Well I'm 14 and I previously asked my mom about going on the pill so I didn't have to deal with periods and she said no. But lately they have been becoming unmanageable and irregular. Also, cramps have gotten so bad it's often hard to focus in school. My mom said that the pill messes up chances of getting pregnant in the future. But im 14... I don't have to worry about that! Any suggestions on how to persued her to let me go on the pill? Or.. is there any way to get it without her knowing???

Ask your mom to take you to the doctor. The doctor can explain various options to deal with your symptoms and talk to her about those options. The pill absolutely does not make it harder to get pregnant later, and the doctor could reassure her about that. There can be side effects from birth control pill though, and they may not be the best thing to do about your cramps, which is why you need to see what a doctor says about your problems.

While you could go to Planned Parenthood and get the pill, your best thing to do is talk to your mom. The pill is expensive to pay for, and sooner or later she might realize you're taking it, so it's best to be honest with her instead of sneaking around.
