I want to start using birth control

I know you’re not supposed to tell your mother that you want or are on it… Cause her motherly insticts will kick in and start assuming you are having sex. (Somehow my mom started assuming that when I asked her what birth control was. lol.)

I have been having sex with one guy obviously my boyfriend. And I havent told my mom and don’t plan telling her either. But I do want to start birth control just to be on the safe side when having sex aith my boyfriend. And because my periods are totally whaking up lately.

So how can I tell my mom (who is assuming I want to start them and gave me a lesson on how to wait to talk with her when she gets back from mexico to start on it) that I actually want to start birth control??

Btw… I’m 17.

Answer #1

How do I talk to my parents about the Pill? If you are going on the Pill, it’s good to share the information with your parents. They will be a good source to go to if you have any questions or concerns about taking the pill. If you are starting on the pill for cramps, irregular periods, or acne, the pills are simply a medication that you are taking to treat your problem. Talk with your parents about how the pills will help your medical problems. If you parents still have concerns, have them read Oral Contraceptive Pills and Teens: A Guide for Parents. If you are taking oral contraceptives as birth control to protect yourself from getting pregnant, talking to your parents may be more difficult since you will be talking about having sex. But even though it may be hard to tell them, it is usually helpful for them to know so that you will be able to go to them whenever you have a question or a problem with the Pill or with your relationships. Some teens, though, decide that keeping the decisions confidential (or private) is better for them.
