Jennifer K asked:


i’m 18 and i’m not on birth control yet. but i will be getting on in within the next 2 weeks. just wanted to find out some info before i go to the doctor. when i start taking my birth control, do you have to wait a couple days to let it start working before you can have unprotected ***? and also, i don’t want my mom knowing just yet that i’m getting on bc, so if i go to planned parenthood, do they give it to you without needing your personal home info and stuff?? just curious.

Lily’s Maa-ma! asked:


I plan to go on birth-control immediately after I have my daughter (esp. since they say it’s really easy to get pregnant within a year of having your first, so I wont take any chances). What birth control methods are safe? What pills? What about depo-provera, or the shot? Or the patch? I plan to discuss this with my OB at my next appointment but I just want some ideas now. Any suggestions/knowledge?

wubback asked:


I’ve been given Tri-Sprintec because my first birth control I was given is slightly rare–What is the best birth control with fewest side effects? I’ve heard of birth control side effects being gain of water weight, increased or suppressed appetite, etc. Does anyone know if Tri Sprintec has these as side effects? And what birth control wouldn’t have weight gain as a side effect?

How much will my birth control cost without using my insurance?

S W asked:


I’m currently on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo birth control. I’ve heard it can be expensive. I need to put in my prescription soon but i don’t want to use my insurace because i’m under my parents. If i do use my insurance, will my parents find out about the birth control? Or would it be possible to use my boyfriends insurance to cover my birth control? If there is anyone taking the same brand of BC as me, could you let me know how much you pay and whether or not you use insurance.

Thanks so much!
