What if I can't afford the shot?

<p>Birth control can be expensive, especially with no insurance. But raising a baby costs even more. </p><p>If you&rsquo;re on Medicaid or earn less than $21,660 a year, the shot might be free for you. If you have private insurance, the shot is probably covered and might cost you no more than your copay.</p><p>If those aren&rsquo;t options for you, check out clinics in your area that may give you a discount or payment plan if you can't afford the full price of the shot.</p><p>Another solution might be to ask your partner to help pay for the expense.</p>
