Question to the ladies...

[ALVIN]

and anyone else that knows. Does anyone know where I can take my fiancee to get an I.U.D and that accepts medicaid. I would greatly appreciate an answer. We tried her OB-GYN but he doesn't do IUDs. any help would be great. thanks.

[Wurm]

wtf is a iud

[£G2♣]

^^ im with you on that lol

[ALVIN]

its another form of contraceptive.

What is an IUD

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small object that is inserted through the cervix and placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy. A small string hangs down from the IUD into the upper part of the vagina. The IUD is not noticeable during intercourse. IUDs can last 1-10 years. They affect the movements of eggs and sperm to prevent fertilization. They also change the lining of the uterus and prevent implantation. IUDs are 99.2-99.9% effective as birth control. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.

internal urinary defection buhahahah just a guess i dont feel like googlin it

[Wurm]

gotcha birthcontrol

[Leisa]

i didnt even think they still had those around..lol

[lexi2003]

what gyn/ob does she go to? I live in Forsyth and I go to macon gyn/ob i dont know if she is around that area or would travel that fair but if she wants the number address or what not just pm me and i will send it and she can call and find out if that would help

[ALVIN]

Lexi - her ob-gyn is in lawrenceville next to Gwinnett Medical.

Leisa - yea they have different ones now-a-days. I think the one she wants to go with is the copper one because it causes less complications than the Mirena one. It can last up to 12 years and is 99.2-99.9% effective. We just don't want another child until our daughter is at least 5 years old or hell even at least if she is out of diapers lol. But we figure an IUD and condoms should be good. She's tried birth control pills but they made her bleed non-stop and she almost had to go to the hospital because of it, and when she stopped taking the pills it made her more fertile which brought us here being 19 with a almost 2 month old.

[ALVIN]

We have called the Planned Parenting center in Gwinnett and they are not sure if they will accept medicaid anymore since it is trying to back charge them for previous IUDs done. We will call again on monday since the lady we talked to didn't know too much. But they do do IUDs at $500 a pop and I dont have that kind of money right now thats why we are trying to find a place that takes medicaid.

[babygurl]

WOW that is crazy amount of money...Honestly I would try speaking wtih medicad and see what they say. Might as well go straight to the source

[lexi2003]

yeah....i am on medicaid........ i am almost 7 months pregnant and my doc takes it i hope she finds what she needs i know it is hard....i got off a certain kind of birth control pill that was making me sick (the one that helps ache plus is birthcontrol whichever one that is) got on another and got pregnant

[ALVIN]

do you know what you are having yet...you should but the only reason I am asking is cuz my fiancee and I didnt find out until she had the baby. We had 6 ultrasounds and in each one my daughter wouldn't show anything.

[DreamerTheresa]

Does she want permanent birth control?

Tell her to look into Essure.

[ALVIN]

lol nooo not permanent just 5 years lol.

[lilMOMMY]

no i dont want perma-birth control. i def. want more kids later on.
cuz my doc told me not to take bc pills cuz i might have gal stones
and that would interfer.. and i want an IUd so i dont havta worry bout it.

just needa find a place that does them. cuz the health center doesnt do
them anymore which is fuckin gay.. but w/e...

[lexi2003]

i am having a boy i found out the first time i went to find out what it was

[ALVIN]

congrats on having a boy. My fiancee and I both wanted a boy first but we got a girl. Either way she is our pride and joy.

on another note. The health center in lawrencville does it and we are going through them cuz they accept medicaid.

[rickgiblin]

hey, wheres the planed parenthood place in gwinnett? is there one around suwanee or buford? i know the one down at my old college gave out free bags of condoms. do they do that at these?

[ALVIN]

I believe so I think they also give out free condoms at the health center. you can go to www.ppga.com to find out where the gwinnett one is.
