hey is anyone familiar with a service like getthepill.com? it's a website that has a doctor review your ealth history and calls in a prescription for emergency contraceptives or for 3 months of regular birth control if for whatever reason you can't get them through your doctor. i have recently moved and can't get an appointment with a new ob-gyn for three weeks and i need to get a prescription for just one month to hold me over til then. any ideas on anyplace similar to this but not getthepill.com?

If you were already on birth control, then you should be able to have your old pharmacy transfer your old prescription, or have your old doctor call in a one month prescription to a pharmacy near you.

Hi rere101399, welcome!

If I were you I would try the Planned Parenthood clinic or public health service clinic near you. The PP clinic locator is: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/Zip.htm Or, can you get your previous doctor to talk with your new one to ok an Rx (or a sample pack) for your until you can get to your appointment? Often an Internet provider is very expensive and you can’t always be certain you are getting what you paid for. Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
