And it's twice as much as I expected.


I had an IUD inserted back in April because the cost of monthly birth control was more than $50 a month.

ouch! I hate it when things cost twice as much as you think they do. It really isn't fair. And people that are phoning you to ask for money should be NICE. Jeeezzzzz! Good luck. You will handle it!

That lady was a jerk. When I called to ask about splitting co-payments at the hospital I had to stay in a few days ($415) they said I could do 25 bucks a month. I said yes but I mostly send them $50 twice a month.

And I WISH that IUD insertions required anesthesia! Way back in 2003 as I had one inserted I felt EXCRUCIATING pain, like they had borrowed the Jaws of Life from firemen to rescue a trapped egg in my uterus.

As I was doing the copay right after the procedure and standing at the checkout window I heard that buzzing, saw those bright spots and said "wow, I think I'm gonna...." then i heard everyone yelling CATCH HER!
Dropped like a ton of bricks right by reception area. EMMMMMMMMBARASSING :P

Well, the good news is that it really will save in the long run. Its an outlay now, but after 8 months you are ahead of the game!

Wow. That story is a great example of our broken healthcare system. I am so sorry that b#$%h spoke to you like that. She should be ashamed of herself.

Ironically, that WAS Planned Parenthood.

You all just are making me really glad I never had to use any form of birth control!
