Default How can I get on birth control without my parents knowing in the state of il? - 12-16-2008, 08:45 AM

Well me and my friend who is 15 were talking about being put on birth control with out our parents finding out. not because we are ready to have sex but because of what else the pill can do like help with cramps and long periods ect. Thats mostly the reason why and maybe if we are planning on having sex we would want to be protected ect. I was also wondering how much does the pill cost and what are the questions the clinic will ask you when you go to get birth control and please don't tell me that I shouldn't need birth control because at least I'm being responsible.well that is the reason its just that my mom wouldn't understand and i saw that the pill does treat cramps and shorten period. I mean i would tell her but i dout that she would let me.

If that's the real reason you want birth control, then why don't you want your parents to know? And why don't you want use to tell you that you shouldn't be on birth control? I doubt that's the real reason..but just tell them and your family doctor can help you out.

You're still a minor, and doctors can't treat you without your parents consent.

Go to the free clinic...they are listed in the phone book...but if you want to be a mature you lady tell your parents they will be proud to know that you care about there opinion when it comes to important subjects such your body.

The pill helping with cramps is a myth. They don't. As for shortening periods, that is untrue as well.The pill is very expensive if you're not on medical insurance, however, clinics like Planned Parenthood have a sliding pay scale. The best place to go would be Planned Parenthood.When you go to a clinic for birth control pills, they will ask you questions about your medical history, your periods, and if you're sexually active. Then they will give you a pelvic exam. You can't get the pill without a pelvic exam first, then you must have one every six months.

planned parenthood wont tell your parents anythign as long as you can pay for the birth control. It'll be about 20 bucks a pack if you're under 18.
