15 and wanting birth control
15/f
I've suffered from an ovarian cyst which i felt like completely ruined my life for a couple of months. it was extremely painful and at times i would find myself unable to hold myself upright and end up simply having to crouch over in pain and at times cry. I hear that ovarian cysts are reoccuring and have what some might see as an irrational fear of getting another. i dislike having my periods in general and am wondering if it would be reasonable to ask my mother about maybe getting me started on birth control. also, although i've been thinking this over for quite some time before, i've also recently just started having sex. my mom's unaware of this. do you suppose she would find my reasons reasonable enough for her to consider putting me on birth control? thank you.

I think it is a perfectly good reason to get birth control. I also am 15/f and would be terrified if I were in your shoes. My mom had an ovarian cyst as well and I have seen how much pain she was in. I think it would only be reason that your mother should get you birth control (even if you leave out the sex part). I hate my period as well, but I don't have another excuse (a good excuse) to ask for birth control. I think you have two strong reason why your mother should get you birth control. ;)

Your number one problem right here is that you arent telling your mom about having sex. Im aware of how hard it is to tell someone,especially your mom,that youre growing up...and a topic like sex can be especially embarassing. Although you might want to keep your mom from knowing about your sex life you must first realize that ADULTS ALWAYS FIND OUT! Ive learned about this first hand,and ive also learned that coming right out and telling your parents the truth is always your best option. It sounds like to me that youre just really wanting to take the birth control so you can continue with your sex,which isnt a bad thing! Im really glad to hear that youre searching for ways to keep yourself safe. Im not sure what kind of personality your mother has or how she would take to you asking for birth control..so im not sure how good of an excuse the cysts will be..she will probably tell you that shel take you to a doctor and find a different method to treat the cysts other than using birth control. If you have your heart set on receiving birth control i would just go ahead and be honest with your mom about you having sex. She will more than likely be proud of you for being honest and wanting to have safe sex.
I hope ive helped...feel free to ask any other questions,(:

I would not give my child birth control pills just to get rid of there period. If I asked my mom for birth conrol pills to stop my period she would be none stop asking me question about it and telling me "DONT HAVE SEX"!!! The next time you go to the doctor ask him if theres anything that could help stop your cysts.
