You know, my GP prescribed me BC pills before. I don't see why you have to go to a specialist, especially if these are pills you've taken before. You can definitely get ADs from a GP. The one thing is they want you to have a yearly pap for the BCs, so if you don't have records, you'll have to see a gyno to get up to date.
Also try Planned Parenthood. They're cheaper than a regular gyno, and they can do all sorts of tests on the cheap too. The ones in my area accept insurance too, but even if you have none they can treat you and you pay on a sliding scale, according to income. They're also nicer, in my opinion, than the regular OB/GYN office slackeys. (My personal favorite thing about PP is that there are none of those obnoxious pictures of freshly squeezed out newborns plastered over the walls.)
Don't let this GP push you around!! None of us should have to settle for bad doctors anymore. The older we get, the less that compromise makes sense!
