The BC pills are usually based on your income.... if you have a part-time job they can be about $3/pack. They will make you come in for your usual exams in order to keep giving you the prescription.

They don`t tell anything unless you report abuse..They can`t tell your parents anything..
They`ll ask you if they can call your house && mention if its planned parenthood,they ask if they can send mail to your house that has planned parenthood on it..They also ask if your parents know you are there..
Also my first vsit they wouldn`t do a pap smear they`d only do a pelvic exam to make sure your shaped right && checked my breast..
Also they`ll ask what kind of birth control method you`d like..
I got on the pill && it cost me 34 dollars for the visit && pills..The pills were 14 && my appointment was 20..But i had my insurance card..
I heard if you mention you have no insuracne they`ll give them to you for free.. but i`m not sure how true that is..
You could always look it up in a local phone book && ask them anything you`d like..

Ask about the cost double check on the confidentiality thing, though I am sure they won't tell.
Anything you might want to ask questions about...write it down. You will be nervous when you go in and you don't want to forget something.
No question is to silly. Take the opportunity to ask. If you are to embarrassed, just give them the list of questions! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
