I might be going to England!! ! YAY!! !! !! ! 
I'm going there to see my boyfriend just-you. I still have a few things to do to make this trip possible but if all goes well ill be flying across the pond!! !!
Haven't seen him in 2 and a half years so were both very excited at the possibly of seeing each other again.
I posted this in this section to ask a few questions to women who live in England.
I need birth control for obvious reasons..... 
And I wanted to know if the NHS gives it to people who are not citizens of England?
Or would they give it to him if he asked?
What does it cost and how would I go about getting it when I'm there?
Can I get it here in America and just bring it on the plane with me?
Could I get a RX in America and just have a doctor in England and just fill it ?
Thanks for the help!

I'm not a woman, but hopefully I can help.
And I wanted to know if the NHS gives it to people who are not citizens of England?It depends if you need a prescription. You get the meds at a pharmacy. Even in hospitals unless it is directly a part of you stay you go over the pharmacy. NHS prescriptions are completely different from private ones (which could simply be on a slip with a letter head). To get a NHS prescription you have to get it from a doctor that is registered for NHS practice, and you have to register to their NHS clinic. Depending where it is there may be a waiting list to get on. Private will be able to see you one off, same day, but obviously at a price.
It is possible with a prescription to collect drug for a relation (not controlled drug like stimulant, but few ever ask for ID), though it is likely for stuff like this they would expect to see you because they will give you information/advice. Many forms of birth control can be bought without a prescription in places, including the morning after pill (in some towns).
On the NHS £7.20 per item. Private whatever the market value. So check the private is not cheaper.
Yes I would do this, it will save you time and hassle.
It is entirely up to the pharmacy what drugs they sell you providing they are allowed to get those drugs. Many do accept foreign scripts, but you do need the doctor's contact details on the script. You might ring one from the states and ask them, or have your doctor fax them.
