How do I go to the gyno without my parents knowing?

Question

This is so stupid. I'm 20 years old and I'm living with my parents until the Fall. Even if I'm not living with them, I'm still under their insurance so they know when I go to the doctor.
Anyway, it's time for me to see a gynecologist. I've been sexually active for several years, so it's just time. The problem is, my parents don't know I've been sexually active (it's an unspoken rule in our home that you don't have sex until marriage).
What do I do? How can I see a gyno without my parents knowing? Or what do I say to my parents so they won't be suspicious when I tell them I need to see one?
I know you're probably thinking "just tell your parents that you're sexually active", but it's not that easy. I don't want to tell them, and they certainly don't want to hear it.

Answer

I was always told you by my doctors you were supposed to start going to the gyno at 18 even if you haven't had sex just to be sure everything is ok and healthy

Answer

You are supposed to go in for your first woman's check up at sixteen...sexually active or not. There are many more reasons to see a gynecologist than being sexually active

Answer

If they don't believe the whole "just going for a regular check up" thing tell them you think you have a yeast infection. Itching/burning and discharge. Women get those without being sexually active. I'm sure your mom would understand and not question it.

Answer

My sister is 22 and not sexually active and still goes in for check ups. Just tell them you're doing your regular check ups to make sure you are nice and healthy.

Answer

Go in. Your parents wont know. The bill will say how much, but not why. 
If you have to, say your cramping has gotten horrible during your period.
You are an adult though, so you can do as you please, but I understand. I was with my bf for 2yrs and they had no idea we were having sex until I was pregnant.

Answer

Your 20 if you haven't been to a gyno, I went first time after my first period you need to go. Do you have your own healthcard?

Answer

How would they know you went? Insurance sends any invoices/etc in your name once you're an adult. In addition to that, they no longer allow the policy holder to see your claims/etc because you are no longer a minor, and it's against the law for any of that medical info to be openly available to anyone but the person who made the claim. Once i turned 18, i was still on my parent's insurance, but if I went to the doctor and insurance mailed us a paper stating what they paid out, it came in my name. Same deal when my husband & I were on the same insurance. He was the policy holder, but i couldn't see any of his stuff from my online acct and he couldn't see any of mine. Anytime i went to the doctor, insurance claims papers were mailed in my name only. When he went to the doctor they got mailed in his name only. And as we all know, it's a crime to open someone else's mail. So unless your parents open your mail, none of this is an issue.

They won't know you went to a doctor or even if they see an envelope in the mail, they won't know what it's for. Just go. You're fine.

Answer

At 20 you should have already seen the gyno anyways, you don't need to be having sex for something to go wrong up there. 
Tell them it's just for a yearly pap exam.

Answer

You can tell them you did a check up like allwomen should do, they dont have to know your sexualy active and if you dont give them permision they cant just call in ask ask your dr, even if theure are the insurers and if they call the inserence compny they cant get any info there are laws in place and if you dont want them to know your drs or nurses cant tell them.
