Hey
Iv always got the pill from a clinic during school but now iv left that isn't possible really, so i think i'm going to have to ring up the doctors and ask for some more. The question is what do i say? Know it sounds stupid cos it's kinda obvious, but i mean what do you generally say when you ring for that kinda thing?

You'll need to get checked because there are side effects with any medication.
After that you will be able to get the pill on repeat prescription with an occasional check up - usually six/twelve monthly.
You should actually never get the pill on repeat prescription. Most people get a six monthly prescription and then you go back to see the GP or preferably the nurse for a pill check to renew the prescription.
make an appointment with your doctor.
i would've thought your school would've explained this.
Interesting. My wife always got hers on a three monthy basis and got a check up every six.
How will the 28 day prescription rule change affect this, do you think? Assuming you know about it that is. I wondering if this has filtered down to GP practices yet...
