I am 18 years old but I'm on my parents insurance!. I want the birth control pill for its obvious use and hopefully to help my acne problem!.

Answers:
They can't legally tell your parents, you're an adult!. The visit to Planned Parenthood might show up as a bill on your parents' insurance, if you do it through insurance!. So don't do it that way--pay it yourself!. It won't show up in a blood test unless they specifically test your blood for female hormones, which they have no reason to do!. And in any case, your parents can't see your medical records, because you're not a minor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I do not think so, and tell your parents that your period is acting irregular and do research with them to find a good birth control pill for you!. It's a way where they know you are on it, and you are not upsetting them with the reason why you are using it!. You are 18, legally an adult so sex is understandable but still - be careful, wear a condom, and trust who you give your body too!. Some Targets, and etc offer a pill as well, you can also try a Women's Clinic - usually these places just care about not ending up with pregnant girls more than angry parents!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is no need to share this information with your parents!. Like others have said, ensure that you pay for it yourself, otherwise it may show up on your parents bill!.
I am not sure what blood tests they run for your acne, but speaking from experience, a lot of blood tests that revolve around acne involve checking your hormone level!.
If you start taking the pill, IT WILL change your hormone level!.
If you regular GP that takes your blood to check your acne, is aware of you being on the pill, i do not see a problem
Just insure that you let the Planned Parenthood center know you are on acne treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They shouldnt tell your parents anything!. YOU are 18 now and you are an adult!. They cant tell your parents anything without your consent!. Go to planned parenthood!. Next time you see a doctor tell them your on the pill and not to tell your parents!. Its called patient confidentiality!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you go to a planned parenthood sometimes they give you birth control without having medical insurance because I never had medical insurance and they always give it to me when I go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Go to Planned Parenthood!. Ask them about your current prescription!. They will not tell your parents, even if you are under eighteen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
