female only Help me with a plan...

[ash 5]

I have an issue. I moved to Louisiana last year and the only ob/gyn I could get in to see so I wouldn't run out of my BC pills was a complete MORON and I hated him. So I want to switch Doctors, right? But my BC prescription runs out in 3 weeks, and my current Dr's office refilled the prescription to last me until my next appointment, which is Oct. 29. I can't get an appt before then or my insurance won't pay for it. They told me they would ONLY refill my prescription if I kept my appointment. So that makes it seem impossible to switch Doctors!!! Should I just cancel the appointment the day before and get an appointment with a new Dr? I have never had this happen before! And I NEEEEEEEED those pills, y'all.

Start looking for a new doctor NOW- you should be able to get in about the same time as your appt. with Dr. Moron. Once you have a confirmed appt. with Dr. New, then call and cancel with Dr. Moron. If you absolutely CAN'T get an appt. with Dr. New before your appt. with Dr. Moron, then either keep the appt. with Dr. Moron, or call at the last minute and say there's been an emergency and you can't make it in on xx date; however, could they call you in an RX for another month - and reschedule with their office - then get an appt. with Dr. New and cancel the appt. with Dr. Moron.

Hope that makes sense to you!

Can you call planned parent hood....and have then get you a refill? I have done that.....do you have a primary care....who can call in a month and explain why?

I also have had the pharmacy call..... get a one month extension and then go the script from the new doctor!

I am having an issue with the metformin....... I got for the pcos...... since I had my c section and suppossedly am not having any more kids...... my ob/ thinks I do not need it any more...... cause the othery symptoms of pcos (besides the infertility) are not an issue............... HE DOESN"T LIVE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! or have hair grwoing on his breasts........ My husband plans on calling him!

I love this issue with insurance and the idiot things we have to do when we all have "full choice"

HA! How did you know his name, Vegas?! The funny thing is, his last name is EXTREMELY similar to Moron. Crazy. Just a one letter difference!

It doesn't even make sense to me why you have to see him at all. Most gyn doctors only see you if you are having issues, having a pap but not just to have a BC prescription refill.

I would call around and find a new doc as soon as possible, even if you have to keep one last appt. with Dr. Moron. Then at least you'll be all set for next time.

Might also try the local health department for a BC pill prescription.

You don't take Yaz by chance do you?

I was going to say try planned parenthood also. they can get you in and give you a prescription quite quickly, and then you have an entire month to find another dr. Why do we always procrastinate? It must be in our genes!!

You don't take Yaz by chance do you?

I don't. I tried it and it didn't work out so well, so now I'm on Yasmin.

I have two appointments set. One with my new Dr and one with my old. I just plan to refill my new pack a few days before my appt with Dr. Moron and then cancel day of.

Careful. some doctors will make you pay

something if you don't give them a 24 hour

notice before you cancel.

Actually, have your pharmacy call for a refill. All the times I have ever done this for BC pills they will give you another month without seeing you. HTH
