I want to know if I can go on birth control without my parents knowing. Because I have a period two times a month and it gets extremely annoying. They think I want to go on it for my boyfrienfs sake but I really just need it for the periods and cramps . I am 17 and I don t drive so the only way icould go to a doctor is my parents.

Hello,

You are suffering from irregular period and there are several reasons to be ruled out before taking any type of birth control pill. These include hormonal imbalance, uterine pathology, stress/anxiety, thyroid problem, wt gain/ extreme loss, irregular eating habits etc.

Therefore, I suggest to consult with gynecologist for relevant investigation like USG abdomen and other hormone assay etc. After that, you can take hormonal pill to regularize your period. Also, you need to inform your parents regarding this.

Avoid stress, take healthy diet with Vitamin & iron supplements, control body wt and need proper sleeping.

Be well.
