IVF Meds mail order opinions

Good Morning :)

 IVF is our only option due to DH's azoospermia because of CBAVD.  I am ordering my medications for IVF #1 on Monday and I would greatly appreciate any opinions on mail order pharmacies.  I was looking at Freedom, Ascend, The Apothecary Shop, and Schrafts.  I think I will get medication quotes from three, that is what the IVF nurse suggested.  Also our insurance does not cover IVF at all so we are OOP.  Any opinions on these pharmacies or others would be great as well.  Thank you so much for your opinions and help with this :)

    Freedom has always been very good, fast and the most reasonable from what I have seen.

    Good luck!

    I've only ever ordered from (actually my RE places the order--they supposedly call around for the cheapest--but I don't think they actually do) IVPCare and Freedom Pharmacy.  There may be one other I've ordered from...I'll have to check.

    Both of those pharmacies deliver great! (Next day in the am no matter what time the order is placed).  One of them is more pricey than the other--but I can't remember that either.

    GL!

    I actually ordered my meds from www.ivfmeds.com which was recommended to me by my RE's ofc. I think they are much cheaper than anyplace in the U.S. and I received my order in about a week with regular shipping (they also offer expedited shipping). GL!
