Silly BCP question....
Do they make generic brand BCP pills? I am paying an arm and a leg through my ins. every month for my bcp, and was just curious since generics are so cheap. I'm sure they don't, but just wondering.

Re: Silly BCP question....
Ok, that's good to know (that they make it, not that it makes you nuts ) I need to look into this. I'm currently on Yasmin, and I like it, it's ok, but not for the freaking 35 dollars a month. On the one hand, it's just 35 dollars, on the other hand, that's too much ot pay every month when you have ins. At least, that's what I think.

Yea-
Orth- tricyclen was costing me about the same (or maybe even more )
Tri-nessa dropped it down to $5/ month
I go to the GYN on Wed... we are having a long talk about BC- because this past year has been miserable and Im done!

I was on Yasmin and There was no generic. I was paying $35.00 too. I switched to ortho-tri-cyliin Lo ans it's still $35.00...no generic.
