At my college to get birth control you have to have a pregnancy test each month. Do you have to do this at your school??

um no. that sounds like a violation of the law.

The policy’s complete disregard for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities, is astonishing. Title IX and its regulations explicitly mandate that schools cannot exclude any student from an education program or activity, “including any class or extracurricular activity, on the basis of such student’s pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy or recovery therefrom.”

Not every month, but every time I renew my prescription, yes. They don't want to give a pregnant gal birth control.

Not sure how not giving birth control without a pregnancy test is exclusion from anything.

I think it's always required for a pregnancy test to be done before someone is going to give out a prescription for birth control. If not and that person was pregnant, they could end up suing if something happened to them or to their unborn child.

I understand that part, but to make it so that people cannot get access to birth control when they need it by law does not make any sense. What is the school then going to be able to do say they can do with your results? Tell your parents?

I don't have to do a pregnancy test every time I get my prescription from Planned Parenthood. Birth control is to keep me from getting pregnant.
I don't know if sweatpea12 goes to a private school or not. That then would make a difference. But federally funded education programs do not have the right to deny birth control just because you won't take the test unless you are living in a state that the local laws are being made in the dark ages. They are supposed to have it available without any hooks.

omg no. We just have to get a yearly woman exam to get birth control from our school. It's the same even if you don't go to school either. Although if you go to the doctors sick they often think you are pregnant...

Also at the yearly annual I wasn't required to take a pregnancy test.

it is recommended to do that prior to starting on birth control. it is also recommended you do so if you are on a birth control that causes your period to stop, like the shot.

My roommate is an educator for Planned Parenthood so it is true for first timers and especially the Depo shot. However, an ongoing policy of pregnancy tests I have never heard of.

Very interesting. My college does not do that.

My college does not require you to have a pregnancy test before giving prescription. Maybe it if is to renew a prescription (like once a year maybe, but not every month). I am actually just about to get an implant. It is a little tube they put in your arm and it is good for three years...I am just done with being on the pill and always scared about missing it or taking it too late.

Uh... no.
I've never needed a pregnancy test to get birth control, except perhaps the first time I ever went to see a gynecologist and got my prescription...
That seems strange.
