I had to FIGHT with my Dr's office to get my birth control pills refilled! [View All]

[wicket]

UGH! I have NEVER had this happen before. I realized that my birth control pills are about to run out, so I called my doctor's office to get them refilled. This is usually never a problem- they call in the prescription to the pharmacy so I can pick them up. I'm not due for my annual physical for another couple of months so there is no need to go in for an appointment. The woman on the phone told me they couldn't call in the prescription, that I had to come into the "family planning clinic". WTF???? I obviously got very upset, I told her I had never had to this before. She said everyone who wants birth control pills has to go to the family planning clinic. I protested some more, she asked me what kind of pills I was on and then put me on hold while I fumed. She finally got on the line and told me they could call in the prescription. I'm not sure what made them change their minds. Either way- time for a new doctor!!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

on edit- And for the record- I've been on the BC pills for a long time before I was sexually active- they help a medical condition I have- endometriosis. These pills are a MEDICAL NECESSITY for me.
