Hey I’m traveling with family and we are currently in Mexico and will be returning to the United States through the border however I didnt think about my birth control at all. Should I be worried that I’ll be stopped due to my birth control or wether they will detect and suspect them as something else. My family is unaware that I’m on birth
control and prefer if they don’t find out should I be worried.
Crossing the us border from Mexico
Sorry but I don't understand what worries you. Birth controll is a really normal thing all around the world and nobody will take notice of it.
Much more interesting is if your papers are ok. Do you have ESTA? Or are you american citizen? And don't bring any forbidden food or other idems with you.

I assume you mean birth control tablets?
It's pretty unlikely that you'd be questioned about a small number of tablets in your bag (cabin or checked).. But itf it happens there'll be no problem as long as your birth control tablets are still in their original packaging (as they should be). You could take your prescription with you if you're really worried.
I'd advise you to tell your parents if at all possible. I'm sure they'd prefer you to be taking sensible precautions rather than risking an unwanted child.
You obviously don't need an Esta if you are a US citizen returning to the USA.
