You could try calling your OB and explaining your situation. When I was a single Mom mine would give me free samples, sometimes 4 months worth, I would just pay out of pocket the rest of the time. This was many years ago, but I think I paid like $120 for 3 months of Orthotricyclen, but other brands might be cheaper. I didn't have health insurance that covered the pill at the time.

Wow Ididn't know that moter! It is good to know when I finally decide to wean off my pump

DH told me yesterday that there is a new job opening in his department that could mean anywhere from a $15,000 - $30,000 raise for him! I am hoping if he gets this job and we save a little money he will agree to #3 in a couple years! He had told me before that if he gets this raise I could quit working in 5 years, but I would have to give up my dream of having 3 kids...

 

[moter98]

Yeah all you need to do is call your dr and ask him to send in the script for it. Really saved us a bunch!

 

[Twinkie210]

oh i thought it was free for all women now due to the obamacare law they passed for free birth control for all? did i understand it wrong?

I think the new law requires health insurance to cover birthcontrol without a copay, the problem is most plans are grandfathered in, so I still have to pay my copays for mine.

 

[moter98]

yeah, any plan signed before 2010 i believe is grandfathered in, but starting 2014 i don't think they can deny you anymore. the generic birth control though works just fine! i took it for many years.

Birth control prices were the one thing I couldn't understand the argument about. I paid $15 for years when I had insurance and when I lost it was so scared that it would cost me a fortune.... $9 at Walmart. I had been over paying by $6 for years. Lol most women don't know that and drs usually will prescribe it without seeing you.

Preop is done and I am home. Also I went to the bathroom. So happy about that. Not a lot but enough to give me a small bit of relief. My dr was amazed that I didn't come in screaming. Said this should have been done last week. Midwives are great for normal birth I guess but not keen on dealing with problems. I am very excited and scared, will be awake for both surgeries. Yikes. Dh is over the moon. Maternity photos on Facebook. I am so happy with them.

 

[moter98]

good luck tomorrow mail......it's all going to go very smoothly

 

[mailcmm]

I hope so. Can't wait to see him.

 

[moter98]

try to get a good night's rest, big changes coming tomorrow.

 

[mailcmm]

Lol I don't know if I can sleep. Lol it's like the nightmare before Christmas.

 

[baby_bray]

Oh-mi-gosh mail...your maternity photos are waaaay too cute! I'm still in disbelief you were rocking those heels! Your family is just too adorable.
Don't stress out too much about the surgery. You'll do just fine, even being awake for both. Meeting Finn will blow everything else out of the water and you'll probably practically forget all about it...
I'll be thinking about you all tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[moter98]

Yeah I hear ya, I don't think I'd sleep much either.

 

[moter98]

Hey, at least you know you won't have a really long labor!
