Infertility

Pharmacy?

What pharmacy do you use for IVF medications? I was told to "shop around" for the best price. 

Re: Pharmacy?

  • My clinic claimed they did the shopping around for me and had me use Freedom for the bulk of meds (Gonal-F, Cetrotide, Menopur and Novarel). They're having me order my Lupron trigger from SMP Fertility.

    Freedom for some things, a local branch of SMP Fertility compounding pharmacy for my PIO and patches.

    Freedom was v. good though and I think its prices were competitive. They also had tons of rebate codes and things they applied to my orders. I used them for 3 IUI's and 1 IVF cycle.

  • I used Mandells. I thought their prices were reasonable. They gave me rebates on Gonal f and Menopur I believe. The price of Lupron with them also just went down by about $400 which was very exciting. 
  • i used freedom but i started to find some cheaper-  This time around my insurance covered most  and I just had to pay copays 
     If you are interested I do have 7 boxes of menopur 3 gonal f 450 and one cetrotide.  $75 for each-   I'm just trying to make back my copays but would love to be able to help someone else at the same time
