Sharing good news.
I was JUST grumbling to myself about disliking my job, and then, I get a call from my Doc.
Insurance answered my inquiry about getting a Mirena. It's gonna cost me a whole $15 co-pay for the IUD and insertion.
The insurance keeps me at this job, I pay $10 a week for it, company pays the rest.
Not bad for a $900 BC device.
I actually stood up from my desk and did a happy dance, my coworkers are confused.

My company has an HMO, and they pay everything so I don't have anything out of pocket every month. And so far, I've been able to see each of the doctors I want to see, but I hate having to get referrals from my PCP when they don't give a sh*t in the first place if I'm seeing a chiropractor or my gyno.
When I moved to where I live now, the planned parenthood was a little different. They are a little overwhelmed. Our area houses refugees and immigrants that need to use a lot of their resources and time.
So they were worn thin, and not as welcoming. I honestly do feel lucky to have a job and insurance so I don't have to go back to that one. (I once waited over 2 hours for a pelvic exam, and I had scheduled it over a month earlier.)

I was told this on Etiquette when I was talking about it earlier this week.
I asked the lady on the phone to repeat herself like three times:
1.) I take this orally. (There is another drug that is supposed to be inserted, so I wanted to make sure.)
2.) And I take it 4 hours before the appt. (And I confirmed my appt time, and the actual time I'm going to take it.)
I think I read your warning and someone elses's. I think I'm going to set an alarm on my phone, def. not something I want to forget.</div>

[QUOTE]Don't you have to have had at least one child before you can get an IUD?

Nope. A lot of doctors recommend it though, for various reasons.
No you do not have to have had a child to get an IUD, it is recommended though.

<div>This. I got kicked off of my parents insurance one month short of the new bill that would have let me stay on it. I'm now paying out the butt for the school's insurance since I only work part-time and don't qualify for health insurance at work. I seriously think their plan is to give you an ulcer in trying to figure out how you're going to pay for it and then make you pay more to get the ulcer treated as soon as you get coverage...</div>

I'm glad to hear you got approved for your IUD :-) I'm sure that will be 1 less headach!
Again, I may be wrong and if so, correct me. I need to look into this anyways.
