First off I need to double and triple up on what batter and SiN said. If she's ready for sex, then she should go to the doc.

I had a friend in high school who was having sex and was terrified to go to the doctor because of the exam... 9 months down the road and quite a few prenatal doctor's visits later she had a doctor staring at her while she pushed a kid into the world. Isn't that a nice image?

The reason that women go to the doctor is to make sure they don't have irregular cells on their cervix as well as other things that involve the reproductive system. They need to be clear before they start birth control so that if something strange does come up, you know it was the medicine not anything else. Aside from that fact doctors help decide what perscription of medication would be best for her such as a lo-hormone, the patch, the pill, the shot... ect. There are hundreds of different kinds of medications all with their own side effects. Not to mention that perscription sharing is majorly ILLEGAL as well as unsafe when your girlfriend does not know all of the information about the drug that she is taking.

The visit isn't as bad as she thinks. Offer to go with her, or have another one of her friends go if she's scared. It's more than likely going to be 10 minutes, and definately not the worst 10 minutes of her life.

Step up here. If she's not willing to take herself and her body seriously medically, shouldn't you?
