Okay, I'll be the 'different' one. I was 13-years-old, but I had massive GYN problems. I had such a large ovarian cyst on the left ovary that I nearly needed surgery. I had 30-day cycles, but periods that lasted 2 weeks straight. Changing my pad every 2 hours was a MUST. I even had to set my alarm clock during the night. Many, many social events were cancelled monthly because I wouldn't even be able to move since the pain was so great.
I was bounced on the off the pill for the next 3 years to dissolve the cyst. The birth control pill would work, but the cyst would return after only being off it for 3 months! Finally, I was left on the pill at the age of 16! I remained on the pill until I was 23. I still have issues...
Edited to Add: I got so many nasty looks it was pathetic. I guess everyone thought I was pregnant...I hated going because of it!!!

I went for regular women's reasons. I THINK my first one was when I was 17, I know I was a senior in high school. I was sexually active and wanted to go on the pill so I went to Planned Parenthood. I wish I had gone right after getting my first period. No reasons other than getting there earlier and MAYBE preventing some issues I have had since I was 18 (don't want to reveal on such an public website sorry).
It wasn't until I was alot older that I realized CF could affect women's issues. I stopped taking the pill when I was 21 because I take at least 2 abx daily so it was pointless to take the pill too. (I've always been told they cross each other out).
