I am just wondering...I am 17 and i have a beautiful 5 month old daughter named Emily. Emily is truly the best thing that has ever happend to my life and I have no regrets! Even though having her is a blessing...I have NO plans on having another child anytime soon. I am very scared to have sex with my boyfriend even with a condom..just the fear that I may get pregnant. I am really looking at getting on birth control pills soon. I am going to be a senior but I have a wonderful opportunity to start going to college classes and get high school and college credits for school this year for my RN degree. I really would like to get on birth control asap so I protect myself from getting pregnant and changing my life once again, especially since I am doing this college thing. I don't turn 18 until October. Is there any way that I could go on birth control without my parents finding out??? I would like some help please!!!

Also- I was late on my period by about a little over a week...then I got it really heavy. Theres not a chance I am pregnant again is there? I think my mind is tricking me!!

Any help or comments are greatly appreaciated!!! Very Happy

Why in the world would you have to hide going on the pill from your parents???? You have a 5 month old so they obviously know you've had sex. I would think that they would see that as a positive, mature effort on your part to take control of your life and body. Anyway, talk to your gyn or the ob/gyn that delivered your daughter. They should be able to help you, actaully, they should have talked to you about your plans for birth control at your 6 week check up after the baby was born. Good luck!

I had no intentions to have sex after I had my baby, I came to realize that sex doesnt have to be part in a relationship it's a choice...Recently I have choose to have sex again and I have been looking at different options. I don't want my parents to worry about me getting pregnant again....I am also Christian and raised in a Christian family. I feel more comfortable doing this on my own. Yes they would probably think that I am mature and responsible...and I definatly am....but I dont want them to think....is she having sex now....I wonder where they are...things like that.....I have now found my answers for my questions but thanx for your response!
