Birth Control
My friend (17) and I (17) want to go to get birth control. I have been reading on here and on plannedparenthood.com about the different kinds and the exam and all that good stuff. But I have found contradictory statements. How much money should my friend and I bring each for the total amount?

I actually didn't get birth control from planned parenthood. I got a prescription for 6 months from my doctor, and I went to a Jewel, and it was only two dollars for my first set of pills. I think it increases as the months go by, but not by that much.

I think planned parenthood requires you to have an exam before they will give you birth control. They generally use a sliding scale based on income, since I assume you are still in high school you likely do not make much money. If you call them in advance, I'm sure they will be able to give you a rough estimate of the cost.

okay well, its been my experience at Planned Parenthood, that when you go in they ask you to fill out some papers. the papers will ask you questions about jobs, money, etc. just simply tell them you don't have much money, and almost any donation from 10-15 dollars will be accepted.

i live in FL and the exams are 35$ and the birth control for the first time is 30$.. after that when you pick it up it's 10$ each. i suggest looking up a location on the website and calling them.. prices probably are different for each state.

There is no certain price on birth control. There also is not just one type. Prices will vary, sometimes by large amounts. I would suggest calling the doctor you are planning on seeing, or a local geynocologist office and ask.

If you know where you will be going, give them a call and ask them. Prices vary so much that is the best thing you can do. :)
