    no they wont refuse you, they have girls as young as 13 going in there. and i think they will give you a choice of time and you can choose depending on whats convieniant.
    And why dnt you just go in on a day when its the walk in clinic?

    one thing they wont do is refuse you. They arent bothered about age there they just want to make sure your ok etc. I think apt's are your choice, they ask you like whens best for you.

    I got asked questins bout drug use, drinking, smoking and then cus I went abouta problem (thankfully all in the mind!) i got asked quite yukky q's bout discharge-yep just after dinner.

    But the nurse made me feel at ease and I've been lots of times-i find the whole thing tons better than my GP and much more effiecient. I think they do a great job.

    And don't worry too much-honest they've seen it all before and alot worse! And they know the patients feel uncomfortable so try to make you feel better.

    Be prepared and talk to your chap and i guarantee it will be fine. You're really doing thebest thing by going-shows you're a responsible couple despite age differences!
