I have made a New Patient Appointment at a Family Planning Clinic for Friday, as I want to go on the pill. Does anyone know what will happen at this appointment? What sorts of questions will they ask? Thanks for any advice!

e.g has anyone had a blood clot in your family? do you smoke? has anone in your family got diabetes?
things like that
also they are likely to weigh you or/and check your blood pressure
hope this helps x
In my experience, going to the family planning is not embarrassing or awkward and the people are nice, friendly and put you at ease.
None of that happened to me at my doctors. He asked if i smoked i said no,he said that it;s not a good idea too while on the pill, so i said that was fine because i don't and then he took my blood pressure and told me if not in a stable relationship it is best to still use condoms because of std's and stuff.
So less embaressing than i thought, this was 4 years ago, and now i only have to see him once a year for the anula blood pressure check and he put the pill on repeat prescription so i just ring the che,ist every 3 months :thumb:
history. and what you want.
