Birth control
Okay so me and my boyfriend have decided to start having sex. I'm only fifteen and me and him arent even allowed in my room so my mom deffinitly cant know. At the health dep. here if youre under eighteen they will give you free birth control. But my mom might know because i always start the day after her. Can I start taking birth control at a certain day so it will still be the same?

First of all I find it very good that you are taking so much responsibility. Especially at so young of an age. Anyways generally you should start at the beginning of the month. Take it at the same time each day. There's usually a fourth week which is at the end of the month that should come with the birth control packet you get. Your period will be some where in the beginning of the last week of the month. However you will probably want to wait at least a month before you have sex to make sure the birth control has kicked in. However, no it won't be on the same day as you have it now. Hope I helped.

If you are only fifteen you should think about waiting to have sex. Not only should you think about the moral letdowns, but you should also think about your personal health.
Here are some things you should think about:
1. As odd as this sounds, wait till marriage. You will probably not marry this guy; I'm not saying it's not possible but most high school relationships don't last. After you have sex your relationship will feel weird. Don't be pressured to do it. It should be a special thing, and someday you will find someone you want to marry and you will have to tell him you whole past. Think about it. This is coming from a guy in college.
2. Birth control is 99% effective. That means if you have sex 100 times odds are you might get pregnant. 99% effective does not mean you can't have a baby the first time you have sex. If you choose to have sex make sure he wears a condom. At least then you will only have a 1 in 10000 chance. I don't think you want to have a baby in high school.
3. When you have sex at such a young age you greatly increase your chance of getting cervical cancer, which could leave you sterile.
... if you are not ready to take care of a baby, don't have sex
... i'll be 100% honest with you, all the girls that i know who had sex at such a young age have turned out to be nothings in life
... there are other things you can do instead of sex that are just as pleasurable
... morals= sit down and look at your life in a big picture and set down some life morals and stick to them. people will respect you for it.
it does sound like you mom is a little too controlling though... If you decide to sex, when you go to the health department ask them. They will know best

I started birth control about a year and and a half ago when I was 16. So I can relate :) Although my mother and father were supportive of my decisions and it was actually THEIR idea first.. things were a little easier. Haha
You normally start your first pack of birth control the first sunday after you start your period.
Keeping things from your mom isn't a good quality, but I understand where your coming from because my friend who is sexually active was afraid to ask her mom for birth control.
When you are young your periods change. Telling her you started a different day won't be odd, the young body changes and you don't always have periods the same time every month.
But, if you have any concerns about the actual day of your period(which you shouldn't because your body is young and changing) just ask someone at the health dept.
Good luck! Let me know if you have anymore questions!!
