How do I ask my mom for birth control to regulate my period without her thinking I'm sexually active?

Question

I'm 15 years old and have never had sex before. I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend since March and want to go on the pill to regulate my period, considering I've skipped it for six months before. My period is usually 5-15 days late and extremely heavy. Knowing I have a boyfriend and are at the age a lot of girls start having sex how do I ask my mom for birth control without her thinking I want to have sex?

Answer

Just be upfront with your mom! I'm sure she'll understand if you tell her basically what you posted on here. Good luck though!

Answer

I randomly said "mom, what would you say if I started using birth control" first all I heard was a long Gasp and wide eyes glaring at me! She's like "don't tell me you're sleeping with someone" I started laughing and explained to her why and her main concern was that if I do use BC, she didn't want me to feel like i had permission to have sex. Which I hadn't planned on and still haven't to this day. 😋 Moms will understand.

Answer

just tell her it is to regulate your period. i had a boyfriend at your age and my parents understood. hell, they knew how awful my period was to me for years. she should understand.
