My heartbreaking journey to get pregnant!
Me: just turned 38 Hussy: 49 Been married for 2 going 3 years now and have been TTC since '09. Husband got checked out in '10 and was okay, count was just a little low. I did u/sounds, HSG, Sono, and all other necessary checks and the first HSG showed a blocked tube on right side. Disappointed!!! Doctor started me on Clomid which I took for about 4 cycles. I felt I needed another HSG to make sure of the blockage and more disappointment awaited me. Did the HSG and this time doctor said I have a hydrosalpinx in left tube and dye still did not go through right tube. What? I was so depressed, my was felt the same but did his best to cheer me up. Doctor recommended division of hydrosalpinx through laparoscopy and then IVF. I did the surgery and getting ready to start IVF soon. I am in Toronto and OHIP covers a part of the IVF fees, but checked out the medication and they are really expensive. Sent the list of medication to my group insurance (Industrial Alliance) about 2 wks ago to see which ones they cover and been following up with them and up to today they have not done it yet. Only my faith in God and my husband's support is keeping me going right now. Praying and hoping for the best .
Does anyone know where to get fertility medications such as these at a cheap cost?

Re: My heartbreaking journey to get pregnant!
Welcome! I'm sorry that you are dealing with so many troubles. Sounds like IVF is the right course of action. I'm glad to hear you have some coverage!
This post references another post and additional information about finding the best prices OOP for medications. HTH!

Welcome! We're in Toronto as well
Try Glen Shields Pharmacy. Their website is a down right now I think, but they're supposed to have the best prices in the area! You can also get some of the meds on a daily basis (as opposed to ordering all at once so that you don't end up with a ton of extra) and they take some insurance cards as well (so that you don't have to pay it all up front if some is covered by your insurance).
We haven't used them yet, as we're not cycling until February, but I've heard nothing but good things about them!
***EVERYONE WELCOME***
We are not on the IVF path at the moment my partner has good eggs in comparison to my prematurely old/nonexistent ones so if it doesn't work for me, She can carry our babies for us..., but we ARE in toronto, so i just wanted to say hello!
We are using that huge clinic at college and bay :
