Can a 14 year old take Birth Control?

Question

So I’m 14. I was curious to if I could take birth control even though I’m only 14. I looked online that you have to be 16. But others said it was perfectly fine. I read online it can help with periods too. My period is always heavy since I’ve gotten it two years ago. I know that’s not really an excuse for me to go on birth control but I wanted to see if it really would help. I hate having to sit in one place and think, “I don’t want to get up. I don’t want to flood my underwear with the Red Sea.” I also have a boyfriend but we aren’t sexually active. So long story short, would it be okay for me to start taking birth control? And how would I bring it up to my mom?

Answer

Many people take birth control to help with their periods. It's not an excuse, it's a legitimate reason. You'll have to talk to your doctor and parents though and see what they say

Answer

I started birth control at 13 years old due to my period never regulating and was on it until 19. It helped me have a regular period.

Answer

I would tell your mom that you've been looking up ways to help your period and saw that birth control was an option. Ask her if she could set up an appointment for you with your doctor so you can talk to them about it. Many people use birth control for periods.

Answer

I started taking birth control at 14 for irregular, heavy and very painful periods. Just tell your mom you would like to look into getting birth control to help make your periods less heavy
