Yes, I'm being a PW lately, sorry....I just started the pill b/c my stupid insurance only covers the pill or Depo, I really wanted an IUD.
I swear after only 2 days, my belly is bloated like no other!
Have any of you done Depo? My NP seemed to try to talk me out of it b/c of side effects, but I just want something easy (I already messed up taking the pill at EXACTLY the same time today) with minimal side effects...and that my insurance covers.
Thanks!
Re: BCP = Weight gain?
I always had trouble with weight gain on the pill, but I took it for ten years anyhow! Sometimes switching to a different brand helps. My sister has had the bc implant in her arm now for five years and loves it...
That sucks! I don't think they have a choice whether to cover it or not, but there are definitely some exclusions. My insurance company has a bunch of documents on their website stating what is covered and what isn't so maybe see if your insurer has the same?
I called my insurance co before my appt and was told they DO NOT cover BC "devices". As in, I'd have my $40 prescription copay even for the ring...and IUD isn't covered at all. I'm on a company plan, and I work for a hospital, so I'm curious about how this works for you? It would be sweet, but I guess I'm just going to settle on some BCP for the time being.
Thanks for the info ladies!
