Hey KinkyBaby
Firstly I;m not sure on the legal age for intercourse in your area, or the exact laws about dispensing, I am in the UK where the age is 16, so I will be giving my reply with that in mind, you will need to check if these apply in your area. Also I'm aware many people may be saying you should be advised against having sex at your age, but my opinion on that is, if your already doing it, it's about educating you on how to stay safe so here we go:-|
Firstly I'd urge you to use a condom whilst you sort out other contraception, and even if you manage to get on the pill please consider still using a condom, as they prevent most STI's (Sexually transmitted infections) and double up the pregnancy protection in case the pill is not absorbed correctly due to illness, missing a dose or antibiotics. Have a look on line, or in the phone book, perhaps even at your school they may have a poster up advertising local clinics where you can attend, In the UK this would be a family planning clinic, or STI clinic. You dont need to have an STI or be planning a family to attend as they provide all sorts of sexual health treatments and advise, at your age this should be totally free. The nurse will ask you a lot of questions, take your blood pressure, weigh you etc and then discuss the types of contraception that may be available to you. You may be able to just drop in and wait for a space, or you could call before hand to arrange an appointment.
Like your doctor these professionals have to adhere to keep what you tell them confidential, meaning they are not aloud to call your parents and tell them what your doing. There are exceptions where they are aloud to break this confidentiality, this would be possibly if your partner is much older than you, as this is a whole different thing or if they feel you are at risk of hurting yourself or someone else.
I think it's a good idea you are being responsible and looking into contraception, at your age the last thing you would want is an unwanted pregnancy. Just remember if you are not already sexually active, even if you are, don't ever feel pressured into doing it simply to please your partner. Take things slowly and gently as at your age your not fully developed and may bruise easily or run into other problems if your not careful. I hope this has helped you. <3
