Nurx literally saved me during 2 different times in my life.. Idk what I would have done without them. I have an IUD now, but this seriously saved me when I was in college and not allowed to use my parents insurance for BC or Plan B.

I'm really happy with the response time from the online staff and the doctors. I haven't had to wait too long to get questions answered.

I live in Wisconsin and when I went to planned Parenthood they got me QCK kits, 3 months of pills, like 30 condoms and a plan b every few months sent to me in discrete packaging. For a time Iived with my parents and they had no idea until I told them. I'm now using an IUD but if you have a need and can, definitely talk to your local planned Parenthood!

I agree with the fact that this is probably more thorough.My friends who were prescribed the combined pill were never told about the side effects or how to watch out for them. I discovered your channel lately thank you for the education.

The pill club saved me in college. I was moving around a lot then with semester brakes, dorming and internships and getting my script moved around to different pharmacies was such a headache. The pill club made it easy to just change my address to get my nuvaring every month!

This was a game changer when I was unemployed. Shout out to Nurx :)

I moved to a state with hard to access birth control services and pandia health has been a life saver!!

[rachel]

I use the pill club and it’s honestly amazing!

Dr Lincoln your posts are so helpful. Can you please include videos for women going through perimenopause and menopause.

I agree with everything! I discovered mail order Birth Control last year and I absolutely loved it. So convenient and easy. I use Simple Health though, and I’m located in Florida. Have you heard of them? Do you consider them a good company too?

[michellelanteri]

Most mail order companies for birth control pills will not sell you a monophasic combination birth control pills if your over 40 even if you don’t have red flags in your family history . Plus in the USA you need a prescription to get birth control pills which required a pelvic exam to meet minimum requirements. But Europe over 60 countries you ask for what you need no hassles

Question- I used pandia health and they said that pills with less than 30 mcg of estrogen are bad for bone health. Is this true??

[gemirausabeleynepomuceno]

can implant and pills work together ?

[lamemechose]

If you need something specific (ex: you tolerate one manufacturer’s drugs better than others or you need the brand name), you will have lots of issues. I need one specific generic version of the extended-cycle pill and it was a nightmare trying to get companies to listen to me. No matter how many times I said “I’ve been on this for ten years and it works, but if you give me something else, I’ll end up in the hospital”, they kept trying to give me random generics. The Pill Club was the worst. They ignored my messages over and over, repeatedly lied to me about basic medical facts, then I finally got a supervisor who apologized and promised me everything was going to be correct, took my money, then suddenly fabricated a “reason” they weren’t going to follow through with my script. I had to file a billing dispute with my bank to get my money back. Accessing basic healthcare should be traumatic. I have medical PTSD that begins at 5yo. It’s actually somehow worse when you’re being gaslit about your own body by someone you can’t see. Be careful out there!

Thank you so much for your very interesting and educational videos !!!! I'm 46 years old and I do not want to become pregnant. I live in the United States Tennessee abortion is now a felony in my state. I had my tubes cut tied and burn when I was 25 years old. A long time ago I had painful heavy periods that lasted 14 days every month so I was put on birth control pills Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol that I take everyday. I had periods every 3 months for 7 days. For about 2 years I have had a period every 3 months that last 3 days. I always use a condom when having sex. Is pregnancy a possibility for me ???? Thank you so much
