buying birth control pills

[vagabond48]

I know this forum is mostly male dominated but perhaps you might know the answer through your wives.

My wife needs to start using the pill. I dropped by one of the local pharmacies and they had them in 1 month supply only.I would prefer getting them in 3 months quantity as I am assuming they would be much cheaper. Of course in Thailand, that logic may not apply.

My wife buys hers at Makro, Diane-35 brand, a bayer product. She says you can buy them in a package for 6 months. When she buys individual packs they are about 140 baht for the month.

Just go with an injection like you do with dogs. Cheaper, and easier, just once every three months. If you plan it right you can use the same reminder for your 90-Day notification.

Any medicine shop can deliver the pill.

Local manufacture or imported.

For one month, or more months.

Price, as my daughter tells me, 2 baht per day......

WinnieTheKwai: Yours is the only post for quite some time that actually made me LOL! Thanks.

Yeah, a whiff of misogyny always goes down well on TV. (Those shots are available though, it's not complete BS.)

Do the injections cause more of the weight gain side effect vs the pills or is it an individual thing. My exWife ballooned up on the stuff ( brand name Deproprovera).

Or the subcutaneous implant.

Within a few years we will all probably be compelled to get a subcutaneous implant!

Diane 35 is widely available in multipacks.
