The last time we did IVF we ended up with several doses of some of the drugs left over. Last time I wasn't in touch with anyone else going through IF so I just threw the stuff away. If we have left over drugs this time is it okay to offer them as a donation to someone on here who will have to pay OOP and needs them? Is that okay or would that be wrong or weird or something?
The drugs I'll be taking this time around are the same as the last time around.
Gonal-f, low dose HCG, Cetrotide, Ovidrel, Leuprolide, and of course progesterone.
