Help! On holiday and have forgotten my pill!

[Floridagirl]

Just landed in Florida for 3 weeks and have discovered that I forgot to pack an additional strip of birth control pills. I've got about 7 days left, any ideas where I need to go to get more and how much it's likely to cost?
I'm in the Kissimmee area if anyone has any local knowledge.

I think you’re going to have trouble tbh. I’d either lay off the sex or get some condoms.

I would Google local pharmacies and go in one and ask if there is anything that can be done. Make sure you take with you the packet/strip so you can show them the ones you are on. Or else what PP said.

Can you get it posted to your hotel, with a cover note from your doctor or chemist, in case it’s opened in the sorting office. I’ve been watching too many programs about drug smuggling. 😁

I used to live in Orlando, admittedly it was 10 years ago but it was very hard to get them, I used to have to drive across town, about 40 minutes to 'planned parenthood' and pay around USD 25 per month. This may well be out of date now but I suspect you're going to have to manage without the pills. I've done this before and appreciate its a total pain!

Thanks for the replies everyone, to be honest it's not about the sex, quite happy to abstain, it's just that it's the mini pill so I don't usually have a period and don't really want that plus all the accompanying hormones while on holiday 😱
Think I'll have to just find a pharmacy and ask, they must be used to stupid British people forgetting things.

If you've got 7 days left you don't need to worry about getting pregnant from previous sex. I'd carry on taking the rest of the pack and just use condoms from now on.

They might be used to British people forgetting things but that doesnt mean they'll Have your pill in stock or that they’ll be able to sell your it.

P.s. I was on the mini pill and when I stopped
taking it period arrive about 4.5-5 weeks later so you hopefully won't have a period whilst on holiday.

I think you may struggle in America but worth asking!

Just take your current packet to a pharmacy and explain. I've always been sold a new packet (usually when I'd forgotten to take it and remembered on my way to work, so didn't have the old packet with me) admittedly never in America.
