1. The pill should help you out. I know that I got on the pill for my irregularity as well and to help the flow and it worked wonders. Weight gain is one of the side effects of the birth control pill, but it doesn't mean you'll get it. Talk to the doctor or nurse who is prescribing the medication about any potential side effects. I know my doctor checked things like my blood pressure out for a bit after to make sure everything was all set.

2. It's really up to you whether or not you want to tell your mother. Get educated a bit on the pill first and explain the reason why you feel you should go on the pill and the symptoms that you're going through if you think she'll be hesitant.

3. I agree with what was said about being honest. Just be honest about the symptoms and reasons why you want to go on birth control. Stay calm while you talk to her and it may help if she is in a relatively good mood.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
