[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pregnancy test is most likely required by insurance.  [/quote]

It's also a best practice. Don't go on the pill if pregnant. I had to take one before my colonoscopy because I had had a period within the last year. It's just a best practice.

I'm not sure if you're concerned about the test (being inappropriate based on her lack of sexual experience) or the Rx for BCPs.

It’s not best practice. I have been on and off the pill many times and never had to take a pregnancy test. [/quote]

Teens are different than adults. She is a minor. A teen may be lying to their parents. It has happened.

So? Do teen girls need to be required to take pregnancy tests whenever a Dr says just in case? Again this is not like Accutane that causes birth defects. [/quote]

Which is why OP should ask why. [/quote]

It’s the standard of care and no doctor is going to hand over a scrip for the pill without a clearance pregnancy test. This is a medical liability issue. Sometimes girls aren’t honest with their parents, sometimes one of the parents or some other trusted adult is doing things they shouldn’t be to the girl and she is groomed and brainwashed not to speak of it. Just have her pee in the cup and be done with it. [/quote]
