Hi! I have been taking Mili (Estarylla) Birth Control pills for the 4 years. I had to get out of my job for a few months but now I'm without insurance and my prescription refills have ended. I should be back to my job next month and my insurance would come back the month after but l am trying to find out what to do in the meantime for my birth control prescription refill.

I recently found out that there is Opill which is a OTC birth control and I could buy a 3 pack for as low as $50 at the pharmacy. Is it reasonable/safe for me to take Opill while without insurance and then get back to my Mili prescription once I have my insurance again and can go to a doctor?

I'm open to other suggestions as well. Just trying to find out an efficient and affordable way to stay on birth control during this transitional period without insurance.

Also, if I do end up switching to Opill for this 3 months period, what should I be aware of related to switching from Mili to it?
