Call around to hospitals or clinics and ask them where the nearest family planning clinic is. This is a place that won't cost a lot and everything is confidential. They can not tell your parents or anyone. They will figure out what type of birth control will be best for you.

I think the best way to get birth control (the way I did it) was to go to planned parenthood and talk to someone. All information there is confidential and kept private. The can provide you with however many months supply of birth control. The visit may cost because you may have to do a pap smear or you can go in and get perscribe birth control. At times depending where you live you may be able to get a discount. The patch alone cost between $30 and $40 a month.

You can go to the site that is mentioned above my post; however I think it's better for a person to go in, sit down and talk with someone about the birth control instead of just giving money away to some site that you may not know is good. Good Luck.

this is available.........yet.........i could wish you're able to communicate the assumption of having unprotected intercourse with a verify or older sibling or counselor. delivery administration pills do no longer guard you from Sexually Transmitted illnesses including AIDS, chlamydia, Herpes Simplex Virus, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and the checklist is going on. The pill is ninety 5% eeffective against being pregnant. They trick your physique into believing this is pregnant already via overloading you on the hormone estrogen. yet once you permit out ONE pill, the opportunity of being pregnant doubles! There are additionally risks with the pill, including weight benefit, strange heartbeat, and intense blood rigidity. those risks are small, yet are nonetheless present. waiting till you're older to have intercourse is the terrific ingredient you could in all probability do, considering which you have got an more advantageous know-how of the prospect aspects in touch and could make wiser judgements related to your sexual well-being. i know I sound preachy, yet i'm a nursing student and have seen toooooo many situations of undesirable pregnancies, young ones with STD's and fogeys no longer understanding what to do next. Please think of this by!

You don't want the patch. It has been on the news with alot of bad side effects. I am not sure they even prescribe it anymore. You might try somewhere like Planned Parenthood.

You can order the pill from here w/out a prescription: http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/bcp-hormones/bcp-hormones.html I think it would be more reliable.
If I still needed birth control, I don't think I would ever have a period. I would take the active pills continuously and not take the 7 inactive ones that bring on the "period." Studies have shown that a period is not necessary.

If there is a "Planned Parenthood" program near you, you can check with them. Please continue to require your partner to wear condoms. The patch does not protect against STD's.
