Buying Meds-Experience?

Hi Ladies,

Sorry to be a drive by!  Long time lurker, pretty new poster...

I'm getting ready to order Bravelle (and Ovidrel) and need a bit of input.

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with IVF Pharmacy (www.ivfpharmacy.com)?

It looks like they're Israeli and ship to the US.  They are MUCH MUCH cheaper than our other options($508 for the Bravelle, no needles etc.), but I'm nervous about ordering from a company I know almost nothing about.

We've just finished medicated cycle #5 (3 on Clomid+Ovidrel, 2 on Femara+Ovidrel), with a gap in there for surgery (cysts and endometriosis) and one for OHSS.

Our insurance only works if we use their designated provider, so we're stuck with Caremark or nothing--our part of the cost is $933.93 (20 vials+needles/syringes/etc.)

Am I crazy for considering it?  What would you do?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

    I haven't ordered from them.  I would have a hard time ordering from a company I wasn't familiar with.  I would be worried that they would send "fake" meds or what would happen if you got them and they were expired.  There are so many things that could go wrong.  The price is definitely more attractive, but I think I'd rather pay more and be sure I was getting a reliable product.

    We bought our meds for every cycle from IVF Meds (www.ivfmeds.com).  They're in London and are much cheaper than US pharmacies.  So far, we have had no problems with them.

     Send me a PM if you'd like more info.  The website (above) has their full price list.
