I was blue after mine and my OB prescribed something right away - funny thing was as soon as he told me I was, "fine-take these", I felt better right away and never had to use them.

Try calling the insurance company and asking for a list of covered doctors. I recently called for a friend with CareFirst and was advised to make the appointment and the doctor would get the authorization at that time, the catch was that they couldn't get an apppointment for a month. Send her to the OB to try to at least get on meds while you wait for the appointment.

Hope all goes well for her.
