| Off the pill for 3 days involuntarily.. |
So Jared finally got everything straightened out with the insurance so I could go and get my refil of BC this weekend. So I call up Walmart so that I could ask them what all I need to do as far as getting my refils all put on the insurance we now have and they say that I have to come in to do it on Monday. No big deal, eventhough I start a new pack on Sunday I can just double up pills on Monday and be careful.
Yesterday morning I get in there at 10:30 a.m. and go up and bring my prescription pack and everything and give them the refil info and the insurance info and the woman says, "well.. your refills are all out on this perscription, we'll have to call your Dr's office or fax them about a refil request. Is this medicine for an ongoing condition?" "Yes.""Oh, well how long have you been on it?""Around a year on this particular pill""Well.. your refill is unlimited until 8/30/07. Is there a reason it's discontinued after that?""Look Lady, IT'S FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. Thus the little case that is now in your hand! It was for a year because I'm due for a check up soon and it's for the minipill because it's the only safe one when you BREASTFEED FOR A YEAR! They will okay it, I'm sure!"
So I call today to see if they have filled it and nobody answers at the pharmacy. I get fed up, get in the car, drive to Walmart with Kyan in tow at 6:30 p.m. and the lady says, "Oh.. well we're still waiting for a Dr's okay on your medicine. What was it for?" "BIRTH CONTROL, WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS!"
After a lengthy conversation about how it'd been well over 24 hours and didn't they check if a Dr didn't return a refil request by the next morning, and what am I supposed to do since I've been off the pill for 3 days now, the lady said that I should call them and then call Walmart and they will call the Dr's office and then I have to call them back before I come pick it up. Does that sound ridiculous to anybody else?
What I think the hold up is with the Dr is that I had my medical records switched about a month and a half ago since I'm going to see a Dr that has left the OB/GYN practice and is at a different office and my appointment with her has been pushed back a few weeks from Sept. 21st to October 10th, so I'm kind of in limbo as to who my Dr is.
Thoughts:
1. Should I just stay off the pill and go get some condoms? It's not like we have sex all that often like we used to, but back in the day when we were having it 3 to 4 times an evening the condoms were doing a good job of keeping the swimmies to the eggies.
2. If I happen to get them tomorrow should I just skip the first 3 days of pills and go to the one for that day or what? (It's the pill Nora-Be)
3. I really want to switch pills anyways because I think that the minipill is responsible for my mood swings and my weight gain and fluxuation since I never had a problem with it before.
4. Anything else I need to think about? It's not like my period is regular right now anyways, and I did spot yesterday a tad bit but nothing today so my cycle is really going to be out of whack.
Ladies? Anything?
Jared seriously asked me tonight if I wanted to get pregnant since I was already off the pill. Then when I told him not at this second but yes I would like to get pregnant next year at this time he said No sex until I go back to the Dr and get my pills straightened out. I think I called him a pompus ass and said something about he'd better go get his own damn condoms then and not complain because he has to wear them again. (Yep. Told you that I had mood swings.) |
