it's hard but try not to think about it. keep yourself busy with other things...studying, doing schoolwork, sports, friends...anything to keep yourself thinking about something else.
okay so today i wont up disappointed again...still no period. but ive taken 2 pregnancy test since the day of my missed period and this time i used a new brand first response its supposed too be 99% accurate. both can up negetive and very clear negetive. i think im stressing myself out and thats the reason im not getting it! how can i just calm down
not always. but weight gain can be a side affect of ANY b/c. i've never experienced it while on the pill. in fact i've been back on the pill (ortho tri cyclen) for 3 weeks and have lost some weight. while on mirena i gained 45 lbs. my mom was getting the depo shot and gained 60 lbs in one year, my friend was on the patch and gained 20. i had another friend who did gain weight on her pill. it just depends on your body and how it reacts. that's one thing that the counselors and docs/nurses at planned parent hood will do with you. they'll go over all the b/c options and what is best for YOU. they give you options and you can decide what you would like to do. they'll give you pamphlets and the knowledge to make an educated decision. they also follow up with you. (which they have ways to disguise themselves aka a certain name or something else you'll know but your parents won't)
okay thanks, i really feel i need to see a ob/gyn or some type of docter i can take to about these things its sometimes hard when ur 15 and you cant talk to u mom about these things thank you youve been very helpful. also is it true the pill makes u gain weight?
planned parenthood is great with questions like that. i actually went to one (my insurance lapsed and couldn't afford my usual ob/gyn) when i was having issues with my last b/c i went there (i had the mirena and sadly i was in the 5% it affects BADLY) to get it changed. it didn't cost me anything and i got on new b/c. they are all really nice, respectful and understanding.
thanks:) im so lost. i want to go on birth control pills i just dont no where or how to get them and what they'll do to my body! im trying to be responsible getting pregnant is the last thing i need
go to a clinic. one like planned parenthood can give you a pregnancy test and it can be completely confidential.
how can i get a blood test without my mom knowing
wait another week and retest. if it's negative and still no period get a blood test done.
