Oh how many girls have asked this before?

Alright, so I've been to planned parenthood in New York before, and their prices (obviously) are higher, than say in other locations. What is the cheapest or quickest way to get the morning after pill? I looked though several pages of health and doctors, but the closest I could find was ob/gyn and birth control questions. I should also mention I'm

It's available over the counter at any drugstore.

Not cheap though, about ~$35, but if you genuinely need it....

There's also a way to kind of fudge it using a megadose of normal birth control pills, which you might look up how to do if you have any.

Calling Planned Parenthood is worth a shot though.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that a failed attempt at fudging would end up costing more than the genuine article in the long run.

i believe it was like 4 of the dark blue ones (in tri-cyclen lo) but i don't recommend that for anyone. i got so sick and nauseous for days following it.

also, $35 is a lot cheaper than having an unexpected pregnancy.

I am pretty sure that the price is set on the pill($40), so it should not be any different at planned parenthood than anywhere else.You don't have to show any proof of insurance, just proof that you are 17.

You can get it for free at any Department of Health clinic in the city.

Excellent.

my comment exactly.

actually, not every drugstore carries it, which is unfortunate. it's best to call ahead and ask that store if they have it in stock. it was $45 at duane reade last i checked.
but hey, if you can get it for free at the DOH, go for that.
good luck!
