Default BCP Help

i'm going to lose my insurance soon and i'm afraid i won't be able to afford the pill anymore. it's helped with many of my symptoms and i want to stay on it. is there anywhere i can get BCP for free? i've heard about free pills on plannedparenthood.com but i looked around the site and didn't find anything. any ideas ?

You can just stop in any Planned Parenthood and they will give you the pill for free.

I have no insurance too and I pay for the pill every month. It's about $30. I believe there are also websites where you can purchase the pill if you just google it.

Which pill do you take? I was without insurance for awhile and was able to get it from the doctor. Have you asked your gp or gyn for any? They don't want to be dealing with unplanned pregnancy, so they are usually willing to oblige. I was told that planned parenthood will give a free year of pills of they do your pap smear. Is that still true? You might also get assistance at a public health clinic.

If you have a public clinic you can get them there.
I used to get mine there back in the day. You go have an exam and they give you the BCP and you pay what you can afford be it $10, $20 or whatever. Sometimes I didn't have any money and would just give them like $20 the next month.

Good luck!
