I know that you can now get Yazmin in Korea, but have heard conflicting opinions as to whether it is available over the counter or not.

I found an online pharmacy that delivered to Korea to get my birth control. I tried Mercilon (?) and it made me sick so I turned to the net. I got Depo Provera and I asked a gynocologist to give me the injection. She did.

Can I ask where you got depo? I was on it before I came here but nobody would do it (I was told it wasn't available).

I started using Yasmin a few months ago. I actually went to the doctor first and he just told me to go to any pharmacy.
I now get it over the counter - 2 or 3 packs at a time.

I found that not every pharmacy has it but the one that I do go to just hands it over. No problems.
