Just then the door opened and in stepped the doctor.
Jennifer looked at the doctor and wasn't sure if she should be happy or glad that the doctor was an older woman.
"I see you are here for your check-up. Any problems?"
'Lots.' Jennifer thought, but said, "No ma'am."
The doctor continued to ask simple questions as she examined Jennifer. She then asked, "Are you sexually active?"
"No." Said Jennifer a bit too fast as she blushed a bright red.
"Nothing to be ashamed about. I know we all hear about how it is the guys who are the only ones who crave sex. It isn't true. All teenager's bodies are awash with hormones and that large amount of hormone reduces a girl's desire to say no."
The doctor then continued. "I do not recommend you have sex, but I am a realist. The pressure from your girl friends and your boyfriend is very difficult to overcome. You have heard this before, but it does bare repeating."
"The best birth control is to abstain from sex. If you do have sex, then have your boyfriend use a condom, it will prevent most STD's. Additionally, it is a good idea for a girl to take birth control. Birth control comes in many different forms. There is the once a day pills, there is the once a week patch, and we just got in the once a year implant. All of these methods use hormones to fool your body that you are already pregnant so if you use the longer term methods you'll also likely see reduced or the absence of your menstration.
The government is pushing the a really strong version of the implant for teenage girls, so it is heavy subsidized. It cost less than three months of the pills or two months of the patch. Plus, most insurances will cover the full cost. What do you think?"
Jennifer was too embarrassed by the whole idea of having sex with a guy to do much more than mumble.
"Good." The doctor said. Then changing the subject, the doctor said, "Take off your panties and lay back on the table. I'll put your personal belongs on the shelf over here. "
Jennifer removed her panties, pulled her skirt up over her waist and lay upon the table.
"Put your feet in the stirrups, Jennifer." The doctor said. "I know that this is the least pleasant part of the examine. I go through it myself, even more so as I have a pap smear each year. Try and relax."
Jennifer tried to relax as the doctor examined her vagina. She tried even harder not to think about her vagina. She finally focused all of her attention on a poster on the wall, ignoring (most of) what the doctor was doing.
"Ouch!" Jennifer exclaimed. "That hurt."
"Sorry Jennifer. These sponsered implants do have a down side. With the dosage they pack, it is a bit big so it hurts a bit going in. You will be tender for a day or so, then you won't know it is there. Now the good news with an implant this strong is most patient get to skip their monthly visitor completely. Clearer skin is also very likely. The only likely downside is some swelling of the breasts. If that becomes an issue, please come back for an appointment to discuss other options.
You can get down and get dressed now."
Jennifer rapidly, and with less than lady-like skill, got off the table and pulled on her panties. She rubbed her right butt cheek as it was a bit tender. As she set up there was a thunk from the shelf where her purse was sitting. The doctor quickly walked over and picked up the fallen objects.
"Sorry about that, we really need to get bins in here. " the doctor explained. "I hope this wasn't too bad of an experience, I now how tramatic this must be at your age. Now everything looks good so we'll reschedule for a year from now. I wish you'll have fun this next year with your boyfriends and most importantly I wish you'll keep coming back each year and let me keep replacing that implant until you'll ready to be married and have kids. Anyway here's your purse and this must be your rock that fell out."
"Um, thanks - that's for class today" Jennifer stammered as she took the items. Had the doctor been holding that in her hand? Didn't she just say the word wish about something? Jennifer was still spaced about about the entire experience and hadn't really been listening.
"Any last questions about the implant?" ask the doctor.
Trying not to seem too spacy, Jennifer quickly thought back and asked "What side effects should I be expecting again? "
"You'll almost certainly see a great reduction or likely abscence of menstration, clear skin, some swelling of the breasts, and some women do report increases in libito and lubrication" the doctor patiently explained. "Do you have any concerns about those? "
Now bright red from the frank conversation, Jennifer said "No, no. With a list like that I wish I'd get to experience all of them! " The slight warmth from her hand made the color quickly drain from her face; when will she ever learn?
"Nothing to be embarished about, most women your age would feel the same. We are all done, Jennifer. You can wait outside while I finish up with Karyn next door, be sure to check out with, Helen, my receptionist as you two leave."
Jennifer was wreck waiting for Karyn, trying to remember what the doctor had been saying. Unfortuately all she could remember was that the implant would prevent her monthlies and cause her boobs to swell. How could she have been so foolish to make a wish herself?
