Birth control pills were not covered by Health insurance for years...?

It is a popular belief that men make and spend more than women because they are "supposed" to take care of their family. If it comes to what a man needs, insurance is on it. They don't have to pay for birth control because in the long run in reality they don't have to raise or support their offspring. The courts don't help woman, the law doesn't help women, and the insurance companies, even though they are more than happy to take our premiums, do not help women. Look at the government. How many women do you see there. They keep enough to where the men don't get in trouble but how many are there? As women we just have to suck it up I guess.

Do use backup contraception till you start your second pack of pills.  AND remember birth control pills do NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.  Please be safe!

"Over the course of 1 year, five to eight out of 100 typical couples who rely on the Pill to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. "  The numbers are probably this high b/c some people may miss a pill or take it too late.

I went through menopause without really knowing too much that I was,as I was still on the pill. I still had the hot flushes tho. Many of my friends go to health food stores there are many alternative treatments there, most work really well Good Luck

Check the instructions and side effects for missing pills in your birth control packet. You should also consult your doctor, or if he is unavailable by night, go to the nearest drug store and ask a pharpacist. Bleeding is sometimes normal but if you are insecure about it, visit your doctor first thing in the morning. For online info, do some google searches. But visit your doctor. After getting things back to normal, never ever forget to take your pill at the scheduled time. If possible set an alarm clock in your watch or cel phone at an hour that is best for you to take the pill. The best way these pills work is by following a strict discipline. \nHope everything turns out well

Planned Parenthood is one of the best places to go. They are right up there with the bigitme gynecologist and keep informed about all the perscription medications that may intefere with birth control. Usually all the Planned Parenthood locations have at least one day of the week that you can go in for a full exam for free. If I remember right they also have a deal of asking how much income you have and if you have nothing they will provide all services for free in order to keep as many women as healthy as possible. Check out the web site I have given you it should inform about this sort of stuff.

I takes a while for it to get out of your system, that is why you typically are given it every three months.  Even though it was Feb when you took it, I have seen some people still covered by it as far as birth control goes a little longer. Just keep trying!

a current edition of "The Pill Book" or a current PDR (physicians Desk Referance) are quite handy. There are online pill checkers too. but they are hard to find and I lost the link.. if I find it again I'll post it in the comments

It shouldn't cause a problem as long as you stop taking it as soon as you find out you are pregnant.  I was a birth control accident baby and oddly enough my first son was one too.  We are both fine as far as I can tell, and when I told my OB-GYN, they weren't that concerned because I hadn't been taking the pill that long while I was pregnant.

the longer you were on birth control, the longer your body takes to adapt to life without it. your body is probably trying to reset itself and you might not conceive for a while if you were on the pill for a longer amount of time.\n\ntake to your ob/gyn for specifics

Most medication, in pill form, is good for one year from the date purchased ... then it's abilities start to diminish.

You can't.  Most all hormonal birth control must have a prescription and you must see a doctor for a physical, pregnancy test, and pap smear before and yearly while on it.  It is also illegal to purchase medications over the internet that are prescription only without a prescription.\n\nIt's for your own benefit to get checked out regularly and have the risks associated with NuvaRing explained to you by your doctor.

The same way it was put in.Go to www.nuvaring.com they should have more info. If it's past the time, you could get pregnant. The same as with women who miss birth control pills.hope this helped. You probably won't get sick,unless there is bacteria there but you might get a yeast infection.

Why would it be covered? Is infertility a life threatening medical condition necessitating tax payer medical coverage?\n\n(assuming you are referring to Oregon, USA v. Ontario, CA)\n\nWhat is the basis upon which you assume that it SHOULD be covered?

i've seen in the u.s. where a dr was willing to write " release blockage of fallopian tubes"  and insurance covered it.  don't put it as a reversal or they won't.  creative writing, baby!  i have worked it the medical field for 30 yrs, i've seen just about everything!!!
