I just destroyed two packs I had left over from when I stopped taken them. Felt good to finally be free of them. Not sure why I held on to them in the first place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control/page/2#post-869830 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:29:57 +0000 tiffanyanne 869830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to pay about $80/month! No insurance and no generic. :( Then I found out that I needed to pay $$$ for Femara just to GET pregnant, so after this baby is born, we probably won't be going back on BC!</p> <p>(And if by some miracle we get pregnant again right away, we don't mind. My hubby is 37 and this is our first!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control/page/2#post-869717 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:06:58 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 869717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$0.

Before TTC I was on Seasonique. I have private insurance. It was $270 for 3 months. So I guess it wasn't too much, but it was enough. After LO, I got Mirena which was $300 after insurance. At least it lasts for 5 yrs. By the time I'm 35, I won't want anymore kids anyway.lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control/page/2#post-869627 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:29:38 +0000 Adira 869627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: I had the SAME reaction when I first got mine for free too!

I hated it-expensive, and it made me feel.awful.</p> <p>We pay $0 now-NFP is free :) well, we had a class that we paid for, and I bought a thermometer, but that was three years ago, so I think it has been more than paid for by now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-869224 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:42:47 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 869224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the patch once, and it was $40 /m but then I went back to my usual, depo shot, and it was $0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-869132 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:08:13 +0000 Sapphiresun 869132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine is $60ish a month, but it's been covered by my insurance for the last few years, so it may have gone up without my knowledge in the last bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-869114 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:59:08 +0000 BananaPancakes 869114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$86 a month with insurance.

I got a Mirena after having M and didn't have to pay anything. I'm not sure if it was because the laws changed regarding what they have to cover but I was happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-868793 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:44:05 +0000 jhd 868793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mirena was 100% covered by insurance when i had it put in 3 years ago. didn't even have to pay for office visit to have it put in. but i did have to pay to have it removed. i switched jobs &amp; insurance since then so maybe that is why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-868786 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:41:34 +0000 Mrs. Polish 868786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was paying $17 but we switched to DH insurance and it's $0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-pay-for-your-birth-control#post-868774 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:37:51 +0000 swedishfish 868774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I used to pay $50/month and I was annovulatory.
