Should I get Birth Control? Please help?
I'm 17 years old, before you say that's probably to young for sex or I should wait for marriage, I respect your opinion.
Me and my boyfriend are sexually active we use protection (condom) but I wanted to give birth control a try, I just heard things about gaining weight, getting acne, and such things like that. Can I get them without a parent knowing? I'd appreciate to read about any experiences with birth control. Thank you!

You should be able to get them from a womens clinic or Planned Parenthood In your area. Yes, there are a lot of issues that can come along with birth control. You should read up on different types talk to a doctor about it. And anyone you know on BC ask then what types of side affects if any they have had. Some women like myself whom have used birth control in the past did gain weight, I was on Depo. But I didn't get prego. That was 20-26. But Now in my mid 30's no BC. I Use other methods. Deposit did help regulate my periods and also shortened them. When I was ready to get pregnant I had no issues. Hope this helps.

You can and should get free birth control counseling without your parents knowledge or consent at your local county health department or Planned Parenthood.

First keep calm. We all have been there.
Why would you risk more, when you are already using condoms? They are not 100% yeah but you can always predict the climax.
