Hi, I’m a reg over on General Discussion, but about to start my second fresh IVF cycle.
I just got got the total price for our meds and want to vomit. Anyone have any tricks to get some discounts or help with the costs? Nothing is covered by our insurance so we are fully self pay.
Thanks in advance for any advice, and I hope to be active over here as we start all of this over after a 5 year break.

Welcome! I don’t have any advice on meds but I think we had a thread awhile back about it so I’m guessing people will chime in with great advice. I hope this IVF cycle goes well for you!

Welcome adm11. H and I are doing medicated TI, but I've heard of people using a couple of good pharmacies. One is called fastivf.com I think. I can't remember the name of the other one, but I'm pretty sure they're both in that thread that obscureference linked. Also, you can look at goodrx.com for prices too. Good luck with IVF!

I had prices from 6 years ago in my head and it’s doubled. H is flipping out.

Welcome! And feel free to join the IVF check in thread if you like. It’s slowed down a bit lately, but we’re here!
For meds, when I ordered domestic I use SMP Pharmacy and they would run some things though my insurance but use their discount program for things I didn’t have coverage for. For example, I had full coverage for the codeine, but used their out of pocket discount program for my Gonal F. I also use ivfmeds.com for Menopur, since it’s less than half the cost of you order overseas!

Welcome! I'm not in the US, so I don't have any advice regarding the meds, but it sounds like you got some great info already. Good luck!

Thank you all! I’ve learned so much about meds today. Looking into going with fastivf.com. Can’t believe the cost difference
