PreventionThe cost of birth control may vary depending on your insurance plan and the type of contraception you're looking for. Price ranges for common forms of birth control are:
Birth control pills: Birth control pills usually cost between $0-$50 per month. A prescription is needed for hormonal birth control pills, so you will need to have a consultation or physical with a health care professional before you can purchase this type of birth control. If you are uninsured, this visit can cost anywhere from $20-$100+.
Intrauterine device (IUD): IUDs must be inserted by a doctor, and can cost between $0-$1,300. An IUD is 99% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies and can last anywhere from 3-12 years.
Birth control shots (Depo-Provera): Birth control shots contain the hormone progestin, which will prevent ovulation. Basically, this means that there will be no egg to fertilize, making pregnancy extremely unlikely. Birth control shots must be given every 3 months and can cost between $0-$150 per shot.
Vaginal ring (NuvaRing): Vaginal rings release hormones that prevent ovulation. Vaginal rings are 91% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies but must be replaced every month. Vaginal rings (such as NuvaRing) can cost between $0-$200.

The Irishuter – a leading unionist in the UK – announced today that it would soon launch a contraceptive injection called Depo-Provera for use in men who have sex with men. Depo-Provera is a synthetic hormone used to prevent pregnancy.
Depo-Provera, which was approved in 1992 by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of certain types of cancer, is used in hormone-dependent cancer patients to prevent pregnancy. It contains the synthetic hormone progesterone, which works by preventing ovulation. This contraceptive injection is currently being manufactured in Europe and can only be used by a doctor who has had experience in contraceptive injections.
The birth control injection is available only in a pack of 2. The birth control injection is indicated for use by women at risk of pregnancy and should only be used as recommended by a doctor. The birth control injection may also be used for other purposes not mentioned in this announcement.
The birth control injection is not a contraceptive, but rather a method of contraception that a healthcare professional can prescribe. It is not intended for women to use or to become pregnant. It is used for the treatment of:
· Pregnancy of women at risk of pregnancy and the use of an intrauterine device (IUD).
· The use of an IUD to prevent pregnancy. If this is not effective, the injection is used in a second-line treatment in which it is used to treat certain types of contraception. The IUD is not intended for use in pregnancy. It should not be used in combination with other pregnancy prevention or contraception methods.
The birth control injection may be used for other purposes, such as:
· Injection of a single hormone-containing injection (for example, a hormone coil) to prevent pregnancy, or for contraception in women with a uterus. The injection is used in this case only if there are no other contraceptive options available.
· Injection of a hormonal shot to prevent pregnancy. If this is not effective, the shot is used in a second-line treatment in which it is used to treat certain types of contraception.
· Injection of a single hormone-containing injection (for example, a hormone coil) to prevent pregnancy, or to prevent pregnancy after menopause. This is also used for birth control in women who have a history of pregnancy.
