How do I talk to a strict mum about an implant?

Question

Hi so I'm 16 and have been with my boyfriend for two years. My mum knows I'm on the pill because of my messed up heavy periods, but she doesn't know that I also use them for contraception. Im of age to have legal sex and also to make my own decisions about my health. I could have an implant without her permission, but if I have one and she finds out I'll be in more trouble than if I tell her beforehand. But how do I go about doing that? It will help me get through college pregnancy scare free (we use condoms too) and it will soothe my awful periods without me having to remember to take a pill every day, because I'm very forgetful. Any advice will be welcomed, thanks c:

Answer

Just tell her you're considering it since you can be forgetful. The implant could make things easier since you won't have to take a pill every day and pick up a new pack every month.
Then ask her what she thinks of the idea.

Answer

Just tell her. Any smart mom will understand that you wanting to be safe and have contraception that's right for you is more important than her frustration or anger at you having sex. You're gonna do it anyways, she may as well let you be as safe as possible.

Answer

I was in the same position as you! I just told her the implant can give me less painful, and less frequent periods. You don't forget it, and it's easier to keep up with.

She bought it, so Goodluck!

The periods and pains better, and well so is the sex.

Answer

Thank you all so much! I'm going to talk to her about it tomorrow because Friday nights aren't stressful for her. I'm still nervous though! Haha

Answer

Just tell her you feel like you're not constant enough with your pill and you don't wanna miss days and have your reproductive system out of wack. So that way it seems like you're being responsible by asking for something more stable

Answer

Just tell her you want it so you don't have to remember the pill every day. Perfectly valid not sex related reason.

Answer

You could also tell her it would help you to not have to worry about talking a pill everyday
