Last year he gave me 4 months. Now I'm waiting to see if he'll give me 5 months free which would be absolutely fabulous.
My insurance gives me $1 off. Woohoo.

2 years later and Yasmin is a whopping $50 a month! I'm on my own insurance now ($347 every two months... not bad!) and I only pay $23 a month now. Thank god because that $50 was killing me.

When I was on Yasmin I only paid $9.75 with my insurance and now I pay $15 for NuvaRing but my doctor gives me 3 moth supply everytime I go to her, so I don't really pay for it. Thank God for insurance, especially BlueCrossBlueShield.

In my opinion...when it comes to birth control (especially when your college-age) more states should follow California.
California has the FamilyPact program which allows women to get birth control FREE (meaning the state will pay). I know that Texas doesn't have it, which I wish they did.

The Pill I'm on right now is SIXTY DOLLARS a month. Luckily my insurance covers most of it, but that's just ridiculous IMO.

I called my doctor's office--he said he would take care of it. BAM...two days later, my pharmacy called and said my prescription was ready.

umm, is this forreal? (dont know if trojangal is still posting, but i'd like to know) cause i'm supermega irregular - is that a medically related reason?

That's what I have too. Damn I wish I paid that much!
Speaking of which... I forgot to go pick up my prescription today. Great. 2 pills tomorrow!

Not everyone can take the pill . . .
After having what my doctor termed a "mini stroke" while on the pill, (slurred speech, vision - scary voodoo!) I changed to the diaphragm. It's cheap, easy, and no side effects. But I am apparently the last person on the planet to have used it - I always had to order the new one and wait for it to be delivered to the pharmacy.
My recent hysterectomy has made all this moot for me - but I did want to throw out another option.

Yes, it is. If you can get your dr or pharmacist to advocate for you, you can get your BC paid for by your insurance. Being irregular has to lead to some other medical issue, though. I got my BC paid for for dysmenarria (sp is waay off, lol), or extreme cramping, which was preventing me from daily activities, like going to school. It worked.
