A member asked:

Do you know if there are any of these birth control pills available over-the-counter (without prescription)?

Unfortunately No: Although birth control pills are safe, they are not yet sold over the counter. To avoid the pharmacy, consider a long acting, reversible method of birth control like an implant or IUD so that you don't have to remember to get your pill/patch/ring at the pharmacy. Easy to place and fewer side effects as well because they provide a sustained release of hormones at low levels.
