OOP/ free&discounted Med programs??

in Infertility


We are doing our 2nd cycle, this will be an FET.  We have been OOP for everything.  With the FET we obviously won't be using an stim meds so compassionate care & first steps can't help us (and unfortunately, I didn't know they existed the first time).  

Any suggestions as to where I can find discounted meds?  Thanks!!

    We just got at 25% discount through DesignRx/First Steps.  I say try them because we really didn't think we'd qualify for anything... www.designrx.net.  Good luck.

    @SillySally24‌ I enrolled in Designrx too- I am not sure how to see if I get a discount! I guess I have to contact my pharmacy and just mention I'm enrolled in the program? This is all new for me!

    @Kinderteach78 Enrolling in DesignRx gives you their base price.  They also have the First Steps program which is an income based discount program.  You have to fill out an application and submit copies of your W2 to verify your income.  They send you a discount code if you qualify.

    That's correct - the First Steps program is what I went through to get the discount.  Thank you for the clarification @twinkie0612 :)
