Trouble TTC

Ovidrel Cost (I'm sure this has been asked before)

I went into a local pharmacy for my Ovidrel today and it was $130 out of pocket, (eek!) as my insurance has zero fertility coverage. Has anyone else, out of pocket, found it for cheaper? I saw on one website that it looked less expensive, but when I tried calling to find out the details, they did not pick up the phone. 
On a good note, the pharmacist had two successful pregnancies as a result of IUI, answered some questions, and was very excited for me. It felt like great mojo for getting this process started!
Me: 40, Hypothyroidism, well managed, TSH 1.99
DH: 44 Fine except for low morphology
TTC since 02/2013  
08/13: Day 3 tests (ESTRADIOL 20.8; AMH 1.1; FSH 6.2)
12/13 HSG, all clear
11/13-5/14 - IUIs #1-3, BFNs, 
6/14 to present: Taking a break, getting healthier, researching IVF
Planning for IVF in late summer 2015

Re: Ovidrel Cost (I'm sure this has been asked before)

  • I paid $140 the first time too. Cvs Caremark told me their rate is $90; your RE just needs to send them the script. I have to find a coupon! I didn't know that was an option .
  • About $90 at Grubbs and they have coupons. The specialty fertility pharmacies tend to be cheaper than the big box ones.
    Ready to take the road less traveled. 
  • My doctor uses Freedom Fertility Pharmacy (https://www.freedomfertility.com/) and I just paid $79.50 for my shot last week, including shipping. I'm almost positive that my insurance didn't kick in anything.

  • Mine is 104$. My RE uses Apothecary designs, they ship from Portland ME. 

  • I have only gone through Freedom twice (last month and this month) and the price was the same for both shots ($79.50). The original order was placed by my RE's office. They must have sent over the perscriptions. I wonder if that is how I missed out on that $30 fee.
