I've always been really good at remembering mine Kerry but Emily can be a bit of a div........

My sister had the Depo too and she was fine so Emily might be lucky and have no effects......her periods have been regular and easy like mine too but you never know.....

at div!! Im the same!! Then I had the depo and came off of it and was crap at taking the pill (sometimes missing days at a time) and fell pregnant 12 months later!!

I wonder if chastity belts affect your periods..........a better option me thinks......

its really hard one lisa i know exactly how you feel, rosie is 14 and since we had rhys i swear she's regressing lol, she has resorted to stamping her feet to get what she wants and i cant help but laugh.
i let her watch the sex v porn programme that was on and i was asking her questions she knew all the answers, if i try have and have a direct conversation with her i get a look of disgust and tells me to shuttup lol, so i try the indirect approach.
the thing is getting a balance as soon as rosie thinks i'm lecturing her she shuts up, she also has limits on msn she dropped her laptop last week and broke it, and to be fair she's been alot more pleasant to be with, spend more time on the internet than her now.
i think i will put er on the depo jab if she's suitable and i will take her till she's 18, i has her at 17 and i hope she realises what she missed out on, i tell her education is the most important thing right now, goodness the arguements we had over choosing gcse's she told the teacher she wanted to be a wag lol she was joking though.

i've wrapped rosie up a bit too much i think cos she's epileptic but hasnt had a seizure for a yr so has been given longer curfew's which she breaks and ends up grounded lol.
i record all the conversations and have checked a few. but luckily never found anything too bad. she had her phone took off her at xmas for making 2800 texts in november. it cost her grandad nearly £200 she had a contract phone but abused it totally she has to pay for her credit now lol.

I was 18 when i got it in. It all depends on the person as to how it affects your periods, i had nearly non in the 2 and a half years i gad mine it. It was a but uncomrotable when getting it in and out but nothing to bad

hi my girl is 13 although she isn't active yet we have talkied about depo but were told nit till she was 18 for some reason cause my thought is while they are young they may forget to take it !! im thinking put her on something when she turns 14 to make sure she is safe !

I went on the pill when I was 15... was on it until I was nearly 19, but fell pregnant on it even though I took it at the same time everyday (reminded via cell phone alarm at the time I got pregnant)... I always used condoms also but the one time we didn't... lol

oh how i wished i would have had a mum like you!

when i asked my mum would she come to drs with me to get the pill sorted (not for sex itself... although i was sexually active, but for a festival i was going to i was due on and didn't want to be feeling dirty and yuck kwim? with there being no (proper) showers) and she said no i was too young. weather she thought it was for other reasons i don't know? but if she would havecome with me then i'm sure my 1st pregnancy wouldn't have happened. at that age i was too young to really know what happens with the pill etc and the effects hormonal contraception has on your body and now that i do know i think it's strange and worrying, not natural to me kwim? but at that age, it would have been all i'd have known if that makes sense, so normal kwim?

also, if my mum was more open about sex/contraception i'm sure my 16yo sister wouldn't have just chucked her life away by getting pregnant (apparently she's around 26weeks preg)

so from my point of view i think you are def going the right way about it! better for you to embarass her than her tothrow her life away.

Kayleigh has just turned 16 and hasn't yet had a steady boyfriend. She's had bf's that have lasted a week or so, but nothing longer. I found condoms in her room months ago, but they turned out to be her friends.

I am considering going with her to the doctors to ask her to be put on the pill due to her having excrutiating heavy periods.

You do sound like you are a very switched on person, and open and honest with her. Go with your instincts hun, they've worked so far with her.
