Agree with what everyone has said already, no one can force you to get a pelvic. I remember some of my friends telling me that you HAVE to get one when you turn 18, that it's a law. Total BS. I got my first pelvic in my 30s! I realize though that it is not recommended to wait that long.
One thing to ask the Dr office when it does come time to get a pelvic exam, do they use plastic or metal speculums? The speculum is what they use to open the vaginal canal so they can see the cervix. The metal speculums are WAY less uncomfortable than the plastic. I won't go to a Dr who uses the plastic ones.
