in your urine sample.

[xCrys]

^ I agree with what she says...

Though 15? Even though you say you love this guy, youre still way young! Heck it's illeg in some places (yeah, yeah, i know, who listens to rules anyway?) But thats not the point... I dunno I'm over protective of girls sometimes haha...

Plus, I'm uber close with my mom, if something like that happened, I'd tell her... We've got that kind of open relationship thing going on... But I'm no where near ready for sex w/ my bf and I'm 17... I dunno, I'm just one who wants to really really wait on the right time... Which knowing me, even though I'm not religious, will be after marriage... Uh, I'm getting too deep into myself aren't I?

Anyway, my opinion is just to wait really, if you love eachother, you can wait ...

[/rant]

But if you actually go through with it, tell your doctor... plus these three words come in handy : "Doctor - Patient Confidentiality" If she does tell your mom after that... Then you'll have some 'splainin to do... =x (and some trouble making for the doctor..)

[*This Confession*]

sorry
i read it wrong
and thought the wrong thing..
it was like 5 in the morning..
personally i would just keep my mouth shut
although i don't trust my parents at all really..
but i mean if you get that uncomfortable and nervous you can
always tell the doctor and ask her not to say anything..

also ehm you may want to question your relationship as well
make sure you two are ready.
talk about all the risks and stuff
and if your still ready then i can't stop ya.

Alright, your doctor doesn't need to know. KNowing whether your sexually active or not is just a way for the doctor to trouble shoot illness/sickness and rule out possible problems with your body. If you feel like the things you will say to the doctor are not going to be kept confidential then don't tell him...

One issue I see you facing is that you can't seem to talk to your parents about it. I'm just going to take what you said for face value, and say that it sounds like you don't want to tell your mom becuase your afraid of dissapionting her... I know that when I had sex I didn't want to tell my parents either. I thought they would be so dissapionted in me. I also thought they would punish me. The truth was that they didn't want me to have sex becuase they knew I would get hurt afterward. They were only trying to protect me. After all it's a parents job to protect their children. When i did tell them, they were nothing but loving and supportive. They really felt my pain because they had gone through the same thing as me when they were my age. Your parents are probobly telling you not to have sex becuase they are trying to protect you. I know I didn't see it they way when they told em not to have sex untl i was married.

The other issue i see here is you making a discision you will probobly regret. I personally recommend that you don't have sex. The truth is, you don't know whats going to happen in the future. Like you said, you're 15. You and your boyfriend and going to change alot before your relationship gets to the piont of marriage. Although it seems like things are easy now, and you both love eachother. You will go through more changes in your life in highschool and college than any other years in your life. You don't know if this relationship will last forever, and although you hope and have faith that it will.... do you really know for sure? Also, what will you be saving for your husband when you get married if this relationship doesn't work out. Don't you want to give the man that you truley love that special gift. You may last that long, but you should still wait until you do just to make sure.

I understand how had it is, after all... im not a virgin, but i do regret loosing my virginity... and thats why im telling you this stuff... message me if you got questions =]

[Smoogrish]

^ That's some really good advice.

Tell your doctor, and explain your situation. I suppose you could politely ask her not to tell your mom.

However, even if your mom might get horrendously mad at you, you should tell her. It's just not a good feeling to hide things, and like Uronacid said, you might regret having sex later, so really think it over beforehand.

[swimgirlarc]

Like uronacid said...
people change alot through highschool and college.
a lot.
i'm just 15, but i've seen people i've known, and it happens

you might change for the better and he might change for the worse or vice versa. Then you'll regret ever hoooking up with him.

Also if you do do it, be prepared for rumors around the school. So my advice would be if u end up doing it, make him swear on his grave he wont tell a soul or else there'll be some drama.
believe me...youll be labeled the class whore.
i know a few aquaintances like that.

so really really think about the future when you do this and not the present, because anything can happen btwn u two.

[*Uronacid*]

Also, before you say you love your boyfriend... ask yourself, what does love truely mean? You really can't describe love in and of itself. You can only describe what people do when they are in love. People who are in love do whats best for the people they love. Is your boyfreind having sex with you really whats best and is he thinking of all the possible outcomes? the risks and problems acossiated with sex at such a young age are extemely severe.

There are so many negative variables that can come out of having sex while in highschool or before you are married that it just doesn't make any sense to do so, and most of them arn't std's.

Wouldn't it mean more if you both saved yourselves. You both must realize that your relationship has the possibility of not lasting forever. Why would you want to have sex when the option to break up is still an option?

one last thing i would like to say, im not here to tell you that your boyfriend doesn't love you. In fact he may feel that he loves you. He may just not be looking at every possible outcome of the situation... love takes time, you need to learn how to meat someones needs before you can love someone. He may even feel that having sex with you may be loving you. I'm not even saying that sex doesn't feel good... in fact, sex feels frickin awsome... but the consequences of sex can be disasterous...

THAT IS HECKA TRUE!!! but yea really tho doctors wont know if you are a virgin or not because they jus ask you and that is it. then they do other tests to see if you are pregnant. but really tho if you are this scared about having sex and your mom knowing and having doubts then its a big sign that you are not ready yet. you are still very young and love is a concept that is confusing at times when you are 15 ( i know because i was there ) of course their is a lot of peer pressure about loving someone, todays ultimate sign of love means having sex with someone and that is totally untrue. You can love someone to death without having sex yet. Really take time to talk this over with your bf and think of the risk factors. if your bf really loves you he will understand and be patient. hope everything turns out okay

[mseryel2]

Just tell your doctor the truth, and ask that he/she not tell your parents. Considering he/she is an experienced docter, he/she should have past experiences and will understand.

i agree.

[sweetabandon]

To avoid telling the truth to the doctor, go get you and your boyfriend tested. That way you won't have to worry about the STD part. Problem is, if there is anything else that you may have gotten from having sex like say, Urinary tract infection, your doctor prolly won't do a test to find it.

Your best bet is to just tell the truth just so you know you're alright. Besides, the doctor will only tell your parents if you're pregnant because that's a serious issue for a minor to face.

But looking at the previous replies, why not wait? If you love your boyfriend and vise versa then that means you'll be together for a long time, right? You don't have to prove your love by having sex. Sex is not the ulimate step to take to show that you're in love.

I'm sorry but I just wish more girls would lose their virginities at a later age. I realize that this is your decision, but maybe a little waiting can't hurt.

[blah1234567]

when he asks the question just say yes. you dont have to look him in the face or anything..but just say yes lol. if you dont want it being said to your mom tell him you dont want anything said before the doctor leaves the room.

Woo! I was waiting for someone to say that. First of all, yes, a doctor isn't going to check. Also, if they were to check there really is no way to determine if you are a virgin or not. I mean yes they can see if the hymen is broken but that doesn't necesarrily mean you had sex. I say lie to the doctor, but only if you're sure nothing is wrong. But you do seem a little young so I'd think twice about having sex anyway. Good Lucky with your decision.

[hrhcrazy007]

Agree.

[timeflies51]

Well, think about it. If you ever got pregnant or an STI, you'd eventually have to say something anyway. I think that if you just get it over with now, your mom will get over it a lot easier than she would if she found out through you getting pregnant or an STI.

And yeah, a patient has confidentiality rights. If you don't want your doctor to tell your mom, then they won't. Same thing for psychologists. Heck, all doctors, in fact. (I mean, unless it's something really serious, of course.)
