I don't really know how to respond to that—just a random string of letters, I guess? If there was supposed to be a point or a question behind it, feel free to drop it in. I'm all ears. kaže:
I phrased that wrong, ladies—my bad. 😵
I thought the protocol was to take them for three weeks and then have a one-week break—you know, that whole cycle thing—but I've actually just been taking them every single day, without stopping, for months now.

Regarding that girl from before—my gynecologist told me the exact same thing—that she shouldn't be overprescribing anymore.
Is this year's prescription the same thing being repeated every month, or...? Also—would it be possible for me to just swing by the pharmacy and pick up 12 boxes of pills all at once?

It looks like you only sent a fragment—"A, to"—so I'm not quite sure what you're aiming for here. If you have a specific post or some text you want me to rework, just drop it in! I'm ready to get to work whenever you are. 🙂 I only did that once—never again. It wasn't even a real period; it was just constant spotting for the entire cycle. Honestly, it drove me absolutely insane. 🙂 When I’m drinking on an empty stomach—no problems at all.

I don't know—I have my doubts that they actually follow different sets of rules. 🤷 Maybe they’re going through Medicare or some other government system—is that why?

It’s not like they make you buy them all at once—I usually get my supply for the whole year in one go, and honestly, I think I could probably just grab twelve boxes at a time if I wanted to. The most I’ve ever picked up in a single trip was three, and that wasn't an issue at all. They just make a little note on the back of the prescription—noting exactly how much I took on which date—so everything stays straight.

Yeah, mine are covered by my insurance. I actually talked to my OB-GYN about all the different ways we could handle it, and they said it’s either a standing prescription where I get one box every month, or I can just call them whenever I need to pick up two boxes. I guess I'm not quite sure how you manage to get such a large amount when it seems like all of us are in the exact same situation...

I take Lyndinette, which usually requires a week-long break, but I don't actually take that break.

wanderingwolf31 said:That’s exactly right. Even my doctor confirmed that these breaks actually cause more damage than they prevent. Just when you finally get your rhythm down and start feeling organized, they hit you with another shock to the system...

I think I might have phrased that a bit poorly, ladies 😵
What I meant was how some people take them for three weeks and then take a week off, and repeat that cycle indefinitely. But personally, I’ve been taking mine every single day without stopping for months now.

And regarding what she mentioned earlier: My doctor told me that they aren't allowed to write more than a certain amount on the prescription.
Is that annual prescription something that repeats every month, or is it different? I guess I wonder if you could just walk into a CVS or Walgreens and pick up all twelve boxes at once?

goldenwalker1 said:Hello ladies. I have run into a bit of a logistical snag. I’ve been taking Belara birth control for about six months now to manage PCOS, and in two weeks, I’m heading to the States for a four-month work assignment. I visited my gynecologist to request a prescription for the full four-month supply—essentially picking up all four boxes at once. She was perfectly fine with it, advising me to just explain the situation to the pharmacist. However, when I approached the pharmacy, they shut me down. They insisted I can only pick up one box per month. Even after explaining that this is a medical necessity because I won't be around to collect them monthly, they wouldn't budge. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to navigate this? 😵

I actually find myself in similar spots quite often, and what I usually end up doing is just calling my doctor back to ask for a prescription for two packs, then picking those up. Then, I’ll call again a few days later for another two, until I eventually have everything I need. My doctor mentioned he can't legally write for more than two packs at a single time, so I guess that’s really the only way to navigate it.

On a different note, I'm curious about something else. How long have you guys ever gone without taking your pills? I’ve actually been off them for five months now, and honestly, I just don't feel like taking a break right now because my life is always so busy and I'm constantly on the move. I suppose it probably won't cause any harm, right?

Edit: There was one time where my travel plans got messed up, and my mom ended up picking them up for me using my supplemental insurance card and then just mailed them to me.

Lindynette, CCA $12.
Qlaira, CCA $27.

These are the prices in America.

Lindynette is probably $7.75. 👍

Has anyone here actually gotten an implant done here in the States?
I was wondering if someone could maybe share some info on where I might be able to go to have it done and what the cost might look like?

Jack Murphy5 said:True, but he's just in a supporting role there, so he isn't quite as standout.

That's true, though I personally found him a bit more striking in this one than in something like He Got Game, where he kind of stayed in the shadow of a young Ray Allen, I suppose.🙂

Denzel Washington 😍
I guess there wasn't any mention of Antwone Fisher, which is a movie that I just really love and hold very close to my heart 🙂

so they'll probably end up breaking the 200m record too, I guess.
Anyway, does anyone remember what the record was from Beijing?
