  2. 1 Gynecological visits are MORE than just pelvic exams. When you imagine a visit to the gynecologist, you likely envision stirrups. Pelvic exams are important, and you should be getting pap smears once you are 21 years old to check for cervical cancer.

  3. 2 Periods fluctuate. That’s NORMAL! The average menstrual cycle lasts for 28 days, plus or minus a week. Your body, unlike your smart phone, does not have a calendar built into it. As such, your period’s start dates are not always equidistant. 

  4. 3 Birth control does MORE than just prevent pregnancies. The name “birth control” makes its purpose very clear! The contraceptive pill, condoms (male and female), diaphragms, cervical caps, intrauterine devices (IUD), contraceptive implants, spermicides, vaginal rings, contraceptive patches, and more are all options to prevent pregnancy.

  5. 4 Hormonal birth control has SIDE EFFECTS. • Some common side effects of the Pill are the following: • Spotting between periods • Nausea • Tender breasts • Headache • Weight gain • Mood change • Missed periods • Decreased libido
