Most likely yes. I had bad periods as a
teenager and as soon as I went on the pill
they got 100% better. I understand your
mom is scared, but she really needs to
look at the big picture. It could help
you so much. If she will not let you,
then have your doctor talk to her about
it. Birth control pills are for so much
more then just to prevent pregnancy.
They help with a lot of other things too.

I Think It Will. Posted: 03-17-04 01:48am
My sister started her period early in life
like at the age of 10/11 and she started
using the pill at the age of 13/14. She
had cramps so bad that she would nearly
pass out, but soon as she got on it after
a month or so, it fixed her up a lot! But
then... She was on bc so long that
eventually she had to up her dosage and
get a new prescription.

After I was on the pill for about five
years, I also had to have mine changed.
Hormones change in your body with time and
your body can also get used to the
hormonal levels in one pill, so you may
have to change at some point. But you
will know when this happens as you start
to breakthrough bleed and feel
differently.
But yeah, it is definately worth a try!

Well, like I said before have your doctor
tell her. I mean your doctor already
recommended it for your bad periods right?
Then the next time you go, ask your
doctor to explain that to your mother.
Or depending on your location, I know here
in pa, we have family planning. They
don't even need parental permission and
will not tell your parents. Ideally, just
explain to your mother that your doctor
told you that it should help and you
looked up information on the internet and
found that it has helped a lot of people.
Then you can tell her and not have to
hide it. But, if she absolutely will not
agree then try a clinic. I think she
would rather you put yourself on the pill
then get pregnant! And, I don't think
she wants you to suffer each month either.
Good luck.

If you don't want your mom to know, go to
planned parenthood. That is where I went
when my mom refused to put me on the pill.
It is completely confidential and very
easy to do.

You Don't Have to Even Tell Your Mom! Posted: 04-02-04 15:22pm
You don't even have to tell your mom!
Planned parenthood or the doctor you
usually go to can put you on the pill and
not be allowed to tell your mother! It's
doctor patient privileges....
It's always nice to have your mothers
support, because sometimes by knowing what
pill works for your mother will help
determine the right pill for you. Also,
just having family support is nice. Try
to reason with your mother and provide her
with positive facts about the pill that
she might not know herself. Show her you
are responsible about taking the pill, by
starting out taking vitamins at the same
time every day. But if that doesn't work,
it doesn't sound like your mothers
supporting to you too much.
If you decide to go on birth control give
the it three months to get rid of your
camps! The first month, there was no
difference in m camps , but by the third
month, I was completely cramp free!
