Previously, I've gone to like Planned Parenthood or I've gone to the health clinic at my college. I'm feeling like an adult. I have my own health care. I have my own money. Albeit I'm living in my parents' basement. I can't move out, but I feel empowered. Like I'm going to take care of my health and I'm going to find a doctor and somebody I can go to year after year.

I grew up Catholic, but we just never talked about it. So I'm also being conscious of the fact that if male comes to the house, I don't really want them to see it. Like, I don't want it to be like women's clinic. I want nothing that screams like sex. So I start to look for a doctor and I'm looking for something that's discreet. So I find a doctor and it's just like, Dr. So-and-so.

Now as an adult, I realize all the letters after the doctor's name indicate what kind of doctor it is. So I call the doctor up to make an appointment.

She does do exams and I can't come see her, but just want to be upfront that this is kind of what this office is.

Making the call was awkward enough. I'm like, yep, I'm in. Make me the appointment. Yeah. It comes time for the appointment. I walk in there and this is like nothing I've experienced before. It's a beautiful office. Everywhere I've gone to just has that like curtain in between the rooms. So this feels nice. I feel out of my element.

Everything is very much set up for people who are trying to have families. There is a couple who is in there together. All of the posters and pamphlets are all for fertility planning. And I am actively trying not to get pregnant.
