Hi, I'm 15 and a girl. I want to try and get on the contracptive pill but I'd rather not tell my parents it is cos I am sexually active. Is there any medical reasons that can help me get on it? My periods are irregular and I get bad period pains, Could I get put on it to help that? thanks x

If you simply go to your local health clinic they will put you on the pill, give you condomns, and information about sex without you having to tell your parents anything. Quite a few of my friends have gone that route, and if you sign up as a student then you won't even have to pay for it.

Buttt, if you get put on Yaz, which is the one you'll probably be put on, [my doctor said it's the best one for period regulation and pain] the side effects SUCK, and they last for about a week and a half to two weeks [just to let you know. I didn't know about them, and I started taking it, and I felt like, al;fjalsfjas] but, it's worth it, especially if it's to help prevent pregnancy. Good luck!

Actually, my doctor went as far as to tell my mom all the great health benefits that come along with it (you can try that too). Just make up a strong argument that will show your mom you really thought about it and how it will help you out in the long run.

You might really want to get that check out. Get your mom to take you to the doctor for that reason, and when you get back there by yourself then let him know about everything.
