“THE TALK 2.0”

  • Good news: there are a lot of birth control options out there. Help her understand how different birth control methods work before she talks to her healthcare provider to find the one for her. Need a refresher on what’s available these days? Read up on some quick facts here.
  • Encourage her to double-date—on protection. Since the Pill doesn’t protect against HIV or STDs, condoms are a must too!
  • Been there, done that? Don’t be shy about TMI—tell her about your experiences, and the choices (even the mistakes) you’ve made.

HOW TO
APPROACH
THE CONVERSATION

Keeping an open dialogue with your daughter is important, and that can include having an open-minded conversation about pregnancy prevention.

  • Talk about birth control sensibly and openly
  • Answer questions honestly, even if the conversation gets uncomfortable
  • Don’t be afraid to ask her questions about how she feels
  • Be supportive of her choices—what works for you may not work for her

GETTING
BIRTH CONTROL

Ultimately, her doctor will help her decide which birth control option is right for her. Schedule an appointment and help her prepare. Here’s how:

  • Offer to take her to her appointment—she might want you there, she might not
  • Encourage her to see her doctor every year
  • Help her select a list of questions to download and take with her

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR MOM ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL

If birth control is on your mind, chances are your mom is thinking about it for you too—especially if you’re actively dating.

  • Do your research. There are many available birth control options to consider. List the pros and cons of each and ask your mom to share her opinion.
  • Kick off the conversation with a little humor—make her comfortable by acknowledging how uncomfortable this topic is.
  • Ask about her own experiences when she was your age. What’s her birth control story?
  • Ultimately, it’s all about adulting, so reinforce the fact that you want to do the responsible thing and actively try to protect your health and your future.
