birth control again
Hi
You answered my question about the birth control pills haha
well I went to planned parenthood like you recommended and they put me on the pill. it worked out so great! it didn't cost me anything and plus the doctor there was very nice and answered all of my questions.
I only have 1 more question though. I got 3 packs of the pill (so i'd have them for 3 months) but here's the thing.. my parents don't know i'm on the pill. They are also very snoopy sometimes. My mom is a neat freak and cleans my room a lot and i'm scared she will snoop through my things and find them. She is very against the pill and doesn't want me to have sex haha.
so i guess my question is, how exactly do i hide this? the doctor at planned parenthood said i need to take the pill every day at the same time. (i picked 12pm/noon because its the easiest to remember and its during my lunch hour) so i'm planning on taking 1 of the packs with me in my purse to school. but where should i hide the other packs? I don't really think my room is a good place because like i said, i have snoopy parents and i could get in big trouble. my house is not a great place to hide things because most likely my parents WILL find it sooner or later. i was thinking about just keeping them in my school locker until school gets out in the summer? but i'm not really sure.. another idea was keeping them at my boyfriends house (his parents dont snoop in his room) so they would be safe there, but again i'm not sure if thats a good idea or not.
What are your opinions and do you have any other ideas how i could hide it? Thank you so much!

Glad that worked out for you :)
Yeah, that's hard, isn't it? I had the same problem...I don't know what your room looks like, but is there a weird, out of the way place you could hide them? For me, I have a top shelf in my closet with boxes full of clothes, and I put them at the bottom of one of the boxes. If you keep shoes in your closet, maybe all the way (like at the toe) inside a pair of boots? Or in a ziplock bag taped to the underside of your bed or the back of a piece of furniture?
If there is nowhere in your room, I think your locker at school is a good idea for now. Just make sure they're in a bag or something so they don't go falling out and embarrass you haha.
And one other thing: if you find it hard to take it at the same time every day (it's harder than it seems, esp if you're busy or on weekends when you're not at school), the best thing to do is set an alarm on your phone to go off at the time you're supposed to take it every day. (On vibrate's probably best so no one notices.)
If you didn't already, make sure you read the packet of information that came with your pills- I know it's long and boring, but it's super important to read the list of "rare but serious side effects" where you should see your doctor if so-and-so happens. Don't let it freak you out- chances are, you'll be fine and nothing bad will happen to you- but it's important to know just in case. (Reason I say this is I had a problem- nothing life-threatening, of course- for months and didn't know why until I thought to check the fine print. It went away as soon as I switched to another kind so don't worry too much.)
Best of luck!
