Emergency Contraceptive Online Resource
I'm just posting this as I'm guessing I'm not the only person who will need this someday and it saved my butt...
Condom broke and worst storm in 50 years hits Reno/Tahoe. There is literally 4+ feet of snow in the valley and 6+ in Tahoe. Made it down from Tahoe to call my Doc. My Dr. is closed, Planned Parenthood's line rings forever. Luckily I found getthepill.com and they faxed my Rx into a pharmacy within the hour! It costs $24.95 for the Rx and then whatever the cost to get the Rx filled locally. They also provide normal BC pills. They fill prescriptions 7 days a week.
Just thought someone might need to know someday.

Great resource Veronika! I'm sure that will come in handy for a lot of people. I'm glad they're doing it and making it so easily available. Also glad you got it when you needed it!
Re: Emergency Contraceptive Online Resource
yep... the site saved me twice during two seperate condom breaks.
Re: Emergency Contraceptive Online Resource
This would be great for women that need help right then.

I'm glad to know about it...in Pittsburgh, the Planned Parenthood office closes at 3 PM on Saturday. Just me, or does this make no sense whatsoever? Logically, you'd think that they'd want to be open on Sunday...but maybe this is just me. And NO WHERE is open on weekends, so you have a good chance of being absolutely screwed if you actually need EC (and the sooner you take it, the better). This site would almost be better than going through your doctor...I'm in school so I had to call my doctor three states away, and have a different doctor give me the third degree in such a way that I felt like a whore for asking!!
Apparently, a couple of states (Washington, for one, I don't know which others) offer it OTC, so anyone with friends from around there, have them hook you up in case of emergency. Having it onhand beats panicking when you CAN'T because no place is open.
