Re: bringing contraception / birth control into the USA
As I understand it as long as you are grandfathered in then you are OK as a child until 26, married or not.
I am not sure if it is until you are 27 you age out but google will no doubt tell you.

BTW, the package inserts for oral contraceptives note that they are no protection against HIV. Just saying.

Re: bringing contraception / birth control into the USA
OK. There are many issues which could be addressed in this thread. (The use of condoms/HIV protection in marriage? - really Mr F??)
I'm just going to suggest one possible solution: seek advice (in the UK about) long acting reversible contraception, such as the Mirena or other intrauterine device.

Re: bringing contraception / birth control into the USA
I don't think she ever said whether she was married or not. If she did, I missed it and apologize.
ETA: Ah, in another thread she refers to her husband and an I-130 application, but it wasn't addressed in this thread.

It wasn't mentioned on this thread, but another that she started or wrote on about getting married on the same day as applying for visa or suchlike.

Edit: I've just read Ozzio's post and looked through the OP's posts...her first one states 'I am a USC and my Husband is a UKC we have just sent in our I-130 petition'. Don't quite know where her parent's insurance comes into it.

She stated above that she's 26, and in this thread she discusses her husband and being a LPR http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=733816

Re: bringing contraception / birth control into the USA
Yes, I was always under the impression that as soon as you married, you were no longer considered a minor and were dropped from parental insurance. AFAIK, that issue wasn't addressed in the Healthcare reform. If the OP is counting on daddy's insurance, she better call them up and verify she can still be covered.

Re: bringing contraception / birth control into the USA
Hello,
I wondered the same thing about the (availability of contraceptives in the US) whilst I was living in the UK. I decided to have the contraceptive implant Implanon inserted into my upper arm - and it prevents pregnancy for 3 years. It was done easily at my local GP office (for free - good ol' NHS) and is fully reversible.

It may be something to consider.
