Mine was in Georgia. They told me you did not need a down there exam to get on the pill. I came in and they would not give it to me because my dad had a stroke 4 yrs ago and I smoke. That's ok I understand that. but I was there a total of 5 minutes. I filled out the forms they looked at them and said no. Then they charged me 150 bucks.

I know your not supposed to, but I ordered my Yasmin from a website online for half the price. They come from overseas.

So they didnt even doing the pap smear and charged you $150????

I was told that if I wanted a pap smear w/exam it would be $155...if I just wanted a consultation it would be $40 and then $20 for each mth supply of BC pills..

Personally, I love the NuvaRing. No pills to remember to take!

Make sure you know the dates of your last period, beginning and end. Write down any questions you have, everyone forgets to ask the doctor something.

And good luck!

Tried that once. It fell out and I found it under the couch cushions a week later, when I couldn't find it to change it! Was not happy about that!

In retrospect it was funny!

I feel the need to inform you that in my opinion smoking and taking oral contraceptive pills, particularly not under the supervision of a physician is risky behavior. It's not a matter of 'you're not supposed to,' it's a matter of not wanting to jeapardize your health, or life for that matter!

I was gonna ask the same thing . Kinda important for a woman.

>>ried that once. It fell out and I found it under the couch cushions a week later, when I couldn't find it to change it! Was not happy about that!

I'm not going to ask how it 'fell out' and ended up under the couch.

I lost mine once, in Disneyworld, actually. Found it in the bedsheets the next morning. SO happy I did and the maid didn't find it. Other than that I've never lost one.
