I’m 16 and I take birth control pills. My guardians think it’s to make my monthly less heavier and longer but actually it’s because i’m sexually active and that’s between me and my doctor. I’ve heard that birth control pills can cause kidney stones. Do they? And if so what can i take that is also birth control that doesn’t cause them? And I don’t want my guardians knowing i’m currently sexually active.

I was having very bad pains in the right side of my lower abdomen and I assumed that it had something to do with my appendix. I then went to the doctor and it began to hurt on my left side as well. He had me do a pelvic ultrasound to see if I had an ovarian cyst. The test came in and I didnt. He said he didnt think it was kidney stones because I wasnt having any blood, but this morning I woke up with blood. Im not sure if this could be because of kidney stones or my menstrual cycle. Any one can help?
