Birth control pills are considered medication and can be legally transported anywhere. You needn't worry about the pills, they are perfectly legal to transport.

You shouldn't have a problem. Make sure you have them in the original packaging, preferably with the pharmacy label on it.
You should consider carrying your BCP with you in your carry on. You never know when you or your bags may be delayed. I carry my meds with me all the time, and I've *never* had to remove them from my bag or have them checked by anyone.
And for everyone who wants to judge you for being 15 and on birth control, I just want to say that there are other reasons why someone may be taking birth control. The most common reason is to regulate the menstrual cycle and even out hormone levels. Oral contraceptives can also be used to treat acne and PMDD.

Oh Honey, the innocense! You can take any medicine with you into any country -- as long as you have it in the original PRESCRIPTION CONTAINER with the ORIGINAL PRESCRIPTION LABEL on it. However, I don't think a 15 year old should be on BC pills becuz I don't think anyone under 18 to 22 should be having sex. That is because even tho your body is screaming "YES!!!!", your emotions and life knowledge hasn't caught up with these primitive feelings. A lot of HEART-BREAK will come your way by having promiscuous sex at such a young age. So, I hope you'll save yourself until you're older and wiser -- you will get wiser (even tho you think you are totally mature now, you're NOT !) -- i know -- I was you once ! How I wish I had waited several years, my life would be totally different and I'd be a different person in a much better life if I had. If my mom hadn't died when I was 15, I wouldn't have gotten away with being a "wild child" and I would have gone on to University as planned and traveled the world and found myself, instead of falling in love and having a baby by 16 !!!! That being said & knowing you wont listen, I'd rather have you on BC than not! However BCs DO NOT PREVENT Aids and other STDs that are out there, including the new ones that haven't been publisized yet & as just as bad, perhaps worse, than Aids !!! So, know your fella, REALLY KNOW HIM (make sure he isn't a bed hopper!!!) and use condoms too !!!!!!
Someone told me once & it's true: When you have (unprotected) sex with someone, YOU are having SEX with EVERYONE & ANYONE that THEY EVER HAD SEX WITH !!! Because their body absorbed any disease or STD that the person they were with had !!!!!!!
I no enter a relationship only if that person is a WONDERFUL PERSON in every way & I take several months to learn who he is! Then when talk of intimacy comes up, I say: for both our sakes and safety, b4 we are intimate I want us both to be tested for HIV and exchange result forms. Often results are on an anonymous form, but the person's birthday will be on it & the date of the test. NEVER TAKE ANYONE'S WORD that, "I don't have anything!" All men will say this. Say, that may be true, but in order for me to feel safe & be relaxed with you, I must know. I want children one day and I want to life a long, full, happy life. If you don't care enough about me to do this for me and for us, then YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT ME for ME TO BE giving you my MOST PRECIOUS GIFT , MY BODY !!! Like I say, if he refuses, he loses!!! And you won't DIE of AIDS !!!!
Hopefully you're just on BC to standardize or straighten out your periods, but I'm not that naive. Do be a STRONG WOMAN & take my advise, you have a long, long life ahead of you and there are GOOD FISH IN THE SEA !!! Don't settle for a rotten one -- YOU DESERVE THE BEST !!! Men will always be there and love will always be around the next corner. I found love again at 51!!! I was always Beautiful, a big problem in life sometimes, I wish I had waited til College tho, at least! I had my biggest & most romantic love affair when I was 39 -- he was 24!!! So, just showing you, you dont have to rush things! Give yourself time to learn, matue, and grow mentally and psycologically! Sex can wait -- limit it to heavy petting or heavy necking, but Limit it -- for now.
