In my county you can go to Planned Parenthood and they will give you BCP for anywhere from 6 months to a year without an exam.

Be safe. Know your side effects and your risk factors before taking them.

As far as the Mexico being Catholic comment, I think they meant that they might not be as readily available as in a country whose majority is not Catholic. But who knows...lol I won't put words in other people's mouth.

I know how you feel about the exam, but I am beginning to accept the "sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do" outlook. Oh...and my meds are made by Ortho...you might look for something with that. No one is judging you, honestly, I've been amazed how many women I have met just recently who are on "the pill" for other reasons.

Whatever you decide,
