Brainstorming WINK ahead of time

Plan ahead to get what you want out of your appointment!

Preparing for your visit can help you get the most out of the appointment. Thinking through what you want to learn and what questions you have (what you need to know!) before you go to your appointment is a great way to prepare.

Write down questions (or add a list of questions into your phone) that you have about your current health or health in general ahead of time and bring them with you so you don’t forget to ask during the appointment.

Examples of questions you might want to ask

• “Is birth control safe?”
• “Is it okay to have sex at my age”
• “Why do I sometimes have white stuff that comes out of my vagina on to my underwear?”
• “How do I protect myself against HIV?”
• “Do I need to shave my armpits or legs?”

Sometimes talking with friends about sex, birth control or reproductive health helps you think about what questions you might have for your provider during your visit. Write down any question that come up during these conversations and bring them with you to your appointment!
