Contraception

My dd is 15 and has been with her 16 year old boyfriend for a year. They’re both happy with each other and love each other. He comes over a few times a week but never stays over. They’ve talked about sex but neither are ready yet by my 15 year old dd has asked to go on the pill. She’s our eldest so we’ve never been through this before. I’ve booked an appointment with our gp but am I doing the right thing? I’d love her not to be putting hormones in her body at such a young age but I do want her to be prepared.

If you want to protect her from teen pregnancy then 100% you are doing the right thing. It's a simple as that.

you’re definitely doing the right thing! there are also non-hormonal contraceptive methods that can be looked into eg copper coil if she doesn’t have issues with her periods but definitely talk to your gp about it x
