whats the easiest way to get birth control pills? I live in new jersey. I was wondering if there is any way to get them for free without my parents knowing. I am 18 but i'm still living with them because I'm in high school. If i had a doctors appointment to get them and used their insurance could they find out? Or could i get them at like a planned parenthood? And which ones do you guys recommend? My primary purpose for it is birth control, but i've heard it also can do lots of other stuff that I want to take advantage of. I want to have less difficult periods, increase my cup size a little bit, and have better skin (i break out sometimes). Oh and one more thing... you have to take it at the same time every day right? What is a good time to take it? I don't want it in the morning because i have to wake up way earlier during the week than weekend and i want it to be not so noticeable when i take it. Thanks so much! sorry it was long!

But the best thing for you to do is to probably speak to your parents about it, if you are wanting to take them simply because you want to have a less trying period, larger breasts, and clearer skin then I'm pretty sure that your parents will not object. If you do use their insurance they will find out, because insurances send out explanation of benefits, showing how much they paid and how much you may owe the provider.
Also your mother may want you to begin going to a gynecologist, now is a good time to begin going and getting your yearly pap smears too. They can then discuss with you what type of birth control is best for you, what they risks are, and which dosage of hormones are best for you. I have found that they usually are a little more helpful at your own gynecologist than at a clinic, because they can be so swamped.
