A member asked:

How can i ask an obgyn for a certain birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth control: Doctor -patient relationship should be collaborative. Tell your doctor what you are interested in using, allow him/her to discuss the pros/cons, and together decide on what you will use
