Are all birth controls only by prescription?

Condoms - no prescription needed All pills, patches, shots, and IUD’s require a doctor’s visit. Planned Parenthood may be able to steer you toward a low cost or free clinic. Although a doctor won’t (legally can’t) reveal your visit, how arer you going to pay? Insurance co. will reveal that you had a visit, and then you have to explain why you are doing it on the sly. Best to talk with your mom if possible.

hello yeh all birth control is only by prscription only except condoms hun I am on the microgynon 30 and have been since the age of 17 and am 28 this yr I was only of it for 9 months when having my son and have been bk on it since I ad my son 4 years ago and I ave not got preg yet go see ya doctor and explain to them and they will give you a birth control drug and you dont have to tell yr parents or anybody about it as the doctor can not tell yr parents nothing with put yr concent and you can go yr self with out them yr ld enough or take a friend

now you can get birth control at school at age 11!! but you can go to the health department and get it…without your perants knowing. and the health department peeps can tell.

talk to your parents. they would rather know you are having sex and being safe about it. you have to have a prescription… so good luck

Bear in mind that when you take other medication or have emergency medical treatment, being on the pill can, either seriously or mildly, affect your chances. Your parents are the ones who are likely to be asked about your medical history if you’re in an emergency situation, so to be honest they should know if you go on the pill. I really understand why you’re reluctant to talk to them - believe me, I went though this. But is there any way you can work out how to talk to your mum, at least? (Mums are usually a bit more relaxed than dads about this kind of thing - honestly, most of us remember what it’s like.)
