[quote=Anonymous]I went on birth control in highschool.  It took me a long time after starting to have sex to work up the courage to talk to my mother about going on it.  Even then I used the excuse of wanting it for my periods and cramping, etc.

I would suggest talking to your daughter about the options, making an appointment with a gynecologist for her to have an initial screening and discussion about birth control, and providing her with some materials.  Maybe even a pack of condoms to go with the materials. Make it very informational and leave the choice up to her, but encourage her to make the choice knowing all the information and knowing that you are supportive of the choice, and your preference for which method and why.

Does providing all this maybe make it a bit easier for your daughter to have sex? Perhaps.  But, I know personally, I only slightly hesitated due to my parents preferences.  Ultimately, hormones made the choice.  And I would much prefer to know my daughter has all the information and protection possible before those hormones start making the decision.[/quote]
