Okay so for an update and advice to future girls about getting on birth control if you want to be safe but telling your mother is a serious problem.

I got on birth control by asking her "how to regulate my period and lessen the flow" and *she* recommended birth control. Then I just sounded hesitant and acted concerned about gaining weight from it (a myth) and then it seemed like it was all entirely her idea and she scheduled me for a doctor's appointment. Also, I really played up the PMS cravings and cramps prior to asking about my period. Made it seem like it was really making me genuinely miserable.

Thanks for all of the advice! <3
