1.) How many months’ supply can we bring with the form in hand? I’ve heard 3 months and I’ve heard a year. I looked on the official website for this sort of thing and didn’t find anything.
2) I take birth control to skip my periods as they are very unbearable for me. So, I take it continuously (skip the placebo week). Will it be hard to find a doctor that will prescribe it that way for me (or will they insist I take the placebo week)? Or should I have it imported? Anyone with any experience getting it imported (things like how long the process takes/not getting it in time?)

I think it’s supposed to be a 3 month supply. I filled out all the forms etc, but when I landed in Japan nobody asked for it at the airport. I handed it in at the customs area, but the staff there was super confused about what to do with the form, so idk how strictly they enforce this kind of thing. (mine was also birth control)
I’ve been getting the pill from K Ladies Clinic in Tokyo and they only required me to fill out a form online and they just mail me the pills without asking any other questions. So it was super easy to get it. The only issue I can think of is if you’re very particular about the brand of birth control you take. They might not carry it so you might have to settle for an alternative brand.
