I just started yasmin and I haven't had to
fill a prescription yet. I don't have
any health insurance, other than emergency
coverage, so i'll have to pay for the pill
myself. I forgot to ask my gyno how much
it would cost and i'm in college with very
little money. Anyone else here on yasmin
and not covered? How much does it cost?

I don't know about yasmin in particular,
but the cost of my ortho tri cyclen pills
was $45. I would highly recommend you go
thru your student health center on campus
for the pills, as they will most likely
give you free or greatly discounted pills.
If they don't, or you don't want to wait
for classes to start up, try going to a
planned parenthood clinic. They have a
sliding fee scale, so they'll give you
discounted pills as well. $45 a months
for birth control is ridiculous; you'd be
better off with condoms and spermicide
(much cheaper).

Yeah, i'm assuming it's rather horrible
and expensive. I'll have to ask about my
student health center options... I got
to a very small college and it seems like
all they have available is condoms and
band-aids...But maybe they have some
resources I don't know about.

When I was on yasmin, it was $30/mo. And
that was with my insurance!

Yeah, that's the only information I can
get. Everyone I know has insurance. I
can't afford 60 dollars a month or
something horrible like that. :p

I know this is a crazy idea...Haha...But
have you ever considered going to planned
parenthood? Now that you got checked out
by your doctor and you know everything's
a-ok, you could go to planned parenthood
and get your pills. They charge
$30/month, which is cheaper than $60 :)

I've contacted planned parenthood. There
are none near my home but there is one
near my college. I'm waiting for a
response.
