I’m not going to be sexually active, I just need to control when my period comes. I’m going on a two week vacation…I planned it around my period so I would just have finished it when I leave and it should start the week after I get back. I feel odd asking my mom for pills because I don’t want her to think anything. I’m convinced that she’s convinced that I have a “secret boyfriend” (she asked me a couple times) so I don’t want to…reestablish….that idea. So as a 16 year old, could I just go to a super market, get a pack, and go the the check-out yourself line and buy them?
No, you cannot. In the US, you need a prescription for birth-control pills. They’re only available through a doctor.
