This is how I lost my health insurance 4 months ago, and somehow still have a couple weeks left of the 90 day supply of meds that I got right before losing insurance 😂
They're just warning him in a subtle way that you're a slut. The boyfriend gets the message even if you don't. Parents will warn guys not to date their daughters in less obvious ways like that
Nothing else at all plus of course who knows with these medications they sometimes turn out to have additional unexpected desirable effects, I mean hypothetically.
My friend literally spent his allowance for birth control pills for his girl. Probably a more economically responsible thing compared to his regular valorant spending.
@humanbeingdood WHY shouldn't he? YOU KNOW the other option is he can get a reversible vasectomy. Then in a few years, he can get it reversed when he's financially able to start a family. You'll be able to be out playing tennis in 3 days... Not even kidding you. #NYGenXBIKERLady
My mum is the one who suggested I go on the pill in the first place because my periods were so heavy and irregular. Also I have intense anxiety which the period hormones only seemed to make worse, so here have the pill sweetie that should stop the blood ruining your pants and the intense cramps. Also iron supplements because you’re deficient. She fought tooth and nail for me to get the help I needed just like she always has (eg: annoyed my towns school board into getting off their asses and organising my move to a special needs school because between bullying and no real support I wasn’t anywhere near where I should have been academically despite natural academic skill being the singular bonus I got with the autism package.) and I don’t think I could have ever gotten a better person in my corner for that. I genuinely think it’s so important to remember that while the pills use as a contraceptive is important it’s not JUST a contraceptive. It’s a life improving measure for so many people who deal with horrible symptoms and side effects from periods all the time.
Birth control has some stupid stigma around it for older doctors for some reason. They'll try anything before recommending birth control. I know someone who had to take several doses of painkillers throughout the day to deal with irregular period pains and cramps , and it barely even did anything, making her miss school due to immense pain. Then one doctor was just like, "Oh, what she needs is birth control". Fixed the issue instantly, stopped taking it after a few cycles, problems were gone.
I don't want to intrude, but if you haven't already, it could be a good thing to test for endometriosis, which can lead to similar symptoms (they vary according to the person and the intensity of the disease but they include : heavy flow, intense cramps, pain during sex, digestive problems etc.). Hope you are okay :) And I'm sorry people have not listened to your pain ; women's plain unfortunately tends to be dismissed...
I'm glad you have a supportive mom. As a fellow ND person, I would suggest going to the Dr, telling them your concerns, and having a full blood panel to check for vitamin deficiencies before you just start popping pills. Maybe some things will come back that you weren't expecting. It's so easy to go the hyperfocus-super research route with this, but the evidence is in your bloodwork. And it can save you money if you only need a multivitamin. 😂 And even if you have endo, they would only diagnose it surgically. You can check things out like the diet made for endometriosis, try it for a bit, see if it improves anything, then report that back to the Dr. Best of luck!
I have PMDD and would have killed myself thrice without hormone support via “birth control” - I’d actually like to have a baby but that’s not really on the table via mental health disaster exhibit A
I can’t even imagine having to ask my parents for that. In my country it’s free for anyone. Even if you under the age of 16 (age of consent) you can get it without informing your parents/guardians. It is confidential unless the doctor or nurse is concerned about your safety.
I'm so glad my gyno recommended I went on birth control instead asking myself. I wanted it because my periods were extremely painful but they wouldn't have believed me since I actually did have a boyfriend 😅
I remember reading in a magazine all the reasons girls go on birth control (this was a long time ago lol) so when I had my gyno appointment I made sure to tell her I had all those things so she would recommend it to me because I knew my parents would flip tf out otherwise. I’m sure they still knew I was obviously having sex with my boyfriend but it just made it a lot easier 😮💨
Hey here’s food for thought. My wife had really painful periods and a lot of docs just wanted to give her birth control. She didn’t go on it. We went and found out she had endometriosis. She had surgery, and her periods are better. Long story short birth control is a band aid on a bullet hole and can change your hormones and how your body delivers them, so when get off the symptoms come back or having children is difficult.
@@marchendricks They did an ultrasound to look for endometriosis before prescribing birth control. I was only on it for 6 months. The extreme pain has only happened a handful of times since coming off of it, which was 7 years ago. My periods have always been irregular including when I was on birth control. I've had my hormones checked twice since and everything came back normal. It's rare for hormonal birth control to cause permanent fertility issues. Even if it did, I want back on it because I don't want kids. TLDR: I'll take the band aid since I don't know where my bullet hole is lol
I had to get it because my cycle was nearly killing me every month and I almost lost an ovary to an oversized cyst. My mom completely understands that bc is just hormone control at the end of the day but my dad and grandparents were suspicious when I started. I’m a massive virgin. I just don’t want to suffer for 8 days out of every month. My quality of life has improved 👍
I started it because my periods were super heavy and irregular, and I ended up becoming anemic (iron deficiency anemia) and I had to get an iron infusion. It's medication, just like any other medication.
i got on the pill when i had a boyfriend last year, and not only did it give me peace of mind, but also cleared up my facial acne, and made my periods pretty much go away (i never had awful ones but the first few days were pretty bad). while i did notice i gained weight, that's probably because i went to college, ate lots stopped exercising, and am growing up (so metabolism slows down). it can have a lot of benefits, though i know why people might be hesitant
Side note, it's insane that parents think that not being on birth control will stop teenagers from having sex. And even if they don't plan on it, it's still better safe than sorry, no?
