No, you can get the Birth Control pill if you're younger than 16 as well. There really are no age limits.
There is no special pill for 16 year olds. In general, all combination birth control pills decrease menstrual flow and cramps. Some are in specially designed packages to reduce the number of periods, but any monophasic birth control pill can be used this way. Talk with your health care provider about options.
depends what country you live in.. where i am from you must be 16 years of age to get birth control without a parent, if you have a parent with you they should give you the birth control pill any time after you have had your first period
If you are over the age of 16 you don't need parental consent for birth control in South Carolina.
It shouldn't have any effect on your periods. You could be under stress or if you are between the ages of 12 - 16 it's not uncommon to miss several periods. If you go on the birth control pill this can cause this as well and it can happen if you go off the birth control pill. If it continues please see your doctor.
Birth control pills - and other birth control options - are usually sold in pharmacies.
yea I'm on my second month of birth control and i was bleeding the whole first month. I'm on my second week now and it's fine
In the US you will need parental permission in most states to get the birth control pill. In all states do you need parental consent to get the morning after pill since you are below 17.Other countries have different ages of consent anddifferent rules governing contraception. Your local pharmacy, family planning clinic or school nurse will explain the local rules to you.
How old do u have to be to take birth control pills?my cousin is 14 and she takes birth control...so i know you can take it at that age.
If you take them properly, they are pretty effective. But you should know that Birth control pills can be ineffective if you: # do not take the pill at the pill at the same time every night # use anti-biotics while on birth control # take other medications (including some natural supplements/vitamins) that have not been approved with your doctor while on birth control # miss a pill # are not on the pill for 30 days before having "unprotected" sex # are not on the pill for 30 days before having "unprotected" sex after switching brands of birth control * Intrauterine birth controls such as the Nuva Ring, and other IUD's can slip out of place * Condoms can break and semen can leak though. It is important not to use two condoms at once because the extra friction between the two condoms can cause them to rip.
A parent can't force a 16 year old in Alabama to take birth control. Before deciding whether to take or not take birth control, you should talk to your mom to find out what your mom's concerns are. Birth control pills not only help in preventing pregnancy, but regulates your period, and can also make it lighter.
Almost everyone has a period and there are certain types of birth control that can lengthen the time between each of your periods, but there is one birth control that can completely eliminate your period. Its called the Depo-Provera shot. My friend, her mom and I all get the shot and we all stopped having a period. The nurse told us it was one of the possible side affects which was the only reason I got on it. You get the shot every 3 months and you don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday which is great. I've been on this birth control for about 2 months and I haven't had one since I got the shot. Sometimes birth control doesn't go over so well with parents but you can go to your local Planned Parenthood and get the shot by donation for very little cost, you may go by yourself once you are 16. This way it is discreet and if your not ready to tell your parents you want to get on it, you don't have to. Hope this helped :)
