Could anyone use my unused unexpired Stim meds? I have Gonal F (needs to be refrigerated) Ganarelix and Monopur. I live close to Hartford CT
Me and DH 44
I am a genetic carrier using PGD testing
Dec 2018 ER = 0 PGS normal embryos
Jan 2019 ER = 1 PGD/ PGS normal embryo, 1 carrier embryo, 1 no result
April 2019 Hysteroscopy to remove polyp and Fibroid
May 2019 FET = BFN
September 2019 FET = BFN
Dec 2019 ER = 1 carrier embryo 
Mar ER = 0 PGS normal embryos
July 2020 ER = 0 PGS normal embryos
October 2020 Hysteroscopy to remove polyps
Nov 2020 FET = positive (little one due July 2021)

    See if your pharmacy or clinic will take them back as a donation for others? My wife got her meds this way and they were a lot cheaper (she was a cancer patient).

    You can also donate in a local Facebook group or to a Single Mothers by Choice group. Look on Facebook to see if there's anything in your area. (I'm probably gonna get a citation for this but R e d d i t Infertility has a Donations section and I often see ppl posting there, regardless of their location. If there's someone local who needs them, they'll reply.
