There is no age limit. Some young girls use them for medical reasons unrelated to Birth Control. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.
Our family doctor put my 12 year old daughter on BCP, not for prevention of pregnancy but to control her period.

∙ 13y agoThere is no "minimum age" per se to be prescribed contraceptives. Certain medications that are not oral contraceptives (Depo-Provera, NuvaRing, IUD's) may not have been studied in very young patient populations, however oral contraceptives have been used in pre-teenage patients to aid in relieving symptoms of PMS in early menarche (first menstrual period), headache mitigation, acne control, and other conditions other than the traditional "contraceptive" effect/stigma that goes along with oral contraceptive pills (OCP's). Consult your physician if you have questions regarding initiating OCP therapy. Usually the barrier to therapy is that young patients (say, under 16 years of age) will not have access to their physician without their parent's knowledge. Some parents will have reservations about their young daughter going "on the pill" because of the social stigma that girls on OCP's are sexually active. This is not the case and should be addressed in the physician's office if any concerns regarding their use exist.

∙ 12y agoIt's different in different states. I think in most places it's 16 without a parent and anything below you have to have parental permission. Some places it's 18.

∙ 12y agoThere's no particular age. Some girls go on birth control pills as young as 12 or 13, even if they haven't had sex, to control problems with periods.

They will give you the pills at a VERY reduced cost (based on your income). Check the phone book for a Planned Parenthood clinic near you.
