Hi, @karina77 - you may have noticed I moved your post to this existing discussion you were participating in on the topic of birth control in the Women's Health group. I did this so that all the information you collect on this topic is in one place and so you can keep discussing with the same members.
Some of the members you've been speaking with here may have some input on how to handle the situation where your doctor suggests birth control would help lessen your increased chronic fatigue syndrome and orthostatic intolerance symptoms at menstruation, yet your mom would approve it and your dad would not. I'd also like to invite @webdog @kellye5 @susangs @oregongirl @sita into this conversation for their thoughts.
What I'd suggest, @karina77, is to talk with your doctor or the nursing staff in his or her office about your questions on whether one can get birth control without it showing up on bills or insurance, as well as your question on the best kind of birth control for lessening the symptoms of your CFS and orthostatic intolerance.
What does your mom suggest as far as how to proceed, @karina77?

Hi!
I will be honest, I haven’t exactly spoken to her about this yet. I know that she is more compassionate and more willing when it comes to making adjustments and trying things to help my health. Honeslty for whatever reason I am just terrified of facing her and telling that I want this. It’s kind of hard to go up to your parents and be like..”I need birth control!”. I was gonna text her and tell her what’s going on! But her phone unfortunately broke, so I couldn’t text her my thoughts. My doctor told me to speak with the gynecologist about this! I just have to set up and appointment and get there somehow and get what I need without it showing up on insurance.
