so i JUST posted something in a different place but now new issues have come up. im trying to start birth control but im on a medication that causes interactions and i would either have to get a copper iud (which i dont want) or be heavily monitored by a doctor. i don’t really want to tell my mom cause i feel like it’ll cause issues and i wont be able to see my bf, but if medical issues could arise i feel like i need to be open and figure out what would be best. or should i just skip birth control and rely on condoms? im nervous about that cause there’s a better chance that something won’t work or it’s not as protective so im unsure of what to do.
