I would like to go on birth control, but my mom keeps telling me its a bad idea because my grandma died of a blood-clot. Are there any forms of birth controls that won't cause blood clots? I understand where my mother is comming from but could she just be overreacting because she doesnt want me on birth control?

Make an appointmet for yourself and go in and talk to the doctor about it. Kids have rights after a certain age when it comes to confidentiallity. There are many forms of birth control that is safe. Iwas all for my daughter being on birth control. Better than pregnancy-right. when i was 18 I was too afraid to go thru the exam. my mom never talked to me about that,,,well I got pregnant and I had a full ride scholarship to an awesome college. I prefer having my daughter tho of course but my mom was livid and hung up on me when I told her I was pregnant. They just don't get that kids are going to have sex--better to have them prepared right-you can do this by yourself(depending on your age and state). Better if mom understands and helps you thru the process. things are safer now 2007???????????????? good luck sweetie

Birth control increases your risk for stroke, heart attack, blood clots and other things. Read about it on the web. I am not sure why you want to go on birth control but if you periods are heavy or irregular you could ask your mom to take you to the docs office so that all 3 of you can discuss your options.

As far as I am aware there is no pill or patch that doesn't carry this risk, which by the way is very minimal BUT with that said you having a family history of blood clots I wouldn't want to tell you to use these. I would call or ask at your next OB visit and I am sure they have great information.

Depending on your age, she may also not want you on birth control because that's like encouraging sex you may not be old enough for yet. Abstinence is the best policy, but condoms and Depo Prevara shot are also options.

To practice birth control is a better decision than to go for an abortion at a later date.
If your mom does not like it, ask her how would she like to be your babysitter for all your unwanted babies.
