Ok so I am on my last re-fill of my birth control and I am absolutely dreading going to the doctor to get my annual. I know that it's necessary and all that but has anyone heard of a doctor just hooking up the script without the whole invasive check-up. I don't mind the breast exam but i just hate the other stuff :/

Hi
Your concern is understandable. There are a couple of points to consider. 1). The pap smear now is recommended every 3 years. If your previous paps were normal then there isn't a need to have it done yearly and the pelvic exam can be deferred if you don't have any urogenital complaints. If you are over 30 years, the pap can be combined with the HPV test and if both are negative then the next tests can be done in 5 years. 2). There are other contraceptives to consider that don't require a yearly renewal. There is the intrauterine devices which last 5-10 years or the sub dermal implants. Hope this is helpful.
