Birth Controll
15 f & bf is 18
After ditching school to go to my bf's house one day, my parents found out and my mom said to me "I hope you two aren't having sex, but if you are I at least want you to be on birth control". Her mom was all about "don't do it"..but, duh, people have sex eventually. My mom just wants me to be safe.
I haven't had sex yet, but I am ready for it. I'm comfortable with my boyfriend and we talk about sex and birth control and what we would do if I get pregnant.And since he has had sex before, he went and got tested for AIDS and well, the whole deal really.. - Me and my boyfriend see eachother once a week, if that, because his parents don't like me, and my dad doesn't like him.
My question is this: If we only see eachother once a week, will I still have to take birthcontrol all week long? And if so, why?

Sounds like you've taken all the precautionaries needed. So I don't see anything wrong with you two having sex personally. But this is completely up to you. If you do decide to take birth control, you will need to take it all week long. For 3 main reasons.
1) the pill doesn't works correctly or effectively if it's not taken every day and preferably at the same time. why? i couldn't really give you an accurate response. but if you decide to get put on birth control and ask this question, they will give you a 100% accurate answer. so i suggest doing this. also, they should give you a pamplet about the pill which should answer this question also if you still have any questions.
2) if you take the pill every day at the same time of day, it will become routine for you. meaning it will be much easier to remember and a lot harder to forget. you may think it's very hard to forget such an important thing, but trust me. it's easier than you think.
3) your period will always be on time and it'll be lighter, you should cramp less and it will also be shorter. however this deal only works if you routinely take the pill everyday. mainly because your body will only adjust to this change if the pill is taken on time.
any other questions, just ask =]

Even if you only saw your bf once a month, you still [depending on the pill] should take it everyday. im no doctor, but i know that your body has to get in a cycle if you want it to work effectively.otherwise im pretty sure that it wont work correctly.but good job being safe, and whatever you choose, make sure you do it because YOU want to.good job and good luck!

You can learn a lot from this site especially since your school isn't teaching you anything. It has a ton of information and I hope you spend some time looking at it.
You don't necessarily have to take birth control pills. There are other forms of birth control that you could choose. Check out this page to learn more about birth control and birth control pills (which you would take once every single day).

Yes you will... you should take birth control at least a week BEFORE having sex. If you don't know this much yet I think you should wait until you learn more about it in a health class but birth control tricks your body into being pregnant and if oyu are going to have sex you should continually take it otherwise your body will get all messed up Your period will be off and you could also feel sick. Birth control releases hormones about being pregnant and it take a while for those to take an effect. Hope I helped
