Most dr's will give you a prescription for BC, but you usually have to have a pap smear and pelvic exam before they will give it to you. There are quite a few female ob/gyn's, Mine is a female and I love her! I've never had such a great dr!

Your family doc can prescribe your Rx (prescription). You will probably need a check up before doing so. Yes, there are female ob/gyns in the country.

Most doctors will require that you have a pelvic exam and a normal pap smear before they prescribe you birth control. The best thing to do would be to see a gyn since they specialize in women's health.

Yes, there are female OB/GYN's in the US. Advise you check your insurance company website and search your area for this specialist.

When I first got put on birth control I saw my family dr. However they will want to give you a physical every year before they renew your perscription, but thats in your best interest.

many family physicians will do your gynecological exam for you and will therefore prescibe birth control. and there are many female ob/gyns out there.
