How should I as my mom for birth control pills?

Question

Its all in the title!

Answer 1

just sit her down, and tell her that you feel that you're ready to become sexually active, but you want to be responsible about it. tell her that you feel birth control would be the best form of contraceptive for you, and tell her that its just for your safety. let her know that you just want to make the right choices for your future. but, just remember, birth control doesnt always work. the best way not to get pregnant is dont have sex at all. Good luck with the talk and God bless!

Answer 2

First of all I don't believe in teen sex, no teen is mentally mature enough to be thinking about or having sex. You may thing so right now but when you hit about 20-22 years old you will look back and wonder what you were even thinking. Now if you feel like you need birth control pills for a medical reason then that should be easy to ask for. But just know that you will have to get a pap smear for the doctor to prescribe them to you and it isn't the funnest thing in the world to have a cold handed, cold utensil using doctor poking around your personals. But most of all if you insist on having sex, USE CONDOMS. Birth control although it may prevent you from getting pregnant is not going to stop you from getting a sexually transmitted disease. God forbid something like Herpes, AIDS, or Gonorrhea, not forgetting about crabs, syphilis, and whatever else is crawling around out there. And the best part, even though I am against teen sex" is that you can walk into a store and buy your own condoms, they are even given out at some schools.

Answer 3

This depends on your relationship with her.

How old are you?

Do some research online to see if you can get the pill without her consent and safely (don't just buy junk online).

Make sure you show your mom you're committed to a healthy sexual lifestyle: check-ups, pregnancy tests, gynos.

Tell her your ultimate plans about what you want and what you're willing to do: if you get pregnant/an STD. . . adoption, abortion, keeping your baby. . .

Reinforce for her the idea that you will not be coerced into having sex when you don't want to, don't feel safe. Make sure she knows you won't be having sex illegally (with someone over 18 if you're under 18). Make sure she knows you have given this a lot of thought and are not completely insane, young, immature, or unprepared.


Instead of laying the big whammy on her, "Mom. I want. . " try sitting her down for a serious and important discussion (showing you're going to be an adult about your choices) wherein you discuss the choices you've been making/plan to make, and where you can tell her about what you already know: that the pill is not a get out of jail free I can do anything I want to card. Discuss the fact that you know your risks for your actions, that you've thought this out, and that you think the most responsible thing for you to do right now is to be on birth control pills. Tell her you wanted her to be part of her decision (she's a lot less likely to flip out and go psycho-control freak), and tell her you're happy she's listening to you, regardless of her decision. Tell her you want her to go to the doctor with you and support you.

ASK FOR HER ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Be safe, dear.

Answer 4

If you are sexually active then you should be on the pill. You should ask her straight forward to not "sugar coat" things. If you are having sex you should tell her. At least she can't be mad that you are practicing safe sex. It's possible she may give you another "Birds and the Bees" talk if she doesn't know so be prepared.

Be cautious how you say it, consider how she may react. Just say, Mom, we need to talk. Explain your disposition and what led to it and then ask her for what you need. You are most likely old enough for it anyway. Don't be scared or nervous, be straight forward.

Answer 5

Tell her you want to make an adult decision to protect yourself, and if she gets angry let her know that most teens wouldn't have said anything and you want to keep a good relationship between the two of you.

But no one can really tell you how to approach YOUR mom, you know her better than most people. Be sensitive and expect the worst. Good Luck

Answer 6

I would say, "Mom, we need to talk. I would like to be on birth control. " You should be given some credit for trying to be responsible. Good luck.

Answer 7

Just say, "Mom, I want to be on birth control pills." It's pretty simple really.

Answer 8

I know how you feel when I first wanted to go on them I was so nervous to ask my mom I didn't know how. I talked alot to my friends about it and then finally Me and my one friend went to a planned parenthood and I got them. About 3 months later my mom said that maybe I should go on them so then I told her I already was. Well she was a little upset that I didnt talk to her about it but happy in my responsibility on doing that. So Good Luck!!

Answer 9

I'm just a guy, but i've heard a lot of chicks go on birth control for other medical conditions (don't know what they are), so you might try that.

Answer 10

well, it depends on why you want them and how you think she would react. if you are having sex and you know she would disapprove, just tell her its for health reasons (irregular periods, etc). tell her it's concerning to you and you have heard that bc pills help that. if you think she would disapprove no matter what, go to a place like planned parenthood and talk to them about it.
