Ladies I really need your help!

Can you please tell me what prenatal vitamins you take and how much it costs you?

Especially if you have to use Medco or another mail-in prescription company.

They are charging me $103 for a 90 day supply of Primacare (Precare is not available) !!!! So now, no one will give me the names of other prenatals to price!!!

I swear, with the day I am having today, I am surprised I haven't lost it yet!!!!! Chat Icon

Thanks!

I was just going to ask that, what's the difference?

My doc seems to really stress the prescription, but when I had this problem with the Preconceive, he said to take a regular mulitvitamin......

My doctor said they are exactly the same so that is what I take. I think you should ask your doctor what the difference is

I used Citracal with DHA since this is what my doctor told me he preferred I take. My insurance lists it as the top price so I pay $25 a month.

I had a similar problem. My doctor prescribes Prenate Elite and my old insurance used to cover it at the retail level. With my new insurance it's not covered at retail so I would pay $125 for a 90 day supply. Medco charges me $33.09 for the 90 day so I do that instead.

Have you spoken to your doctor to see what brands they would recommend so that you can price them out?

Re: Ladies I really need your help!

My doctor prescribed Cal-Nate and I pay $9/month. I forgot to fill the prescription last month so I've been taking the Target brand... That's what I took with my son.

OTC here too. My OB said there are very few differences (compare the back of a few).
