If you live close to a medium to larger city you can go to planned parenthood and get the pill for free..... they will even give you free condoms..... And you can send those to me since you dont use them.

I know this isnt what you want to hear but the first words I have to say is, Dont do it!
Now that thats said, since I know your not gonnna listen is please please please use birth control correctly and condoms, and dont just have sex randomly with people!! If your not gonna wait and you feel your truelly in love and must physically complete it then make sure you are both understanding of the consequences. For you it very well might hurt alot and the worst part is the STDs you are now susceptible of catching, and possibly never getting rid of.
Go to the local health care facility, look it up online they have a Planned Parenthood website and you can type you city or county in and find where the nearest one is for you. They usually go on a sliding scale based on how much u make, if you have a job. Otherwise they just charge based on their discounted services. You can usually get the Pap test for $20 or so and pills for around $10 a pack. If you fear you are going to be forgetful than ask them for something called The Ring or The Patch, but I feel the Ring works better, the patch can peel off to easy. Just please be carefull, to many guys will try and use you.

If you live in the USA you can go to a free clinic, planned parenthood clinic, or county health department and obtain birth control pills for free. You can also check into prices for Depo (the shot) and some other types of birth control. I commend you for taking action and having safe sex-just remember-the pill DOES NOT prevent STD's so it's still a good idea to use condoms. Most free clinics, planned parenthoods sites, and county health departments also give away free condoms by the bunches.
If you decide to get on the pill remember to take it EVERYDAY around the same time. If you don't think you'll remember, ask for a different kind of birth control-like the shot or patch.

If you are worried about getting preganant, you should be more worried about getting Herpies or any other STD... the best thing to do is not have sex at all... who ever you are with make sure they are tested before any contact happens and find someone (an adult) you feel confidence in to talk to.
To answer your question the pill can be provided on a sliding scale. Like, if you don't have an income then its free. Or is your income is 100$ a week it might be $5 a pack. or something..
JUST REMEMBER YOU ARE SPECIAL Take care of your self, this is the only chance you get.......
hope all works out for you

NHS should be free.
But a major problem with the pill is if you throw up shortly after, have diaoreah,
DONT TAKE IT EXACTLY ON TIME AS SAY YOU SLEPT IN AFTER A PARTY ON A SAT NIGHT OR TOO BUSY MAKING OUT WITH NEW BF.
OR DONT TAKE IT EACH DAY
It dont work as you did not follow the instructions.
Far better is a one week patch... Then you only have to remeber it every week.
Better staill a depro injection which lasts 3 months, Then implants which may last a couple of years till removed.
You being 16 hate to say it but likely to be good at remebering to take it at exactly the same time each day.... It should be easier having a doctors appointment for your jab.
Also certain drugs like antibiotics or st johns wort stop the pills and depro working. Or certain illegal ones too.
Only your boobs dont go ding dong pill aint working so you think you are ok till you start yacking in the morning.
So the sensible thing is the double dutch metod... ie Injection AND condoms so they back each other up and help with all those nasty sex and social life killing STDS which make boyfriends run away and make your date life like Sister virginity.
Thats if they dont kill you, make you infertile forever, or give you nasty coldsores and your best bits.
Oh and virgins can get stds trough contact with eyes say fingers or blood say first aid, sports, fights or bbeing the unlukc fk who stepped on the same nail as the infected one .

There are ways to get the pill if you can't afford it. Most pharmacys and doctors have forms from the drug companys that they can fill out and you can get the pill for free or at a cheaper cost. If you are in Canada there is a program in most citys at the public health centers where they will provide the pill and pregnancy tests for what you can afford. If you can't afford anything they can provide it for free. There are also the planned pregnacy numbers. They don't just help pregnant women but also help prevent unplanned pregnacies they will be able to direct you to a place that can help you. I will tell you know though most doctors don't know about the forms or where the centers are, they can only remeber so much..... we have to remeber that they are human to

Some doctors may have some free samples, mostly though you have to pay. Generally Planned Parenthood will sell it at cost which is around $7 per pack (at least it is around $10 in Canada).
Call Planned Parenthood and ask 1-800-230-PLAN

if you go to planned parenthood, they give you a pap smear for usually about $80-$100. Ask them to be put on the pill and usually they give you about 6 months of samples then you just go back in six months for another pap and they give you more pills. And the money for the pap is without insurance, if you have insurance it might even cost you less.

Go to a family planning place or planned parenthood. Because your in school, all you have to do is show proof that your in school (school ID or something like that) and it will cost you next to nothing. Your best bet is to call around to Planned Parenthood or any family planning place and ask them how much it is. But remember to tell them your a student.
