You sound like you really want to tell them (which is good), so I'm leaning more towards advising you to tell them. Like you said, you don't want the relationship with your parents to be based on lies.
I think you should sit down with them and tell them that you have something you need to tell them. Just be open and honest. Tell them you lost your virginity, you felt like you were ready (I'm assuming and really hoping that you did), etc.
Make sure to keep your cool- if they get mad, let them get mad, but it doesn't mean you have a right to get mad back. They're your parents, they care about you and only want what's best. Keep in mind that you have to stay calm, and you'll be fine :)

The best advice i can give you is bring it up medically. By that i think you should start off telling them you need birth control. That shows them you want to protect yourself and gives them the hint that your doing the deed without being so blunt. [ Rock_Chick13's advice column | Ask Rock_Chick13 A Question ]

You should tell them because they should know that you're having sex. I mean, while most kids think their parents won't want to know about stuff like that, some parents do. Some parents want to educate their children on topics like sex & how to be safe about it. I hope you're using protection.
And on the other hand, I think you don't really have to tell them if you don't want to. It wouldn't be considered a lie if you didn't tell them. You don't have to share every detail of your life with them. Everyone is entitled to not share certain things. It's not considered a lie, so don't worry about that.
Honestly, you should do what you think is right. If you want to tell them, I would tell them calmly & rationally. Tell them you're using protection & that you're not being promiscuous about it & I'm sure they'll be okay with it. If it does start an argument, just don't bring it up again. However, if you don't want to tell them, then you don't have to either, so just keep in mind that you do have a choice & that the latter of the two isn't a lie if you choose not to share it, okay? :) Just use protection & make your choices wisely. You'll be okay. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
erin_gee answered Thursday August 13 2009, 4:26 pm: I honestly would not tell them. I couldn't. You definitely will create a much bigger argument out of that one. What parent wants to know there kid is having sex? I almost think many would rather just not know. Theres some things you should tell but there are many things you may just wanna leave unsaid to your parents to prevent them from flipping out. just a suggestion:] [ erin_gee's advice column | Ask erin_gee A Question ]
cuddlemonster answered Thursday August 13 2009, 4:11 pm: Why are you telling them? They probably don't even want to know. You don't have to tell them every little detail of your life. It would really be better if you didn't. You're trying not to cause fights, but this will probably cause a huge one. [ cuddlemonster's advice column | Ask cuddlemonster A Question ]
