It's an estrogen free, progestin-only birth control pill that is the first over the counter birth control pill on the market. You can buy it on Amazon now for $49.99 for 3 months supply.
I was thinking about getting on it once I close the distance between my boyfriend and I because we're not ready for a child right now.
I have the copper IUD and love it. I’ve done the combined pill before but the side effects suck, especially in how it affects you cognitively and emotionally. While my insurance covered my bc 100%, to buy it over-the-counter might not be as cost effective. My insurance also covered the IUD, but it is more cost-effective considering it doesn’t have to be replaced for ten years (though I will get it taken out the moment my life is more stable and happy and ready for kids!).
It has no estrogen in it unlike the combo pill that is more traditionally taken by women. The side effects are unknown yet because it's a new pill on the market. I won't know anything until a month or so has gone by and get the reviews from others about it. But a lot of the estrogen free pills the mini pills don't have as many side effects as the combo pills. So it might not have weight gain or acne or migraines like the combo pills have.
I was thinking that too. It's no reviews on it yet since it just came out but by the time I close the distance with my boyfriend, it would have been out for a while now to give me enough time to decide if I should get on it or not.
I think so too! And I can't wait to hear everyone's experience on it as well. I'm not going to go on it immediately. I'm going to give it time to build up reviews and by the time I move down with my boyfriend, it should garner many reviews and I will ultimately decide then if I want to be on it or not.
Yeah I know I could buy it now but I don't really need it now because I only see him once a month and use plan b for when he visits. But I do hope that there doesn't become a ban on it. That would suck.
Why are you buying pills off Amazon and your research is incorrect? a lot of you chicks wonder why men won't marry you nor have kids with you . You ladies don't have brain cells
What do you mean my research is incorrect? I got it from the direct opill site. You can also buy it in stores like Walmart, Walgreens and CVS. You sound stupid 🙄
You also sound very bitter. Just because you can't find a man to marry you doesn't mean other women who choose to buy the opill can't find men to marry them or have kids with them in the future. He didn't even make it a suggestion for me to get on the bc pill. I'm choosing to. So you sound dumb.
Oh ok. That's smart. I don't have a gyno right now due to high costs to have one with my insurance but I will try to get one before deciding to take the opill.
I'm just not one to put anything in me that will mess with my body chemistry without consulting with my doctor, who knows my health history. Even if he recommends OTC medication, I still have him write a script for it since my insurance will cover most of my Rx drug costs as long as he writes a script.
