I GOT APPROVED!!!
For the IUD, all I have to pay is my copay!!! WOOHOO and my doc said it was fine too!!! I"m soooo excited!!! I go next Friday at 11:15!!! WOOOHOOO TO NO MORE PILLS!!!! 
Re: I GOT APPROVED!!!
Rock on! From experience (my BFF's, not mine) here is a suggestion:
Take something STRONG beforehand for pain (Percocet, etc if you have it left from another Rx) or 800mg ibuprofen about 30 min - 1 hour before your appointment. I have heard that it is uncomfortable, and that you can have some uterine contractions (mostly for ladies who have not had kids before cause their uterus has never been stretched before).
Good luck!!!

Oh also along the lines of what Carrie said, I did have a friend tell me that she had some cramping for awhile after she got her IUD in, while the other didn't have much in the way of problems after the initial insertion. So, it seems to be really person-dependent and not something that you can guarantee you will or will not have.
And I would take some ibuprofen not tylenol before because the kind of medication that it is would be better for the cramping. Just IMHO, that is
So Meg, when are you going to get it put in?
Meg - I hope everything goes really well. You'll have to let us know how you like it once you have the procedure done. I would LOVE to be done with pills, but I don't have many side effects so I'm a bit scared to switch to something else.
Thank you ladies!! Carrie that is a good question. I need to write all these down and ask the doc! Also, i wonder how long after you get it, can you have sex?? hehe OH and I am getting Mirena, so hopefully I won't have the bad cramping and stuff and horrible periods, cause that would SUCK!!
If ya'll have any questions about it that you want me to ask my doc, feel free to tell me and i'll make notes to ask her when I go next Friday!! I"m soooo soo excited!!!
Nevermind I see the Mirena. That is awesom that you got approved, they usually don't give it to women who don't have kids just yet.
coolio!
How long do you wanna keep it?
Sounds like a good option for you, hope you like it!
I am probably the only one here who likes the pill. For me its easy and only positive side effects.
I too like the Pill, I would be freaked out by not having a period every month (like many ladies do on Mirena) because it's like my barometer to know that I'm not knocked up.
And Meg, just btw, I think you can do it right there on the exam table after they've put it in if you like
(though your doc might not appreciate that, lol)
