go to Planned Parenthood or your local health clinic. The pills are usually pretty cheap or free through those two options.

Check with local clinic. In California they have a program that you can recieve birth control for free if you don't have insurance. Also check plan parenthood when I was a teenager I was able to get birth control for free because I had no insurance. Not sure if it still works like that it was some years ago. Good Luck!

Consider other methods, too. My IUD was ~$200 (works up to 5 years). I have insurance and didn't have to pay.

Your cheapest option is probably to get something through Planned Parenthood

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/centerDeta...

They have a location in Springfield, I don't know your area - so I don't know if there are closer locations.

Dear B.:

Contact your local Planned Parenthood. They will likely provide them free of charge. From the PP website, I believe the closest one to you (Farmersville, Illinois) is 1000 E Washington, Springfield, IL 62703, P: ###-###-####.

Best wishes, T.

It depends on what you doctor puts you on. However, I am going to give you a couple of places that you can go to get GREAT prescription discounts. They are free, so apply and download them. Present them to the Pharmacist to see which one gives you the best price. I am an insurance agent, so these are very safe to use.

www.vbabenefits.com - go 3/4 of the way down on the page, you will see a place to sign up for the card.

www.togetherrxaccess.com

www.vbamembers.com ¾ way down. Free RX card!

http://www.simplesavingscard.com/benefits.html

These are some other options to check out. I use the VBA, myself. If you do need to take a look at plans that you qualify for for health insurance, give me a call at ###-###-####. My name is S. H in Grayslake. I help people solve these issues!

Best of luck to you.

Natural Family Planning is free too, and safer than birth control pills.
(http://nfpandmore.org/) It's also much easier than you might think.

FYI....certain BCP pills are on the "standard" co-pay lists at Target and WalMart (that I know of). And, if you get the generic version of many of the brand-name pills, you can get the prescription filled for a standard $9 co-pay per month....no insurance needed. It's just like the standard $4 prescriptions some stores advertise (i.e. antibiotics, etc.) You do have to have a valid prescription though.

That really depends on what you get, name brand, generic, etc., and what your insurance is. If you are worried about the cost, you can call planned parenthood and ask for some advice/help.

We were briefly without insurance and I had to pay $49.99 a month. It does depend on the brand. Call your insurance company and find out the regular price, most also have discounts for those without insurance. If the one you are on is expensive ask what kind is similar but cheaper and then call your doc and ask them to switch it with the pharmacy.

Depends on the brand and if it comes in generic. I used to pay $10 for a 3 month supply with generic, but had to switch pills and this one doesn't come in generic. Now, I pay $62 for 3 months. This is with my insurance.

Hi, I just called American Girl yesterday. They told me to use baking soda paste or if that did not work to use OXY 10 acne cream, cover it with plastic (saran wrap) and put it in the sun for 4 hours. If that does not work, than you can ship it to them in a box for 6.95 and the cost of 39.00 and they would clean it up. They said you send it with no clothes on and it will come back with a hospital gown on and a wrist ID all cleaned up. It would take 2 to 3 weeks. There is a form you can get on line on their site under Customer Service Doll Hospital. She said it would be faster that way instead of going to the store because they do not do fix them there. They only make 1 shipment out a week with any dolls they get. Hope this is helpful.
