Someone, please help. I'm on birth control but...


Quote  |  Reply

My mom doesn't know that. She got it for me on the pretext of four periods a year (Seasonique if you were wondering) but insisted that I stop because she re thought it. Obviously, she doesn't know I've continued taking it, and I'm starting to worry about the pain in my right leg. It's been nagging at me all day, and showed up yesterday.

Well, apparently there's a small chance I might have a blood clot. Which would suck. Is there any way for me to get checked out without her knowing? If she finds out I've continued taking it, she'll figure out why, and I don't even want to think about what would happen then.

Is there anything I can do to keep myself healthy until my next doctor visit?

could you possibly go to a women's clinic type place?
y'know, those places that give birth control for free or low cost or whatever..
because they could probably give you a check up anonymously and tell you about that pain
I'm willing to bet that your mother knows both that a) you're still taking birth control and b) you're having sex.  Mothers aren't stupid.  Suggest you talk to her on both counts... approach it maturely and she may not be too happy about it but she'll be more likely to take you seriously...  Skulk around like a naughty schoolgirl and you deserve to be treated like one.

In the meantime, don't stop taking the pills but do make an appointment to see your doctor urgently.   

Just tell you mom.  She won't be half as mad as you think.  If you do have a blood clot it is her insurance that will have to pay for it.  You might as well get it over with now.  DO NOT KEEP THIS FROM YOUR MOTHER!
