Ladies, there’s a new birth control in town. It’s called Kyleena, and it was recently approved for release in October. If you’re thinking about doing something different when it comes to your contraception, or just want to know what Kyleena is, we’ve got you covered.

When it comes to birth control, women can never have too many options, and it pays to learn all there is to know about them all. The good news? This new form of contraception is meant to be, according to The Huffington Post, “the first device of its kind meant to offer long-lasting contraception to women who have never been pregnant.” The not-so-good news? Kyleena can cost around $500 to $900 to insert if you don’t have insurance. But if you do have insurance, it might be covered in full.

It’s an IUD

That’s short for intrauterine device. It’s tiny, T-shaped and a gynecologist inserts it into your uterus where it keeps eggs from releasing or growing.