Lmao my mom told me when I was 14 and not thinking about sex at all, insisted on me being prepared and getting on it incase i want to one day. I was so embarrassed and told her absolutely not and threw a fit, she then came back with it helps with other things like shorter and lighter periods, less acne, and less cramping, and helps with migraines😂 her ad compain was im not being a young grandma😂 i should have been so greatful she was so supportive but if i would have said yes in my mind i felt like she would think i was doing the deed and i was just too embarrassed to have her think that. I didnt even have boyfriends like that. But when i got a tad but older and wanted to be on it i went to my aunt😅 because i still didnt want my mom to know and i lied to her saying it was because i wanted those side benefits and begged her not to tell my mom. My mom definitely knew but they were both cool about it pretending like thats what it was about😂
Cool, enjoy your 67% chance of ovarian cancer and your similar chance of breast cancer. You could also, like you know, keep your pants on and actually take care of yourself with natural stuff. But hey your body your cancer just don't ask taxpayers for help.
Ngl makes me happy my mom understood how bad my periods were so it was never an issue asking for the pill. Not on it anymore as it made me INSANE. Got an IUD and now that shit doesnt happen anymore. Also, Grace as a mom is exactly what I needed xD
I was going to comment this. I know it's a skit, but are there people who have parents like this? I feel so horrible for them. People are so uneducated about birth control. It's not just for teens having s*x, it's also an amazing thing that can alleviate cramps. I had such bad cramps I would miss work and school because I could hardly move, and I'd bleed through stuff all the time. It was horrible. Ever since I got on the pill (I'm on a certain type that stops my period altogether unless I stop taking it) I've been so much better and happier. I can't imagine if I had parents who told me no because they thought it was for the wrong reasons? I was in so much pain before. That's so awful.
@@abbyz9790I'm asexual and I've taken the pill for years because of my horrible periods as well. It always weirds me out when I see parents tellings their children that they can't take birth control because they don't want them having sex. They always say they are lying when they say it's for something else.
@@FishGup or because birth control is unnecessary. It's been proven to also cause several types of cancer in women. That's why women ages 50+ are getting reproductive cancer at higher rates. Nope. She can take it when she is 18 and no longer living in my house.
Be glad that she’s asking honestly, strict parents that refuse to help their kids because of their personal beliefs end up in the exact situations they wanted to avoid.
Wish I could relate. My mom forced me to take birth control when I was 14. I didn't even loose my virginity till 17 and it made me have hormonal weight gain, by like 120 lbs heavier
I was on the pill before I got a boyfriend when I was a teenager. It did help with bad periods but not my acne. 😢 Also, when i did get a boyfriend it was very nice. I got to a point where I didn't have periods anymore which actually was quite amazing. You just had to remember to get your refills or shot every three months which was a drag. Haha. Then my husband and I decided to have a baby and then I realized that getting my fertility back was going to take a while and getting irregular periods was not super fun as an adult woman... also hormones totally change. Going back on birth control made me feel so weird that I just got off it again and went natural. 😅 Sex education is key and know your options!
As a guy, I'd never jack with my hormones to get around having to wear a condom, it's a real wonder to me that women are willing to do it. But I guess children shouldn't be expected to know any better.
"No! I don't have any plans on having seggs anytime soon, I don't wanna have seggs" *slaps face lightly* "this is for my acne." the way she says it so casually is ridiculously convincing and funny XD
I did want to go on the pill to help manage my intense period pain that felt like my bones were breaking and had spread to most of my body, but I never had the guts to ask despite having come out as lesbian not too long before
Y'all get the implant (3 to 4 yers) or shot (every 3 months) if you can. Shot got rid of my period. Implant is good if you struggle with appointments! Makes my period lighter and shorter (took it away for the first year).
It also has more risks. Don't suggest shit that you don't know. If you want some that has been known to travel to an important part of your body 60% of the time go ahead but stop telling people to get it.
@tysedai8913 Really? They must not take into account the fact that 4 in every 20 women or girls have it happen. Or that it again causes cancer 97% of the time. Have fun with your cancer.
If you need birth control your parents won’t agree on the basis of it being birth control, 100% say it’s to help with your acne, your pms, your period, or anything else that can be changed by birth control. Protection is so so important if you’re not wanting to conceive!! That being said, still use condoms. Any form of birth control CAN fail.
Set an alarm years ago when i first started birth control and refuse to turn it off so now it is just my 9 o clock alarm that lets us know whne it is 9 pm
If you don't accaly wont the pill for acne ore period problems. Then you have to explain way you won't the pill even though you don't have sex and that's just as hard.
As an asexual, I have used birth control before I had any relation and during one (Not all aces are sex repulsed. I am not aro, had a good relationship with an allosexual person for whom I didn't mind, I was just not sexually attracted to them) If you don't need it - great! But there can be other reasons apart from babies.
This is why I have the nexplanon 😅 I am on my 4th one since highschool. I take about 30 meds for other heath disorders, but with my ADHD, and how often I go "Crap I forgot to take my meds this morning" which is at least once a week, it would not go well. In highschool it deffinetly would have went poorly as I was very irresponsible then and would have toatly forgot 😅
