What progesterone supplements did you use and how much did they cost?

I'm OOP, so I'm trying to save as much money as possible. What progesterone did you use and how much was it oop? Thanks!

PIO for IVF #1&2 - It was something like $33 a bottle and I went through a bottle a week

Prometrium for IVF #3 - close to $400 for a 4 week supply

At the time I thought the cost of the suppositories was worth it to avoid the shots, but no - it is gross and I need to do them 3x a day. If there is a next time I am going back to PIO

I hope you don't mind if I respond.

I am on Endometrin suppositories (100mg 2x per day). I have insurance coverage so they are only $40 for the month. But the bag from the pharmacy says it would be around $400 for the month OOP.

I've used the compounded supps as well as Prometrium used vaginally. Unfortunately mine were covered by ins so I can't give you an OOP cost.

I use PIO as well. I'm not sure what the OOP cost is but I think it's in the ballpark Krissy mentioned. The shots aren't the most fun things in the world, but I've heard a lot of ladies say that they are much more convenient than the suppositories. For the most part the shots don't bother me too much.

GL!
