13/f. i`m the one who asked about the b.c pills a few days ago and talking to my mom about it. if i`m not mistaken it works very well for you.
these might be some dumb questions, but i`ll ask anyways.
- how well do the pills work
- what do the pills cover. like what do they do for you other than preventing pregnancy
- how much is the pill?
- how long do you have to use them until they actually start to work
- you don`t have to be a certain age to use those pills right?
- and uh.. what if i go to the clinic or pharmacy by myself, will i be able to get them?
** any other useful info will be nice. thanks so much, you`re great. **

Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
1)So far the pill has worked wonderfully for me. I haven't had any complaints yet, anyways. I'm not pregnant, nor have I ever been. So i'm going to say in general, yes.
2)Any birth control pill prevents pregnancy, but no pill that I have ever heard of prevents aids or stds. So if this could be an issue or concern with anyone you have sex with, be sure to wear a condom. I don't, but i'm positive that my boyfriend doesn't have anything. But besides pregnancy, the pill effects girls differently in good and some bad ways. For me, the pill has made my PMS lighten up. [all of my family & my boyfriend is grateful for that] and I have shorter, lighter periods. The only bad things about the pill is you can't miss more than 2 without having to use a backup method, which sucks because my boyfriend and I get caught up in the moment and don't think about protection. [which is not good, but we're only human] And the only other bad thing about the pill is it's made me gain a little weight. Not much, i've been on it for about 6 months, and i've only gained about 4 lbs. but still. It's weight. Haha. But don't let this stop you, some people lose weight when going on the pill. I just got the short end of that deal.
3)If you go to a health clinic, it's free. I'm not sure how much it is if you go to a family doctor though. And just so you know, you can't buy birth control pills [over the counter] from a pharmacy unless your family doctor sent you there for a prescription.
4)They will most likely tell you the answer to this. But when I went, they told me to use a back up method until i'm on my second set of pills. So usually you need to wait about a month.
5)No. You don't have to be a certain age.
6)If you go to a clinic, you can go by yourself. But I don't think you can go to a family doctor or get prescribed medicine from a pharmacist unless you are accompanied by an adult. I'm not sure though. If you have any doubts and go by yourself, definately go to a clinic.
