Me and my boyfriend of 5 months have just started having sex. The both of us are 17. Honestly.. We just do it any place we can be alone for at least 5 minutes because our parents are strict, but mines a bit more. Like I'm not very proud to admit that we've done it in the bathroom at school. My boyfriend texted me and was sending me links to different contraceptives because he took some online sex ed course and thinks he's a professor now lol. He asked me what I think about NuvaRing or IUD because he thinks I'm too much of a forgettable person for the pill. I told him I want the pill so I can just get it over the counter. About a few days after that we got my BC but I didn't wanna hide it with me because my parents come in my room whenever and will randomly rearrange stuff or my 23 year old sister that I share a room with will bother my stuff. So he told me to get a pad and wrap the pills in and keep it in my bag cause no one's gonna tamper with a menstrual product lol. I told my boyfriend I'm really nervous about the symptoms. I told him that I don't wanna gain weight since I'm already overweight and he told me that weight doesn't take away someone's beauty. Then I told him what if I start snapping and getting moody and he told me as long as I apologize and let him know it's the medication then he won't mind. I mean I appreciate him trying to calm me down but I'm not sure if I'm ready to go through changes lol
