Instead of Going to the Doctor, You Can Now Get Birth Control This Way?

I know I'm the last person that should be writing a blog about birth control but this is crazy, isn't it?

If you own a smartphone these days, you can practically order just about anything from the palm of your hand.

I mean think about it: You have access to thousands of apps that let you do just about everything from reading the news, to paying your bills or even placing an order at your local Applebee's.

And now, apps are available to help you get your birth control without even stepping into a doctor’s office.

OK, wait... what?

While I can see this as something that might excite you ladies out there as far as it being convenient, or maybe a way to avoid seeing a doctor, don't you still need that personal interaction with your physician?

Apps like Lemonaid , Nurx and Maven , which have gained traction fairly subtly and largely through word of mouth, have made it possible to order birth control straight to a nearby pharmacy or even your home address.

Each app has a different process, but generally, they require patients to fill out a questionnaire or provide their answers in video form.  From there, a doctor or pharmacist reviews the provided information and can get birth control to the person rather quickly.

What do you think: Is this an option you would explore, or do you still like the old fashioned way and actually going to the doctor for your medicine?
