First: WELCOME TO PIXIES!! I'm sure you'll like it here .

Second: There is no such thing as a stupid question! Gain as much knowledge as you can in all areas of your life. And know as much as you can about your body and take care of it. Sounds corny but you only get one and it's gotta last another 70 or 80 years!! With that in mind I agree with those who posted regarding condoms and safe sex. And weather you decide to go on the pill or not, I also agree that you should have a complete exam. You may feel more comfortable with a lady gyn. The exam is not all that bad. Just think of something happy and let your mind drift. lol.

Good luck!!
I look forward to 'meeting' you on the board.
