in Texas reproductive shenanigans....

Posted by St. Epiphany (aka Epiphany) Jun 7 '22, 12:17

my 14 year old niece has to take a pregnancy test every time she renews her birth control. once every three months. They will not give a script for anything longer than three months ( ridiculous). I've heard of a pregnancy test PRIOR to giving a script ( makes sense) but every three months when you are taking the birth control. ( seems sus)

either its a money grab? the sister in law is pissed she had to pay $ 75 out of pocket for an unnecessary pregnancy test

or they are really keeping track of young women who are sexually active ( she's not but they don't know that).

shits getting F'd up all around.

what happens if you take BC pills while you are pregnant? this is more about making it inconvenient for women. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 7, 13:14
The 3 month nothing longer script issue is also one I deal with. For my psych meds. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jun 7, 12:54 2
- Making you take a pregnancy test is a bit overkill though. -- nm - Dano Jun 7, 13:04
- maybe a state board issue then regarding the 3 month script? -- nm - St. Epiphany Jun 7, 12:58
I’m guessing it’s a bullshit CYA by the doctors office so they don’t get sued? - znufrii Jun 7, 12:39 3
- maybe? SIL is taking her to PP instead. she's had enough - St. Epiphany Jun 7, 12:52 2
  - Your IM is a feature, not a bug, yes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 7, 12:54 1
