So these birth control pills the Doc has me on cost $31.99 per month. My insurance doesn’t cover them. Reading through the information on my insurance - - I find that they cover 100% of maternity costs…pregnancy check-ups, hospitilization, well-baby check ups and all that. They cover tubal ligation (sterilization), they cover vasectomies - - but they do not cover the cost of birth control per month.
$383.88 per year. Compared to how many $$ in a year for pregnancy, delivery, hospitilization, doctors visits, and the insurance costs for the kid after it’s born?
Doesn’t seem to make much sense to me. In the meantime - I’m trying to find a place where I can get the prescription cheaper. Drugstore.com has it for about 50 cents cheaper - - hardly worth it.
Maybe I’ll look into obtaining it from Canada. ![]()

Family planning? I thought that was what I was doing by preventing the pregnancy to begin with! lol
Unless you mean an organization like Planned Parenthood? Tried them — my income is too high to qualify for their reduced rate.
bah - no answer here, I’ll just bear the cost of it, because I’m unwilling to bear the consequences if I don’t!
