Did you schedule a six week post IUD insertion check up?

Hi everyone! I was chatting with some girlfriends and told them that I have my six week checkup next week. My doctor told me it would be to “check the string.”

One of the girls works as a military medical assistant, and actually told me that the VA does not cover these appointments because they aren’t necessary. She was told it’s a way for medical offices to get more money out of you.

She said if I feel fine, there’s no reason for me to go. I do feel good. Only con is the spotting since the insertion, but that was expected.

It would be nice to avoid the $94 copay….what do you all think? I have no comments, questions, or concerns for the doctor.
