How would I go about going on the pill?? I'm in Australia and I am 17...
it needs to be prescribed to you by a doctor because there are quite a few different kinds of the pill so he/she needs to give you one that’s right for you you can either go to the doctors and schedule an appointment by yourself having a Medicare card would be good if your going to do this or ask your mum or dad to come to the doctors with you so you can get it then go to the pharmacy and get the one they prescribed to you were either you or your parents can pay for it remember to ask lots of questions about it like what side effects it has if you can skip the sugar pills and miss your period that month or if your pill doesnt allow that ect and remember to tell them if you smoke or not as people who smoke shouldnbt be on the pill also if your already pregnant you cant take it
im pretty sure 16 is the age you can go on it without your rents knowing. so if thats what your concerned about, then yeah youre 17 so you can go on by yourself, with no parental permission. just talk to a doctor.
