birth control and bfing
"Clisby" wrote in message
... Having the Mirena inserted was about $650. It lasts 5 years, and so is cheaper than Depo (my insurance doesn't pay for either.) I don't know the price of any other IUD. My copper-T was $350 plus $50 for the office visit, and a copper-T lasts 10 years. My insurance did not cover any of it, but it is still very cost-effective when averaged out over 10 years. Much less than bcp, and I don't have to remember to take it every day - that's what I like! Insertion was not what I'd call painful, just uncomfortable. I've never looked at Depo so can't comment on that. -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 9 mo.

... Having the Mirena inserted was about $650. It lasts 5 years, and so is cheaper than Depo (my insurance doesn't pay for either.) I don't know the price of any other IUD. My midwife charged $300 for the IUD (Paragard) and $100 insertion fee. My insurance paid for the insertion but not for the IUD itself. I plan on having another child in 2 years, so its not as cost effective as it would be if I kept it for 10 years, but for me, the benefit of not really having to worry about birth contol outweighed the cost. My second child was conceieved when my first was 8 months old... which was totally a surprise and a major freak out for me and I don't want to repeat those emotions again. I am loving my IUD now (had it for 1 month), although I am experiencing a lot more vaginal discharge (sometimes tinged with blood) than in the past. I am bfing a 3 month old so I haven't had a period with it in yet. -Cindy (mom to Joshua, 20 months and Jordan, 3 months) |
