I used to have very painful periods, and so when I started seeing the OBGYN I told her this. She suggested that I start birth control, and she literally told me, "because you're taking this for your periods, it won't stop you from getting pregnant." I was 14 at the time, so at first I didn't know better but eventually got wise. When I told my mother, she made excuses for her such as "she knows my morals," etc. I said it doesn't matter bc I'm her patient. I also didn't care for her bedside manner. As soon as I could, I switched providors. I wish I had done more,such as making a formal complaint.
