Can any doctor give Rx for "the Pill"?
| Wed, 07-07-2004 - 7:59am |
I've never been on the Pill before but just started a relationship with a guy a few weeks ago and am thinking about going on the Pill. I have an appointment with a doctor at a different clinic next week for a cervical procedure (LEEP) and I was wondering if someone other than my regular doctor would be able to give me a prescription for the Pill? Is it as simple as asking for a prescription or do they need to do some sort of checkup with you? Would I be able to just call my regular doctor and ask her to write one for me or do I need to go in for an exam? I can go to my regular doctor, but who knows how long it would take to get in to see her, and since I'll be seeing this other one, I figured it would be convenient.

I hope that helps! Good luck to you...
