Affordable meds, terrible treatment of patients
I got my birth control fine and at a fair price. That's the only reason I'm leaving 2 stars. I started this birth control, then underwent surgery a week later, then started my period the day after surgery, even though I skip my period every month and have for years. I reach out to the "care team" to ask if breakthough periods are normal and I highly regret this. I should have just gone to planned parenthood. The care team asked me a bunch of unnecessary questions over the course of 4-5 days without answering my questions about the period then determined I was "unsafe to continue the medication" even though both my surgeon and doctor advised me to continue taking the birth control as my risk for blood clots due to surgery was over. The care then canceled my future birth control subscription for 2024! Why would this experience make me uneligible for birth control a YEAR FROM NOW? They said I could continue to get medication delivered through them if I got a prescription from my doctor. This completely eliminates the whole reason I signed up and paid for this. I will now have to drive to the doctor, pay for the visit, then get a prescription and purchase it through this company if I ever want to get birth control from here again. They then told me that I needed a "higher level of care" than they could offer and stopped replying to my messages. All I did was point out they never answered my question about my period and then they cut off affordable health resources for me. I have read the company's reply and as you can see, they have confirmed everything I said. Instead of answering my questions about my period, they cut me off from health resources and require me to go to my own doctor for future prescriptions. I will never get birth control from the pill club again because it makes absolutely no sense to drive to the doctor, pay for the doctors visit, then pay the pill club to send more meds to me when the point of this is to do it FROM HOME. I will be funding my local Walmart pharmacy and wasting my money and gas instead. Screw you pill club. YOU NEED A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE
