I have been paying $57/vial of Bravelle. I am wondering if there is a cheaper FSH injection? I plan to ask my RE should IUI#2 be a bust. I would just like to see what you ladies are paying...
Me: 28; DH: 35
1/2008 -- Started TTC
3/2009 - FD discovered at 17 weeks1/2011 - Lap and HSG reveal Stage IV Endo and both tubes blocked.
4/2012 - Consult with RE for IVF#1 - Labs and SA are normal - Repeat HSG - SURPRISE! Both tubes are open.
May, June, August 2012 - IUI#1-3 - Letrozole + Bravelle + Ovidrel trigger = BFN
9/2012 - Lap#2 to remove endo and Hysteroscopy
IVF#1 (Long Lupron) - 12/6 ER - 20R 11F * 12/11 ET - Transferred 2 excellent blasts * 3 Frosties *
Beta #1 79.7 * Beta #2 240 * EDD - 8.29.13 * It's a GIRL!

Re: Cheapest FSH inject?
I pay $52.69/vile of Bravelle at the pharmacy here. I read many IVFers order from Freedom Pharmacy. It's $49.99/vile there if you sign up for their program:

There are also some who order from overseas (Europe) such as ivfmeds.com which offers Bravelle for $37/vile...
