Pill delivery?!?!

Ive been on the pill for 3 months now from the doctors for contraceptive purposes. I got prescribed 6 months worth so i still have 3 packets left to go. However, today there was a knock at the door from a guy from Lloyds Pharmacy (where i got my prescription from) and gave my mum another box of pills because I wasnt there to sign for them. He was all legit and everything but i was so confused because I wasnt expecting him, I am quite capable of getting them myself and im not due another load until 3 months time! What do you think is going on???

I wish mine got delivered! I was told that you can't do repeat prescriptions and you have to go back before getting them. How strange. I'd phone the doc and ask.

Ditto. Would make it so much easier!

I got a repeat prescription for the Pill...
OP, my kind of Pill comes in 6 month or 3 month amounts. Is it possible the doctors got confused and thought they'd prescribed you 3 months worth and so thought you were due for another batch?

I wouldnt trust it . I advise u to go back to your doctors with the pills to confirm.
