Thanks guys. I KNOW the pill isn't a license to have sex. Thats hubby's and a lot of other parent's concern. I've spoken with her about it, telling her even if she was on the pill that its not something to fall back on for sex because teens and the pill aren't good combos because they often miss a daily dose -- this girl forgets to take her daily vitamins! I told her that if she misses a day, or is even 12 hours late in taking it, that pregnancy CAN happen. She KNOWS that. She also knows she'll forget to take it at least once a week.

Yes, she is incredibly level headed. I say if the doctor recommends it, then we need to get it for her. I've been trying to talk him into this one for a year now... as has hubby's sister. If I go behind his back to get her the pill and hide it.... not good. One thing about us, we NEVER lie, about ANYTHING. and I tell the kids that -- no matter what happened, no matter how much trouble you think you'll get into, tell the truth. To go behind his back in this one... I couldn't do it and wouldn't do it.
