Does PP carry all BCPs?

Does Planned Parenthood carry most types of BCPs? I just had my IUD taken out after two short months just because DH and myself were having a really hard time trusting it. At the doctor's office I asked for Mircette. My doctor at Kaiser said he had never heard of it. Okay, so I asked for the second one on my list, NuvaRing, and he said Kaiser doesn't carry it. He was willing to write me a prescription but I would have to take it elsewhere and pay full price. I can't afford that right now. Unfortunately, I had to settle for Yasmin. Previously, I was on Tri-Levlen for almost six years and it made me extremely irritable and moody. I don't think Yasmin is going to be any different but I'll give it a try. Anyhow, should it not work out for me, do most PPs carry a large variety of pills? I would like to try either Mircette or Alesse. Thanks for and help!

I was on Mircette for a while but my doctor switched me to something similar, Kariva I think? That was just due to what that had in stock and my insurance covered as generic. Anyway, might ask for that instead. Hope that helps.
