- Have to get pap smears before being granted a prescription

Doctors will withhold birth control to coerce women to get regular pap smears, just because it's a lever they have available, not because it's related to the prescription.

I have to take both ADHD meds and birth control, and while it is much easier to get prescribed birth control, it's a similar level of stress of making sure my medication is regularly available, especially for someone who struggles with staying on top of timely tasks.

Do you use a smaller pharmacy or a chain? Would highly recommend getting setup with a smaller pharmacy that will value the endless recurring business and work with you to iron out all the seams. It should not be such a big deal to handle these basic things. Some even offer home delivery so you don't even have to lift a finger...

Do they still do that? HPV vaccine is on its way to eradicating cervical cancer.

Yeah they do that, way too often. My wife went in to a 32 week OB appointment and the hospital staff were trying to force her to get one, she just left and got a new OB clinic.
