I read on my child-free forum that most insurance does not cover it. People were talking about paying $500 and up total just to get it.
I walked into the pharmacy yesterday and picked mine up, along with the antibiotics to help fight infections after insertion and she was like "$10 PLZ."
I said, "Wow, that's it?"
"Yup. Were you expecting more?" She laughed
"Yeah. Some people I know who have had this talked about paying up to $500 for it."
She showed me the retail price on the prescriptionm and sure as ********, it was $498.
I PAID $5 FOR THAT.
$5 FOR NO BABIES FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS. I'll be 42 when I'm finished with it. I'll probably get a tubal after that.

It's about time insurance companies realize it's cheaper to prevent pregnancy than to sustain it. Glad it worked out for you.

I don't have it in yet. Procedure is on Thursday morning.
It's sitting at home on my computer desk in a sterilized plastic/paper package.
I've been told various things by others that have it. From "WORST EVER" to "Eh." and "Uncomfortable."

Arianah It's about time insurance companies realize it's cheaper to prevent pregnancy than to sustain it. Glad it worked out for you. Very true. I don't mind if insurance providers cover fertility treatments as long as they cover prevention too. A lot of the 'hardline' childfree people I talk to think it's insane and that people should adopt if they need in vitro and BLAH IT'S A CHOICE TO HAVE KIDS BLAH BLAH but I think it's alright as logn as BOTH choices are seen as valid.
It would seem as a lot of people who have/want kids think it's easy to get sterilized (it's hard as s**t if you're female) they seem to think adoption is an easy process.
Heh, I also like kids more than most of the people there. It's a moderate board, but some of the people there, children bother them so much I'd almost consider it a phobia. I seem to be the only one there that doesn't villainize teenagers, probably because of how active I am here.

I hope it goes well, I'm glad your insurance covered it.
