Whats the cheapest form of birth control?

besides condoms!


we hate the feeling of them, but we wont have sex without them untill im on birthcontrol.


neither of us are prepaired for a baby, so we wont risk it.


i dont have medical insurance and i have a crappy 6.75 an hour, 13 a week job. i cant afford much.





please helpWhats the cheapest form of birth control?
Although it has a high upfront cost, Mirena (a progesterone-containing IUD) is one of the cheapest forms of reliable birth control. This is because the cost is spread over 5 years, which is how long Mirena can stay in. I don't know the US prices, but in Canada it costs $300-400. I suppose there would also be an insertion fee in the US - maybe this can be done for free/less somewhere like Planned Parenthood? Anyway, I would recommend you look into it, as $400/5 years = $6.50 a month.Whats the cheapest form of birth control?
A diaphragm. It's a one-time fee to pay for a re-usable item that you can put spermicide in, which is actually more effective than condoms.


Also, Planned parenthood has different fee categories for incomes - you have to make $200 a week to even fall into the first category.


I'd set up an appointment and have like $20 on you, and talk to a gynecologist to get some hormonal birth control, an IUC, or a diaphragm.

Also, with your income, you probably could qualify for health services from Planned Parenthood- they have free services and birth control for those who qualify. They have locations across the US

Get on birth control.





If you go to a local family planning agency, they will give it to you at a very discounted price since you don't make a whole lot. That's your best bet if you're looking for cheap!
You can go to your local health dept and get a pap smear and birth control for little or no cost. The pull out method is not safe you can still get pregnant.
Abstinence :)


Try a different brand of condoms - some feel better than others.
generic birth control
