What is the "Y" shaped thing that last for

Are they reliable and what are the range
of costs?

It is NOT Y shaped, it is T shaped.
There are TWO here in the US. Mirena is
hormonal, and it lasts for 5 years.
Paragard is NON hormonal, and it lasts for
12 years.
They are the most reliable form of birth
control around, moreso than the pill, they
are equal to getting your tubes tied.
IF you have insurance, that would cover
it.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD is the best option for
women without insurance(even with too)
because they offer IUD's for lower cost
than most doctors.
