Question
I currently see a doctor regularly to get my birth control prescription. I am getting ready to move to another state. Do you know if I will have to see another doctor all over again so I can continue to get my proscription?

Answer
Cocoa,

I think you might have to start over to keep getting your prescription. However, if you have refills left at a chain pharmacy, perhaps you can get your prescription transferred. Like say, at a Walgreens or grocery store that may have locations in your new state. So check that out. I would like to talk to you more about birth control anyway. I don't usually recommend hormonal birth control methods because of risks and side effects. How long have you been taking pills and how old are you? Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
