    either your GP or a family planning clinic.

    to be honest the doctors are easier because they're probably closer (if you're like me, I live in a tiny village and my nearest clinic is about 20 miles away). it's confidential and they won't tell your parents, even if you're underage.

    my appointment took about five minutes, no trouble <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Some surgeries will give you a repeat prescription but others will make you come in every three or six months to check your blood pressure and make sure you've not had any problems.

    It's advisable to go in and get checked up because things can go wrong and they may have to change your pill or take you off it if your health is affected.
