If you are over 18 and still on her insurance but live separate...ask that anything concerning your bills and health be sent to YOUR home addy. They will protect your privacy. The only part about that is that you will be responsible for any extra charges from your doctor that your insurance hasn't picked up.
I suggest you talk to your mother about the BC anyway. At 19 and out of the house, you are an adult now. I would ask her opinion about BC and let her know you are considering it. There are other reasons women get on BC besides to have sex. It regulates you and it is awesome for your complexion.
If none of those ideas work...then I think you are better off going to a Planned Parenthood clinic and just getting on them without the insurance and pay for it yourself.
Good luck!

This is hard, but not impossible. First, I commend you on even wanting to share this with your mom. Unfortunately, I had to tell my mom AFTER I discovered I was 16 and pregnant. I lost the baby, but did get on birthcontrol afterwards. Start by just being honest with your mom. Tell her you are sexually active and want to be mature and responsible about that decision by getting on birth control. Remember that birth control doesn't prevent sexually transmitted diseases, just helps to prevent pregnancy.
Tell your mom that you know this is a big decision, but you want to be responsible by choosing a good doctor and that you need her help or want her help. Your mom will probably be disappointed, but glad that you came to her first. You might even tell her that you have made your decision to do this with her or without her.... but would love to go throught his WITH her blessings and help rather than alone and that's why you are sharing this info with her. Trust me, asking her to talk with you is actually harder than the actual talk. Take the first step and get er done! Good Luck.

Your 19, living out from under your mothers roof and you should make a doctors appointment or go to a heath clinic and get the prescriptions on your own.

Ask your mom what she went through when she was thinking about birth control and all. She will understand and then open up to you about your concerns, after she realizes that you are now in that moment and need some motherly advice .

like you said you are 19 and living out of the house, i think your mom probably realizes its about time to deal with this, and she should consider herself lucky that it took this long. just say mom i'm going to the dr to get some birth control, if you can't deal with the sex thing tell her you are getting them to control your periods, lots of women do it for that reason, my tubes have been tied for years but i've taken them to regulate periods. they have all those bc pills out now that make your period shorter or only have them a few times a year, you can tell her you are doing it for that!

Go to your local Planned Parenthood. They will be able to provide birth control to you confidentially. It's cheaper than a doctor, too. Try a woman's clinic, also. There's alot of help out there for you.

You should go out to eat than ask her a few questions about her love life when she was your age. ask her if she'd rather let u risk getting pregnet or putting you on birth control. give her a few reasons such as condoms don't work 100%.

Just go to her house and sit down and talk. that what my daughter and I done her dad was left out for that one. Just go in and talk like a adult and your mom should talk back to you the same Just remember you will always be her little girl. Explain your intent.
