--not permanently employed, so not permanently insured

Yes, it is. If you can get your dr or pharmacist to advocate for you, you can get your BC paid for by your insurance. Being irregular has to lead to some other medical issue, though. I got my BC paid for for dysmenarria (sp is waay off, lol), or extreme cramping, which was preventing me from daily activities, like going to school. It worked.

Yes. I was unable to get in at any doctor in the greater Minneapolis area for the next two months (WHAT) so I just went to one of the PP PLAN places (they are sort of "express" PPs) and was able to get 3 months of birth control for $45, no exam or anything. Check it out.
