yes you can go to the gyno if your under 18 without a parent if its at a planned parenthood patient confidentiality. But if you don't want her to know don't use her insurance
your first visit varies on if you have a job or if your a student, if you have no job it probably will be $20 for the pap , if you want to go on birth control it preb. will be $10 a month

You can go to planned parenthood for free without a parent. You can also ask your pediatrician for a referral to a gyn, but it will show as a visit on your parents insurance plan. Since you are a minor, the doctor will probably also inform your parents.
Why not go with your parent? If you think your mom will believe you are going to get birth control (which you probably are, right?) why not share this with her? Make an appointment at Planned Parenthood and tell them you'd like to bring your mother along for counseling because you'd like birth control, but she probably won't approve.
It is never a good idea to do things behind your parents backs. They support you. Sneakiness is a slap in the face. If your parents don't approve of premarital sex (and I don't know any who do) it would be best to respect their wishes while you live in their household.
Sex is overrated. Sex without love is pointless. At your age you may have feelings and strong emotions, but trust me it isn't love. You are asking for trouble. Respect your parents. Respect yourself. Put off sex until you are married or grown enough to move out of your parents house and support yourself and any mistakes you might make.

You can go by yourself and you can make your own appointment.
That's what I do. Ask your gynecologist the next time you go with your mom. I'm pretty sure you mom don't stay in the examination room with you. So ask him/her then. Or just ask your mom. Or your friends (if they go alone). Maybe one of your friends could ask for you. If you're under your moms insurance then she'll know that you went. But she won't know what you told the doctor unless it's a really serious problem. If you don't have anything to hide....then just go with your mom.

you could try planned figure hood, they from time to time do it. any opposite direction could be to have your mothers and fathers signal a form to allow you to donate blood. they are going to do a screening for some std's and mail you a form back which will say your blood form and no matter if you had any of the diseases they reveal screen for more effective or less a week when you donate. Edit: Nitram, your reaction makes no experience. have you ever donated blood? There could be no mendacity to the screener. they have under no circumstances requested me something about my sexual practices or companions. And if in some way they neglected a sickness contained in the screening procedure (distinctly not likely) that may be the blood banks situation. There are thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of persons accessible which have diseases and performance no clue that they have them, and that i'm confident fairly a number of them have tried to donate blood. that is why they thoroughly try your blood in the previous sending it out to the clinical institution. What in case you do get screened and they miss it and then the blood monetary corporation also misses it? i imagine you're likely more effective likely to be struck with the help of lightening. relax, there is no longer something irresponsible about donating blood and saving some lives.

No, you dont have to go with your parents, and the doctor CAN NOT tell them if you dont want them to know. They will get a statement from the insurance though, so if you dont want them to know it would be better to go to the health department. They will not tell you parents and it wont cost you anything.

You can go on your own. Just be sure to mention to the doctor that you would like a confidential consultation.

yes you need to go with your mom...But there are some clinics that may help you. Pick up the phone and call the family planning clinics, ask them your Question.

Yes. Why do you need to go to the doctor? You probably had sex and caught an std or are pregnant... Be responsible and talk to your mother and she will take you...
