wifeinraleigh my fingers are crossed for you. What is your meds list? I hope you have less than me. Luckily I got to skip out on the birth control pills. I basically got everything already and omg there is so much!! Two huge boxes!!
@Drove2u I haven't received my med list yet. All I know is that if I qualify for the clinical trial it will either be menopur OR gonal f since the whole purpose of the study is to compare the two. I don't know what additional meds will be part of it though. Also don't know what my meds will be if I don't qualify and we go with my RE's original protocol but I have a feeling it is going to be a very long list like yours and extremely expensive!

Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014 IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17 FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
@Drove2u lol...yay! I only guessed that cause your list of meds sounded pretty familiar. I won't be getting my "official" list for a bit, but the general info packet I got at the last appointment had that exact list...
My meds get delivered tomorrow and I was charged a minimal amount which was great. I have to take a zpack again the week of the retrieval. I'm taking follistim, menopur, gonal f, medrol, lupron, progesterone oil, hcg, and ganerelix.
Ultratomato my meds were covered. Only about $200 in total. But I got the statement from insurance with the actual amounts just for injectables and it was $12000. I got my last med today which was $119 but I had to pay $12. Wifeinraleigh: I hear most people pay the amount you said because it is covered that way. My statement said $12k so that's what insurance paid.
@ wifeinraleigh You might check to see if you qualify for a discount on some of the medications. I had some websites from my RE's office that I was told to go to and apply for the discounts. Also, the pharmacy we had to go through had a discount program that we applied to and received. I ended up getting a couple of discounts on some of my medication. We had to pay out of pocket for the meds but then file a claim with insurance. The first time it was around $4200 for follistim, menupor, omnitrope, pregnyl, and lupron. That was with the 25% off discount on a couple of them. From what I was told some can get up to 50% off.

Loan through my parents Though we originally had a Loan through Prosper. My father heard about 20% interest and freaked out. I'm so appreciated to our family.

Definitely savings. We went for DE IVF treatment to Ukraine, Biotexcom. There booked the program for 5 att for 9900 euro. This was our last chance as had no money left for other options in case in failure. Moreover our program went with the guarantee. In case of 5 failures they refund all money paid. This was the last point for us to make the decision, frankly speaking..
Yes, Drove2u. I'm Ukrainian, my husband is English. (DH already has a kid from his previous marriage). I still have so many friends there. Of course they helped with the process. I mean got all the necessary info for us at the initial stage. For us it seemed financially more attractive to come abroad for treatment than do it home. Take care x
DH and I have insurance thru my employer which is a Catholic entity and no coverage at all! We took a loan out from CapeXMD that covers 2 fresh and unlimited frozen transfers. First set of meds were included in loan but anything after that was OOP.
