Usually they will give you other options besides the pills, i.E nuvaring, patch, shot, etc... Do a pap, find out family history such as b/p problems, kidney disease, heart disease, etc... But usually no blood tests. Good luck.

I doubt they would give a blood test.. They just need to know everything like how the person above me said, and ask questions if you smoke blah blah stuff like that just mostly alot of questions

They will do a pap though. If you feel more comfortable and don't want parents to know or whatever the case may be you can find a planned parenthood (if in your area) and they can keep it confidential.
