How did you utilize Planned Parenthood resources?

Question

How was your experience? Do you still use them or do you prefer seeing your doctor?

Answer

I've used PP for everything women's health related. Including STD screening cancer screening, annual exam, birth control, counceling, education.

Answer

I use them for everything!  Family planning, pregnancy confirmation, pregnancy prevention, yearly exams..etc.. it's very convenient with my work schedule so I don't need to schedule time off. And I was able to use them in high school when I was younger and didn't need my parents permission.

Answer

I used them in college when I didn't have insurance. Went for my annual exam, got birth control, later on used them for std testing and even pregnancy confirmation. They are extremely convenient  (as they had late hours and were open on weekends). Great resource for women, especially without insurance.

Answer

PP is an amazing organization. I have full healthcare, but I still sought them out one day, I traveled halfway across the world and had forgotten to bring my birth control pills. I have really awful periods without hormonal birth control, and would be starting soon. So I went to them. They saw me within 15 mins, no appointment, and were SO nice and friendly and non-judgemental. They put me at ease, got me my birth control in no time at all, AND I didn't have to pay a dime. Not for the appointment or the birth control. While I was there, I saw a girl about to get her first Pap, and the nurses were the sweetest people ever, reassuring her and overall being exactly what you want from a health clinic.

It's for this reason I donate a chunk of my paycheck to PP every month. They do amazing, wonderful things for women across the country.

Answer

I didn't vote because I've used them for avoiding pregnancy (birth control) ANDY for reusable mentrual products.

Answer

PP does a lot more than just what is listed in your poll options. Why are you asking? From your previous posts, it seems like you are doing research beyond personal curiosity. Is this for school or work?

Answer

I used PP up until I was 30 and finally landed a job that provided insurance. I used it for annual exams, std screening (any guy had to have std testing at pp before we got busy too), and overall education/counseling. I hate that people forget all of the good this organization offers. They really are soooo much more than their reputation. I have taken many friends to pp too for std testing. I am a strong proponent of checking partners for stds and yourself after every relationship.

Answer

All of the above when I was younger and didn't have good health insurance.
