Yep, you gotta get it through them every month, and as you become more familiar to them they may give you a few months extra, they dont just want to give out pills, and lose track of you, they are out to make a difference, and they will make sure your doing everything right before they give you a sack of them. Good luck stayin baby free, even though you got the pill, still use a condom. My first was conceved with the pill and a condom. Really against the odds.

You can call them up and ask for one, or you can go there each month and buy them. If you choose to do that (which is a good idea since they are usually cheaper there), you will not have to have an exam each time. They probably won't suggest you have another exam for a year unless this is your first time on birth control pills in which case they may want an exam again in 6 mos.

I don't know what PP's policies are but I doubt you'll have to get an exam every month. My question is why they would give you that particular pill - I thought only nursing mothers took micronor (it's a progesterone-only pill and doesn't interfere with lactation).

u probably just need to go back and get some more...
on the contrary, birth control pills can be quite harmful to your health... just hear me out on this one... they can leave you infertile, give u major blood clots, and even lead to death... maybe u should do a little research sometime... and of course PP wont tell u that stuff cuz they just want ur money... and as a side note birth control pills can cause an abortion if they don't prevent the sperm and egg from "connecting" (for lack of a better term that i can think of...), they will deteriorate the lining of the uterus and not let the newly formed life attach... and basically let the baby starve to death... just for the record I'm pro-life... please just consider everything above... thanks...

they usually want you to come back after trying the pills for a month or so. you only need an exam once a year. if you arent having any side efffects they will give you a 6 or 12 month supply

Normally they give you more than one month at a time. Well that was a long time ago, so they might have changed that policy. You don't need an exam every time, you just call them and tell them when your about out. You'll have to go get them though.

That's odd that they only gave you enough for one month. When I used to go there, they'd give me a 1 year supply. You don't have to take an exam everytime. I think you need to call them tomorrow and ask.
Good luck!

When I went to PP they gave me a years worth without a prescription...I thought it was odd, but at the same time it was convienant because I wouldn't have to continuiously go back. Call them and ask them what they are expecting you to do when you run out. Good luck.

you wont have to get an exam, but they will provide you with the pills monthly.

I bet they will give you a perscription. Just call and ask them when you need more. Thanks for being a responsable person and taking care of birthcontrol.
