Is this true about birth control?
I asked my mom about being put on birth control, which on my part, took a lot of courage to do, but she said she would rather I didn’t because birth control only works for 5 years then doesn’t. She said she’s gonna take me to the gynecologist but she probably won’t put me on birth control yet. She also asked me if I was sexually active and I told her no, but I didn’t exactly tell her the truth. I haven’t had sex yet but me and my boyfriend talk about it a lot, I told him I was going to wait until he was older, I’m 15 and he’s a couple years younger then me. I don’t plan on having sex for a couple more years actually but I wanna be on birth control before I make the decision to have sex and plus I have an acne problem and irregular bleeding.. So basically my question is, does birth control only last for 5 years and what should I tell her to convince her to put me on birth control?
okay. I’m not on birth control but I am about to get the 5 year IUD. I know enough to know that it works for more than 5 years. if you get pills then they refill them every month, the shot you get once every 1-3 months, and the IUD lasts for 5 years until you go to get another one put in if you choose to. so you can stay on birth control for as long as you want. but I completely understand why your mom doesnt want you on it. I would wait until you’re 16 and then ask her. im 18 and not on it yet b/c I knew if I did that would make me want to so if you know you want to wait already then wait until you’re 16 and your mom will understand a little more. sit her down and tell her that you’re not going to have sex right now, but when the time comes you want to make sure that nothing goes wrong and you want to be protected as much as possible. she will be glad that you’re being honest with her and tell her that you would like to get on it now and dont stop talking to her there. try and keep a conversation flowing b/c if she thinks that you’re hiding things, she will hide things. she may even make it difficult for you and your boyfriend to see each other. since you’re not 16 and he’s younger then you cant drive to where he is so you need your parents right now. lol. but yeah, it seems like you’re being smart about it and your mom obviously isnt stupid so try to talk to her like that. she’ll think your mature and may even let you get on it within the next year… hope this helps some. && even if she says no still… be careful! dont do anything unprotected.
