I totally thank them. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to get my Depo years ago.

Is birthcontrol difficult to acquire in the States?

IMO, it can be frustrating:
PAYING FOR BIRTH CONTROL

I'm looking into getting an IUD. My gyn just told me the other day that some insurances won't cover that, and that they are expensive. I'll be S.O.L. if I can't get one (I can't take hormonal BC methods because of my other health issues). However, if in the event that I can't get the IUD, then I'll have to look into a tubal ligation.
