robinmarie43: It is the alternative to the daily pill. They go in and get a shot once every 3 months vs taking the pill (and forgetting). I keep a close eye on those dates, don't want a coulda woulda shoulda moment.


thumbs up Ok RM..............get you now............

I never heard of it and am wondering whether its available here. I should think so.

And I agree with the Coulda shoulda woulda..........laugh

Her father was deceased.
vinny1967: Was her Father involved in the decision ?

Just wondering and I'm sorry if I'm asking something that may be touchy.

And I agree, its not a license........

vinny1967: Ta D...........

We always spoke to them openly and honestly and it has paid off......


That's what I'm doing with my sons, and it's paying off on my end as well. I've made it clear that no subject is off limits between us. thumbs up

When I was a teenager my parents insisted I go on the pill. I had never thought of it until they brought up the subject. My Dad was the one who actually talked to me about it.

I commend you for discussing it with your daughter and ex. Open and honest communication between the three of you only helps strengthen bonds you have with your child.

Moral questions aside, the health issue and the ability to build such a strong trust in one another are greatly enhanced by your openly discussing this with her. Plus by imparting your views on the moral aspect (as YOU see it) gives her more to think of in regards to the emotional aspect of the choices she makes.

Kudos to you Vinny. What a way to be accessible to your daughter.

And good for you and her Mom; shows you did a great job raising her and are there for her!

I am hopeful she is also versed in STD's, which the pill won't protect her from.

While pregnancy was paramount in our minds due to our History we spoke in depth to her about STD's and advised the risks......

Simulpostagasm. laugh

Good thing hoodies are so cool to wear! Good soldiers always wear their helmets.

Still, I am impressed with the openess you and ex have with her. No wonder she is a mature young lady.

Cheers. cheers

vinny1967: Ok............I have been thru this recently and wanted to see other peoples opinions on this.

I have a 17 year old daughter and she is on the Contraceptive Pill for nearly a year now.

It is not something that just happened. Myself and My ex wife and our daughter discussed it in depth for a couple of months before decinding that it was the correct thing to do.

Please Discuss.........

What would you have done.........


Yes absolutely you did the right thing. Would you have preferred her regnant? There was another lady on here that got her 13 year old on BC. You have to do what is appropriate to prevent pregnancy and STD.

dcj22: I agree that he made the right choice. If you read my previous comments, you'll see that and that I feel comfortable that my daughter will come to me when the time is right.


Yes I would not put my child (if I had any) on BC just for the hell of it or to control acne. There would have to be something going on in her life that I felt was a cause for concern. Interest in boys etc...I would not necessarily trust a child to come to me but you know your kids the best of course.

Hi Krisma,

Ta for that...............I was hoping more men would respond as , from my experience, you Ladies are much more practical when it comes to daughters.
I just found the thoughts of it abhorrent as my princess is growing up .............crying

Such is life tho.............wine
