birth control at 15?

Question

Okay I'm 15 and I want to go on the pill. I have never had a boyfriend at any point in my life, if never even been kissed😂 so I don't want to go on the pill for that reason, I want to go on it to regulate my cycle, I get really bad cramps, I apparently it can help with that? Idk, I just think it would be benefiting me for these reasons considering I've missed school because of cramps before. And if I get a boyfriend in the next few months (probably won't happen bc I'm a potato) it wouldn't be the worst thing to already be protected (although I'm considering waiting untill marriage) I just don't know how to bring it up with my mom? Any tips are highly appreciated:)

Answer

The thing that helped me was getting a doctor involved. My mom is very religious and was against it but my doctor was like "listen, this is going to help her PCOS so much." And she relented. When I became sexually active I felt much more prepared and educated because I was already on it and had gotten used to taking it at the same time every day.

Answer

Explain it just as you did here! 
Let her know that your cramps are interfering with you daily activities. That you are looking to get some help with your periods. You can mention that you're not sexually active but state that it is a great back up plan for when that time does come.

Answer

Ask your doctor about it and then ask your doctor to explain it to your parents so they can understand a little better as to why you want it. My friend has been on birth control since she was 12 because of how horrible and irregular her periods were and birth control helped her a lot

Answer

You sound well informed and mature. You should explain to your mother exactly what your telling us about how debilitating your periods are and get her info about how bc can help. Ask if you can go together to the doctor and get oriented about the pros and cons. It is good to hear you are focused and know what you want at your age. Waiting until marriage is also a good decision, I did it and don't regret it. Best of luck

Answer

Just be honest! I went on birth control around age 14 to stop getting my period because my cramps were too painful. Ask your parents to talk with your doctor about your options to see what's best for you.

Answer

When i brought it up with my mom I did it over text. I said "hey I've been thinking and I've been having issues with my period and I read that a good fix is the pill."
