Cost of Diaphragm and Cap?

I am considering a diaphragm after having my fisrt child. He is 11 months old, and he weaned himself at 9 months. I tried the pill again after using it successfully for many years, but I immediately started gaining wait and losing energy and interest in sex. I quit after one cycle and noticed an immediate improvement. So I am going to make an appointment with my OB/GYN for a discussion.

However, I have never seen any information on the general cost of a diaphragm. My insurance would cover BC pills, but it would not cover an IUD if I wanted one. I am guessing they wouldn't cover the diaphragm either. Also, if I lose any more weight I might need to get a second one, so cost is an issue I need to consider.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Beckie

I've been researching too and I've found that they are between $45-90 plus the cost of getting a "fitting" from your GYN.
