writes:Okay, I'm 15 and me and my boyfriend have been having sex for over 6 months. Before I had sex my periods were slightly out of time but I still had one every month, but since I started having sex, my periods have become worse and sometimes I completely miss a period.In January, the condom split and I had to take the morning after pill. Then in February, my period was really early and I just thought that was because of the pill, but I haven't had one this month.I've spoken to my mum about it but she says she won't let me go on the pill because it's an invitation to have sex [she doesn't know I've had sex]. I don't wanna go behind her back and take the pill, but I don't wanna have completely messed up periods. Is there any other way of getting regular periods and if so, what are they?? If there isn't any other way, should I just go behind my mum's back and take the pill??xXx

 I think you should make an appointment with your doctor and go on the Pill. If you're mature enough to be in a committed sexual relationship, you're mature enough to take responsibility. It's good that you're using birth control with your boyfriend, keep it up! At the end of the day your mother wouldn't be happy if she knew you were sexually active, but she'd be a lot less happy if you came to her and told her you were pregnant.

 Lordy, girl...your mum trusts you and now you've messed up.
When she finds out you've betrayed her trust, she's going to be heartbroken. Well, don't have sex anymore until you get your ducks in a row. I mean, I made the mistake of not going on the pill and four months later, I got pregnant. At least you are taking precautions, but you are awfully young.
Fact is, you've gone behind her back and had sex, so why not take the pill now??? What a mess...I mean, what's worse, telling her you're pregant or that you're having sex? Jeesh, honey. Get with the program. Be responsible.

 Having sex won't make your periods irregular - has nothing to do with it. In fact, having sex is kind of healthy. I think you should go to see your doc (without your Mum) and explain about the slight irregularity (and yes, that morning after pill will have mucked things around), and see what he/she says. I think you'd be safer on the pill, if you're having regular sex. And you haven't had a period this month. Sure you're not pregnant? Worth checking.
I think if your Mum knew you were having sex, she'd rather you were protected on the pill. The thing that would freak her out is the sex. So actually, while your still avoiding telling her about the sex, better to be on the pill. I'd ask the doctor about it when your there. Your mum wd be even more freaked out if you had to say you were pregnant, don't you think?

yes, you can try herbal remdies, cause the caused of your naff periods could just be stress through going behind your moms back, you seem close to her by the way you dont want to lie to her, so just try and stay calm be happy, and the pill might make it better, but i reconmend it as a contracepticve as well as a condom. Just try to stay calm and take some natural remdies, you can find out which ones help by googling natural remedies for periods. Hope it helped, emily
