yaz


Question Posted Saturday August 2 2008, 9:52 pm

I want my mom to get me yaz, the birth control but not because I want "birth control" I want it to regulate my period. I don't know how to ask my mom because she is just going to say, " thats just an excuse to have sex." and im not sexually active. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should ask her?

you could 'accidently' leave a teen website on the computer about how pills can regulate you period after already metioning how inconvinient it is for you having irregular periods. Alternitivly you could visit you doctor and they will willingly give you the same drugs as they have offered them to me before. hope this helps :D

If you're nervous about flat out asking her for birth control, drop some hints beforehand! Some things you could do would be to:

-Mention how irregular your periods are, and how inconvenient it is. Really let her know that it bothers you, and that it'd be annoying to have to wait for everything to settle down first. (As it takes like, 2+ years for periods to regulate).

-Be honest with your Mom about your dating life! Let her know that she can trust you, and make it clear that you're not sexually active or anything of that nature.

-Point out Yaz commercials, and say something positive about the regulation of periods/it's symptoms.

-If you have to, really complain about your period. Eventually, she'll probably realize that it's an issue, and consider something to help you out.

-Let your doctor know about your irregular/inconvenient periods at your next check up. The fact that you had the guts to speak up to a doctor will show your Mom that you're serious, and that it's actually a problem, not an excuse to get birth control. Ask the doctor questions about how it helps/etc., and she'll see your interest.

Just remember, most girls are put on birth control when their periods are extremly irregular/very heavy/or 6+ days. Assuming you fall under one of these categories, your doctor/Mom should be reasonable enough to figure something out for you.

Also, if she dosen't get the hint, have a talk with her. Be blunt and to the point--That your periods are really bothering you, and getting in the way, and that you'd really appreciate her considering birth control. If she wants to talk about responsability/your sex life, or lack of one, let her. It will reassure her, and get you some maturity points, and most likely work in your favor!

Good luck.

XOXO

Talk to your mom about how irregular your period is. I thought my mother would say the same thing, but she agreed that knowing when it's coming is very helpful. Try explaining to her that if you're willing to talk to her about going on birth control, you're not going to lie about your motives. If she trusts you, that might be enough to convince her.


Otherwise, reassure her that you know not to make irresponsible decisions, and that the pill doesn't protect you from STDs. Do your homework & know the facts about it, it'll show that you're committed to the idea.

Approach her in a mature way. If you approach her in a childish and complaining manner, she won't budge.

Look her straight in the eyes and tell her that the only reason you want yaz is for the period regulation. If you don't have a boyfriend, and you've never given any reason for your parents to suspect that you are having sex, I don't see how she wouldn't believe you as long as you look her in the eyes. If she doesn't believe you, there's really nothing else you can do, and complaining to her about it will definitely not help.
