I want birth control without my parents knowing?

[Anonymous]

I'm 17, I've been with my boyfriend for over a year, and I want to take the next step and have sex with him... The only thing is I want to be REALLY safe and be on Birthcontrol and use a condom to prevent pregnancy and stds... The only thing is my parents are hardcore christians and would KILL ME if they found out that I wanted to have sex. Okay, main point here: I want to get birth control without my parents knowing. I've thought of two things so far: A) Go to Planned Parenthood, scavege some money and try buy birth control without them knowing B) Fake horrible period cramps and ask to go to the doctor about them with my mom, so they can suggest birth control... The only thing is that I KNOW that my mom will not let the doctor put me on birthcontrol... I feel so stuck because I WANT to be safe and take all of the precautions, but its so hard to do so... It would be so much easier to just use a condom alone and have him pull out before he comes... What do you guys think? Is there a sneaky enough way to do this?

Now here's a question for you: What if by some chance your parents do find out about it?

But you also had the BC. And had sex with your boyfriend, but what's the point? I mean I know what it's like having religious parents.

Now tell me this, if you did have sex had the condom, and the pill, but what will happen in the end? Your parents might find out and you might get in trouble.

In the end you have to be very careful on your choice.

Just either respect your parents, or be very careful on trying to get the pill. Good luck :)

Exact same situation as you. Mum and Dad very strong christians they do not believe in pre-maritial sex...which on my part is very hard for me too as it holds me back in relationships :(.

But couldn't you get a friend to get birth control pills for you? You could get a rod inserted in your arm without your parents knowing...?

All of my friends are against pre-maritial sex, and I really want to do it without anyone knowing :/

[emma1993]

I'm against it too but its sooooooo hard especially when you really like/love a person. I've been there and we never had sex: relationship just died...All I can say is if you do just make sure you have someone you can talk to that will support you...and make sure you're 100% certain on losing your virginity.

Either of those options will work. Planned Parenthood will prescribe birth control and everything will be private. You can get the pill there for as low as 5 dollars a month. That's probably more doable than faking period cramps.

Do they mail it though? cause my dad is my mailman and he will know... or can I just go there monthly and get it? Also, won't my mom notice that I'm not getting my period anymore?

[visualdeception]

You go there and pick it up. You can ask them not to mail anything to your house, ever, not even paperwork. You do still get your period, the pill doesn't stop that, it just stops ovulation. You definitely need some education about birth control. Go to Planned Parenthood, they will tell you everything you need to know.

I have never used birth control ever. Only the guy wearing condoms and I'm still doing just fine

Really? Do you have him pull out too just to be safe?
