Both times I went before I've had exams, so it's not really a big deal to me. What I'm thinking, though, is should I go earlier because there is a history of breast cancer in my family? I know I have to start mamograms in my mid to late 20s instead of at 40 like most people. Thanks for the info robin

ETA: Too bad, I just saw that my old gynecologist switched practices. I really liked her Of course, when I'm 18 I can go wherever I want to.
