Okay so I have some questions regarding the birth control pill.



1. At 16 years old would I be able to go to Planned Parenthood without them contacting my parents and get on the Pill without them knowing?



2. Will it lower my monthly flow? (I have an extremelyyy heavy flow by the way so I'm wondering if it will help).



3. How do I ask my mom about going on it without her freaking out?



4. My periods vary from 26 days apart to 46 days apart... I'm extremely irregular. Will the pill help?

Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't really know the answers to your questions, but what I do know is if you live in the UK, you can see your GP (without parents knowing) and I think even under 16, you can get the Pill, but you should see your GP anyway to confirm. And I think it does lower monthly flow, I may have heard somewhere about people taking it just for the purpose of lowering flow, although once again, your GP can tell you more than I can
