Argh, I swear, nothing is ever simple.
I had to go to the clinic this morning for a birth control resupply. I've been using the Patch since early last summer. Well, TODAY they decide to tell me that - surprise! - MaineCare (Medicaid) doesn't cover the Patch. The prescription was a total error on their part, and they've apologized (big f***ing deal!), and given me the Pill instead.
Fine. Except that they tell you that if you have D, you should use backup protection. Well, I have D all the freaking time now. And ya know, using a backup ALL THE TIME kind of defeats the purpose of using the pill in the first place, don'tcha think?
I'm terrified of getting pregnant - it would, literally, be the WORST thing that could happen to me right now. So what do I do? Take the pill and take my chances? Or NOT take the pill and take my chances?!
Anyone who thinks Medicaid is a handout should live in my shoes. They stopped paying for my Lexapro, too. The only reason I'm still taking it is because my pharmacy is finagling a little. The state obviously wants me pregnant and suicidal, and I think that's pretty screwed up.
