My insurance doesn't cover hardly anything on my birth control. I thought they would cover it completely so when I started back on it after a many year hiatus I was shocked to learn that it would cost me 60 bucks. For the pill! They also barely cover pre-natal expenses. It's BS. They don't want to help me not get pregnant and they don't want to help me pay for it when I do get pregnant. Blatantly sexist. I think I'm going to have my pharmacy release my script so I can get it elsewhere.
Actually I just checked and they cover NOTHING on my birth control even though it is listed as a covered prescription. Yeah, that's effed up.

But really wanted to say something about the ortho tri-cyclen type pills - if you're super happy on a single level method like nuva ring or loestrin, then be careful switching to a three level pill. I did this and went so psycho.
'course, the opposite could hold true as well. If you're used to the levels, when you stop, your body may flip out.
But in general, when switching brands of pills, just be aware that your moods might change. You're not going crazy, it's just the hormones
My health insurance sucked for women's health also. It covered my doctor's visit, but didn't cover the pap smear. And that is really basic health care. Don't even think about trying to get STD testing covered
I'm lucky that I work for the University and have access to their health center as an employee and a student. Their care is already pretty cheap and having their insurance makes it a ton more affordable than going to an off-campus doctor. I think all my STD testing, the check-up, a ton of other tests for an infection that I had (several actually. My vajayjay wasn't very pleasant apparently!) only cost me 60 or 70 bucks and I had that charged to my student account. I'm so super lucky in that regard, but the whole system is a mess.
And ditto and karma on the changing pills. Not all birth control is created equally on the kinds and levels of hormones they use. This reminds me that it's time to take my pill! lol
i live in canada and we luckily have most of our health care covered, THANK GOD!!!
im also a student so im on my universities undergrad insurance.... hopefully everything works out with the PP, there are a few places like that up here and i know they are really helpful.
for those who have insurance but it doesn't cover birth control, do you have the option to mail away for a 3 month supply? If you do, it often is cheaper than getting it month by month.
Actually I just checked and they cover NOTHING on my birth control even though it is listed as a covered prescription. Yeah, that's effed up.
Have you looked in to this further? If it's listed as covered, find out why that's not being honored. I've worked in managed care and as an insurance broker...that doesn't seem right.
A friend just sent me this link that may help some of you out (I'm definitely going to try it out). It's a free card that can save you up to 75% on your prescriptions. It can even be used along with some insurance plans. I keep searching for the catch, but I can't find one. Savings is different for all prescriptions, so I don't know how much it will cover for BC.

hey girls...I don't have anything too relevant to say but I just wanted to pop in and say hi from spring break. That new bathing suit I mentioned is totally cute and I got lots of compliments and I feel awesome wearing it, so....good purchase!
I got money for my birthday to shop with also. I looked at the Old Navy dresses and am in love with some of them. Am hoping even though I am a 34D I can wear a strapless dress (obviously with a strapless bra though)..... Going to try them on tomorrow and hopefully use my coupon! Thanks again!

Which strapless dress at Old Navy are you looking at?? I went to Old Navy and looked at the smocked tube dress yesterday: oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=15292&pid=633416&scid=633416012 I normally wear a large, but they looked a little small in the chest area. So in order to accomodate my chest, I'm upping a size to make sure I'm fully covered
I shall be purchasing mine this weekend too, thanks to Handgunhips and my bonus from work!

Old navy does have a lot of really cute dresses, I got the orange crochet one and love it....
becareful not to get your hopes up on this one...http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=15292&pid=633410&scid=633410012 im a 38 D and normally wear a large, however the top didnt even cover like half of my breast.
Heyy! I've been reading all your fashion tips (and karma-ing along the way) and wanted to say Thanks! and OMG I dont know where to even begin for shopping!! lol

Yep that is the strapless one I like - although in pink. I will let you know how it fits tomorrow night! I am 34D so I don't think I am being too optimistic...... I also like this one which is probably more realistic for my age and bra size
just a side note on the whole birth contorl discussion (not sure if someone's said this)...make sure and count ahead till june on your weeks. there is nothing worse than having twisted sister red during bonnaroo and there is still time to tweak your cycle.

i just got back from Old Navy and bought a few things with my coupons I was a little bummed about the strapless dresses though. oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=15292&pid=633416&scid=633416012 They were a little "blousy" in the chest area which made my 34D boobs look even bigger. The sizes were plenty big enough - a large was huge on me and a medium was good but I think unless you have small boobs or have a very perky boob job, this dress is not so flattering...... Very bummed cos they looked so cute.
I also tried on the long turquoise dress but it was cut a little low under the arms and the chest for my liking
ughh, so i just went out to our mall and some stores we have around here (kohls, target, rue 21....) and they have the cutest dresses and skirts and it makes me sad cause i have no money. hopefully next week ill get my income tax and then ill have no money again.
I know some of you sew (I don't), and I noticed that JoAnn's is selling fabric that is smocked at the top. Looks like all you have to do is sew one seam and hem it and VOILA instant strapless sundress. Of course, you could always add coordinating fabric for straps, rick rack or other trim, etc. to personalize it. Cute prints and I believe it's 100% cotton, too!
