i have my first serious serious bf, and yes it is amazing. but i feel a strong need to go on birthcontrol for both safety and convinience. my best friend is on the pill and although her rents know now they didn't for a while so i know that it is possible. However, I am on a lot of other medications for other things. The one for allergies and acne i think wil be fine; however, since i am hypothyroid i take a medication that basically serves as my thyroid. my endocrynologist does a blood test to check the dose of the medication every 6 months or so, and my mom writes down the numbers of the results. the doctor mentioned once that birthcontrol changes all of my numbers dramatically (from like 300 to 400), so she would have to change the dosage because of that. so if i go on the pill without my parents knowing i think my mom will find out because she will see the drastic change in numbers and ask my doctor why and the doctor can't lie can she? i also wanted to know how it comes up on the insurance because wouldn't my did see that too? So far the only conclusion is to tell me mom but i know thats not going to fly because then she will never leave me alone with my boyfriend and will always question where i'm going when i go out or sleep out. any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks ahead of time.~MJP.S.
