When I first went on them my mom came with me (I asked her to), so the questions weren't that embarassing really! One or two were a little awkward, but that's all. I've seen all sorts of doctors and nurses about the pill now, and they're all fab about it. I cause problems because I have a touch of the ol' White Coat Symdrome, where my blood pressure and heart rate go through the roof when I go into the GP's room, but I'm so used to it now that I just ask for them to do my blood pressure last. It's kinda helpful having to go back every six months, nice to know my blood pressure and weight are being watched so other problems could be spotted!
