you can buy them online w/o a prescription and a lot cheaper..thats what I do. I currently take "ovral" a kind of differently named, more generic I guess, brand that acts just like the other brands, I was able to get a three month supply for around 40 USD however the shipment takes approximately a month to send..

I just heard a few horror stories of purchasing "non-prescription birth control pills" online. Please don't think I am reprimanding you OzKristin.....but the pill is meant to be a prescription drug ONLY....so that the correct dosage can be administered and if there are problems, changes to the brand or dosage can be regulated!
Not to mention.....it sounds as if you don't even really know exactly what it is you are taking! You say..."ovral...a different named, more generic" brand. What does that mean really? It sounds to me like it means.....someone out there (on the www) is trying to duplicate a prescription drug without a pharmaceutical license! And the manufacturer could be putting anything in them and how would you know what they are made of?
I've heard that these so called "birth control pills" are of so much a lesser dosage than necessary to prevent pregnancy and that some don't even have the chemical make-up to prevent anything....and this means you could get pregnant even if you took the pills diligently!
It's so true.......you get what you pay for! I do hope you've researched these pills and at least asked a doctor if the drug "ovral" can be dispensed w/o a prescription!!!! I don't think I'd trust my eggs to an ad online that doesn't require a prescription for a prescription drug!!!!
Please look into this further hon! Best of luck and PM me anytime if you want!
