text: can anyone help me??? does anyone know of a birth control that you can get without a prescription or going to the doctor? i am going on a trip in april, and i dont want to have period when i go. i am 20, but i just dont want to go to the doctor, and i have never been on any kind of birth control before. how much does regular birth control cost? thanks!!! the only birth control pills i've ever heard of are from the doctor. however, in the us there is a place called planned parenthood where you can see a doc, get pills and checked up fast. it is also cheap or free.
