    I shopped around a little - some pharmacies didn't offer it at all (I don't believe Freedom carried it - but I may be remembering incorrectly).
    I ended up buying two vials of 5.8 mg each from Mandell's Pharmacy.  The cost, including shipping was $632, which was slightly better than the price I saw from Walgreens.  I ended up using one full vial, and just one dose from the second.

    I used the same pharmacy as AMshark in the end and paid the same price as she did. My dose was 26 units on an insulin syringe and I used two bottles of it in 10 days of stimming. This pharmacy was the cheapest for me.

    I shopped around and compared prices from Walmart to Freedom to South Miami Specialty and South Miami Specialty Pharmacy was by far the best for pricing. I was prescribed Omnitrope. 5 vials for 10 days - 1/2 vial a day. It was ~$1500. About $300 a vial... expensive, I know, but of the 2 eggs they retrieved they both fertilized and were great embryos.
