How to get BC.. posted on wrong board b4
| Mon, 08-02-2004 - 12:23am |
Hi guys. I'm just wondering if there are any websites you can order birth control from. If there's not I am planning on going to a planned parenthood clinic, but it's kind of far from here and I can't go to the doctor because my mom would know.. and I don't want her to know that I'm taking BC. Anyways, if you know of any websites or anything, please let me know. Thanks a lot! :)

I too would recommend doing what you need to do for your health, and deal with the consequences of your mom knowing that you're going to the doctor. If you're mature enough to have sex, you're mature enough to talk to your parents about it, right? It might be uncomfortable, but I have more than one friend who has a family history of blood clots (which means you're not supposed to take the pill) and didn't find out about it until AFTER talking to other family members. Sometimes the subject just doesn't come up, you know?
Planned Parenthood and public health clinics often have the pill at reduced prices (when compared to regular pharmacies), and mail-order through insurance is another option if transportation is an issue, but I'd stay away from the internet.
Good luck!
Co-cl for Birth Control
You’re asking about hormonal birth control (pill, patch, ring and shot) right? You should go to Planned Parenthood as it's important that you have a doctor give you an exam and you will need a prescription. It may be a hassle getting to PP but it's for your own safety that you should be seen by a doctor before starting hormonal contraceptives. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
