Normally chemists are reluctant to sell the pill without a prescription but if you explain the difficulty they me relent,especially if it is the same chemist you get your supplies from, As regards Yasmin read the experience of a user.
The biggest difference between these pills and the other combined pills (besides the fact that they don't contain estrogen) is that they have to be taken EVERY DAY at the SAME TIME without fail. They come in a 28 day pack and there are NO inactive pills or placebo week. I take my pill every single morning at 8:30 AM and I make sure never to miss. You cannot be any later at taking the pill than 3 hours after your normal pill taking time or you can get pregnant. There is no "buffer" or safety at all - you cannot miss one - if you do, you MUST use another form of protection for the next 48 hours. Once a pack is finished, you move right onto the next without a pause.
The choice is yours.

No, you cannot. It is a prescrption only medicine. If you already have an implant, then you are covered for contraception anyway... why are you taking the pill? I have heard of it being given to control excessive bleeding while on Implanon, but this would have to be prescribed for a doctor for this purpose.
It's not safe to take artificial hormones without prescription.

I would not if I was you you need to telephone your doctors surgery or go to the nearest family planning clinic to do something about this. The family planning clinic will also give you free advise over the phone surly it is worth a call. You cant buy contraceptive pillls in uk over the counter.
Normally if you phone surgery they can take repeat perscriptions over the phone and if you need a check up they will give you one month as an emergancy in repeat perscription but book an appointment for you next time.

Not in the US. Not sure about the UK. Have you tried locating a Planned Parenthood near you? They would be able to help you with getting contraceptives.
